Fly your way to win!

XRace introduces new and revolutionary format of task setting and scoring of paragliding competitions. We decided to organise competition with tasks well known from gliding – AAT (Assignated Area Tasks).

Why AAT?

AAT tasks brings new and fresh breeze into today´s boring style of paragliding competitions where flying too conservatively in group and following others is the winning strategy.
AAT is answer for competition pilots who do not want to fly in cross country competitions where individuality is disadvantage.
AAT is simple and understandable. We will use radius sectors and pilots don´t need any special GPS devices or PDA.
Detailed description of AAT tasks si here: About AAT

In addition to AAT we will fly well-known "Speed run" tasks. All flights will be uploaded to XContest where the task setting and scoring will be done. Like other events held at XContest, provisional and final results will be live at XContest website immediately after tracklog download.
