Preliminary Entry List

The preliminary entries for the contest have been submitted to the contest organizers in Germany and for now the contest is oversubscribed. There are 163 preliminary entries listed on the Contest Website from 34 countries!

The organizers want to limit entries to 130 total! This means that we need to get our entry fee of 950 Euros per pilot to the organizers before the 31 March deadline. Missing this deadline will be the first cut-off to reduce the number of pilots. If there are still too many pilots after entry fees are submitted, the entries will be ranked by the Country's standing on the IGC Ranking list.


At the moment Canada is ranked 28 out of 37, but it looks like we can move up to 25th once some of the 2007 contests are counted. This would place us above Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Serbia, and Ukraine.
