BIGGLES LEAGUE RULES for F1H and F1J - 2017

The CD can change Gala competition rules, but at least three rounds must be scheduled.
A competitor must register at least one timed flight to claim Biggles points.
In the case of an unresolved tie on the day, points are added and shared.

Biggles points are awarded for the first six places. As an incentive to fly, just one flyer
could score 6 points, as in the following table...

Six flyers plus ...9, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Five flyers ...6, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Four flyers ...6, 4, 3, 2...
Three flyers ...6, 4, 3...
Two flyers ...6, 4...
One flyer ...6...

Trophies are awarded at the end of the season to the F1H and F1J competitors who accumulate
most points from five events. A points tie will (hopefully) be resolved in favour of...
...the most 9 point wins, ...6 point wins, ...6 point seconds... etc...
