Contest schedule for 1997 Italian Aerobatic Championship has been approved
and is listed below. Contests flights are held exclusively on Saturday and
Sunday, in order to ease efforts of both pilots and judges, which have their
own work to think about during weekdays. Thus, categories have been grouped
in Sportsmen - Unlimited and Intermediate - Advanced, with the important
side effect of equating total number of contestants for each run.
Sportsmen and Intermediate are held on 3 programs, one Known and two
Unknowns: contest is declared valid after Known and Unknown #1. Advanced is
held on one Known, one Aresti Freestyle (300K, 15 figures), and two
Unknowns: contest valid after Known and Free. Unlimited is held on Known,
Aresti Freestyle (420K, 17 figures) and Unknown, and is valid after Known
and Free.
Since many problems arise in Italy, where terrain is mostly uneven and
population density is high, box has been withdrawn and substituted with a
simple display line in front of judges. To allow a better assessment of
flights, K factor for positioning has been increased to 20 for all flights
and categories.
Scoring system is once more the so-called "Mini-Bauer", where highest and
lowest scores are discarded figure by figure and averaged at the end.
Judging panel is composed by 5 peoples.
Finally, National Titles are awarded by summing best contest points % scored
during the season and the one scored in the Final. In case final is not
declared valid (as happened in 1996 for Unlimited because of weather),
Titles are awarded on best points % only.
This method allows pilots to organize their season on a free basis,
participating to contests more close or practical for them as they wish, and
"taking home" a bias results for Final.
