Welcome to The Governor's Cup 2010
The 2010 Guv Cup season opens on March 1st. !!! This years teams again include: The 2009 GC Winners !!! The Brandywine Snifters - Brandywine Soaring Assn
The 2010 GC has the potential to be the hottest season since the inception The Cup ~ 15 years ago. The Snifters will be flying high and fast - full of confidence from their first win ... the Puds will be flying low and fast - full of Budweiser (or some other cheap beer of choice) - looking for revenge ... and the Horde will be launching a new crop of XC pilots in state-of-the-art soaring technology. This season could be fun to watch. Please register and add your sailplane make and model - you can do this when you upload your first flight. Your Competition ID at registration is the primary key used to identify you and link you to a club and sailplane. Create two Competition IDs if you belong to two clubs and will be uploading flights for both. For Example, QV could be QV-PGC and QV-BSA. Create a unique team ID when you submit a two place TEAM FLIGHT ... PGC1, PGC2, Bob-Bill are possible example formats. Team submissions assume you will be flying the same type of aircraft on each flight. The turnpoints for 2009 will remain unchanged. We will review the Kutztown situation perhaps make changes later in the season.
2009 Recap The 2009 G-cup is over and an upstart group of XC pilots from Brandywine Soaring have taken the trophy - ending the dynasty held by ACA since the GC inception. The BSA team accomplished this amazing feat by launching a sustained series of long-winged cruise missiles from their rebel base … taking the overall club lead … and putting many BSA pilots in the top scoring spots. This may not be a fluke as the BSA team members are all accomplished contest pilots and will probably repeat next season. PGC came in a distant third - but should not be counted out as they have a good roster and could easily mount a substantial threat if they get serious about XC. Tune in next season … it should be exciting. Thanks Yous to Dave and John for doing all the work needed to setup the data collection and scoring systems.
