The CIVL Delegates' work during the 2020 Plenary resulted in a
number of changes to Section 7 of FAI Sporting Code and its subsections. The
amended versions are published on the website and become effective on May 1,
2020. Among the initiatives introduced this time, there are allocation rules,
eligibility to compete, safety issues, a change in the method of fees
calculation and payment, more flexibility for cat 2 organizers to accept local
pilots, category 2 events requirements, badges receiving made easy and many
others. Important work has been done to define the process of penalties, complaints,
protests and appeals in Cat 2 events. It was reviewed for all sports including
XC, Accuracy and Aerobatics. As usual, a number of changes were introduced in Accuracy: target, relaunch, use
of video, exemptions to compete, etc. Significant changes have been done in the GAP scoring: no more final glide
decelerators and conical ESS, no more Exit-Enter cylinders (including start),
clarification of task distance calculation, PWCA leading and time points for
paragliding, best score for FVT validity, etc. Find about it in Section 7 F. Records from now have a free distance variation and also a possibility to equal
the previously made record. CCC paraglider requirements have undergone a serious revision, answering the
problems faced in 2019. The rules have been simplified and re-written to exclude
linguistic misunderstanding. Also, the new forms to be filled in order to apply
for certification were introduced. Check Section 7 G with Annexes A and B.
