Rules

The XContest Denmark is...

1. Simple: There's no need to declare tasks (and risk invalidation due to an instrument error) - just plan and fly the day as best you can. The system will score you automatically as either open distance, or closed circuit.
2. Automated: Download the free XCtrack app (or use your preferred live-tracking platform, such as FlySkyHy) to automatically log your flights when you land.
3. Open to all: It is open to hang glider and paraglider pilots, and regardless of whether you are soaring or thermalling
4. Fair ranking: There's an open category featuring all classes, and each category of glider has its own individual class ranking, too.

Rules

1. Be quick: Submit your flight tracklog (IGC file) within 14 days. Our system is robust and accepts a wide range of file formats. For 2025, we will accept back-dated flights to 1 October 2024.
2. Be qualified: You must be a DHPU member with an appropriate qualification and rating for the flying you are doing.
3. Be good with airspace: Flights must be conducted in accordance with DK law and VFR rules. The pilot is solely responsible for ensuring this compliance. If a flight infringes airspace, it is disqualified. There is zero tolerance, and zero tolerances.
4. Be prepared to donate! If you submit a flight that infringes permanent or temporary airspace (eg a NOTAM), you will be asked to make a 500 DKK donation to your local club, and your flight will be removed.
5. Be helpful: The XContest DK needs to be self-marshaling. If you spot a problem with someone else's flight, contact them and work it out together! Please use your instrument manufacturer's support to help you with any technical issues.
