League Meet - U.S. Paragliding Competitions

WASATCH

Intermountain League Meet – Wasatch (Salt Lake area) : August 20-22, 2010

The Wasatch Intermountain League Meet is on for August 20-22. The site will be either Inspo or Jupiter.

Please go to usparaglidingcomps.com and register for the meet. Registration is free and it only takes a minute or so. Registration will help us plan for retrieves and collect contact and emergency information so we do not waste time doing that instead of flying.

Pilot check-in and meeting will be Friday morning, August 20, 9:30 am to 11 am, at Point of the Mountain North Side Park and Ride.  Take I-15 exit 288, directly west of the Point North Side. The Park and Ride is just west of the I-15 exit ramp. We will head down to the Inspo LZ (about 45 minutes) at 11 am, then directly up to launch. On Saturday and Sunday there will be a brief meeting at 11 am at the Park and Ride to look at the sky.

Pilot meeting for the task call will be at 1 pm daily on launch.

A Few Details... You need to do a few things to be in the meet:

  • Sign a waiver. I will have those at the Park and Ride.
  • Join the Utah club, UHGPGA, if you are not already a member. I will have the forms and will collect this money at the Park and Ride. It costs $5 per day, $25 for a week, or $50 for the year.
  • Pay $12 for each flying day. I will collect this money at the Park and Ride. If we don't fly, I will return this money. (This is a completely non-profit deal. All money goes to meet expenses, retrieve and beer; anything left over is returned to the pilots as prize money. We are hoping to have some sponsor prizes too.)
  • Please have cash, exact change if possible.
  • Check in with me in person before you launch.
  • Check in with me (or somebody else to be named) by text message when you land.
  • Retrieve drivers are wanted... please... and will be thanked, respected, and reimbursed for mileage until the money runs out. If you can drive retrieve, or know someone who can, please contact me.
  • Scoring details will be figured out shortly. Please bring a cable for your gps, especially if your cable is something other than a mini usb or Flytec 50 series.
