Many thanks to Martin for saving the weekend! We once again flew nice tasks and had a lot of fun in Graubünden.
This being said some questions have been raised this weekend.
I will try to stay as factual as possible and synthetise the interrogations pilots seemed to have last weekend. If I am completely out of line please tell me and/or delete this comment.
There might have been some misunderstandings but still how can one think it is possible to organise a Swiss Cup without doing anything at all?
Another concern (which I seem to share with at least a few other pilots) is that we paid an normal entry fee for a well organised Swiss Cup.
To be clear I personnally don't have a very big problem with losing 20 CHF; but that times the number of pilots we were is still quite some money!
How was it put to use as we recieved no lunch bags, had no retrieve nor transport to take off, no prize-giving ceremony... in short nothing except what the League organised!
Some were speaking of using it to cut the grass on the landing but is that not something every paragliding school has to do even if there is no comp?

Ich muss da wohl was verpasst haben!? Doch ich möchte mich bei allen Beteiligten der Organisation für den tollen Event bedanken. Der Landeplatz mit Verpflegung und Pool war ja spitze, sowie die Hotelkombination mit Bergbahn Tickets.

just started competing this year, and this is the first time I see an organization as poorly made??, the organizer had better go play with lego!
I still do not understand the registration of 20 CHF, I hope that this money is destined for neighboring farmer, because if it ended up in the pocket of this incompetent organizer this would be unacceptable!
I want to especially thank Martin for saving this weekend with his expertise!
Regards, Olivier.
