If you look at the starting lists they have starting lists for 10 rounds 
for juniors and 11 rounds for seniors. I'm not sure if they are supposed 
to go through all of them but the weather has been good, so I suppose 
there will be some more preliminary rounds tomorrow morning.

Wow! New scores up on the site:

6th place - Joe Wurts

11th place - Tom Kiesling

Looks like David Hobby took a big hit and dropped from 3rd or 4th back 
to 10th!


That also pushes Team USA to 2nd in the Senior Team competition!

Go Team!

Even though we can see only the scores and pix, it's exciting to follow. 

The Canadians, Yanks, Germans, Czechs and Aussies each have two flyers 
qualified for the flyoffs at the moment, plus one flyer from Japan and one from 
Italy. 

Despite not having anyone in the top 12, the host Slovaks are third in the team 
event.

It goes to show what world-wide appeal our sport has. I think it's fair to say 
that the F3J rules seem quirky to us, and few of us have ever flown from a 
two-man hand tow with the goal of maximizing flight time within a window. 
Still, we've fielded a terrific team -- and so have all the other competing 
nations. The 50th-place guy has 95.6% of the leader's score. Just think of all 
the flyers world-wide who could qualify for 'I beat Gordy' badges.
