The Southern California XC (Cross Country) League is open to both Paragliders and Hang Gliders, and will be broken down into categories. For those of you who haven't attended a league meet, the league is low-key and very informal. The league is an introduction for pilots that would like to fly in sanctioned competitions. Although the league environment is much more relaxed than a sanctioned competition, it will still mirror the scoring and task setting formats competitions use. The league caters to a newer pilot wanting to learn the ropes as well as the seasoned pilot who just wants to maintain/hone skills.
One of the features that the league will be using is publishing results using Leonardo, as well as the traditional scoring method. With Leonardo you can view your track log in 2-D, 3-D, animate your flight, view it in Google Earth, animate it in Google Earth, and compare your flight with others using all these features. To check it out, go to the Results page and click on the Leonardo link.
To participate in the league, follow these steps:
- Go to the REGISTER section of the website to read the rules and download the necessary forms / technical info
- Once your registration is received and processed you will be issued a pilot ID and it will be posted on the PILOT ID page. Check to see that you've been added. All registered participants will receive emails with meet details prior to each meet
- That's pretty much it. Check your email, the CALENDAR and NEWS page, and show up at the next meet
