The 2020 World Championships aren't open to open class 1 pilots,
so we have proposed a CIVL and USHPA category 2 sanctioned competition just
before the 2020 Worlds at Wilotree Park in Groveland, Florida, the site of the
2020 World Championships.

Of course, there will also be the Category 1 Pan-American Championships for open
class 1 pilots in Big Spring, Texas in August.

Our proposal is for the competition to take place April 12th through 18th, just
before the Worlds. You'll find it on our competition calendar here:
https://ozreport.com/calendar.php. We are also proposing to have two days of
official practice tasks on the 10th and 11th which will include set tasks, live
tracking, and scoring for the day (not added to the cumulative score for the
competition). Check in will be on Friday morning if you want to do the official
task on Friday, and Saturday at the regular times for everyone else (those doing
the official task on Saturday come in the morning).

We'll have a web page up for this competition a bit later. We will also apply
for sanctioning and that will be decided upon in October by the USHPA.

We figure that nine days of tasks, live tracking, and daily scoring will be
attractive to pilots.

The competition will also be open to pilots who have been confirmed for the
World Championships. The women, of course, would be flying in the open class.
The sport class, rigid wing pilots and Swift pilots would be flying in their own
classes. But again, unless you are an open class 1 pilot, you must be confirmed
for the Worlds to fly in this competition in your class.
