1.0 ORGANIZATION
These rules govern the 1-26 Championships.
1.1 Rule changes may be made only for safety reasons by the Competition Director alone. If errors are discovered in
these rules which force the Scorer to arbitrarily score the contest, written corrections shall be made and passed by majority
vote of the Competition Director plus competing Association Officers and Rules Committee members. The written correction(s)
shall be distributed to Contestants as soon as reasonably possible and be effective for the entire duration of the
competition. By entering the Championships, each pilot agrees to abide by these rules.
1.2 Selection of the sponsor and the Championship site is by the 1-26 Association Executive Board. Candidate sponsors
shall submit proposals in writing to the Association President in advance so as to allow the selection to be announced at
the Championship one year preceding the proposed Championship. The sponsor will include in the proposal a site description,
the entry fee, and the proposed Championship date. The entry fee shall include eight (8) aero tows and cover other
Championship operation expenditures.
1.3 Sponsor Duties - The sponsor shall arrange for one or more social events during the contest and an awards brunch on
the day after the last day of competition. These activities shall be billed separately from the basic Championship entry
fee. Specific responsibilities of the sponsor shall include the following as a minimum:
a. Obtain a contest sanction from the Soaring Society of America.
b. Appoint a Championship Manager who shall be responsible for organization and daily operations.
c. Publish any local flying rules which will apply to the Championship site and air space.
d. Appoint a Competition Director. This appointment must be approved by the 1-26 Executive Board.
e. Provide special items and capabilities necessary for the competition, including as a minimum:
(1) Take-off Photo Board - Include Date and Contest Number (001 through 700) in numerals large enough
for photo legibility.
(2) Start Gate Sighting Station(s) (to judge proper gate crossing and gate width boundaries).
(3) Field layout for tiedowns, launch patterns, start and finish gates, landback area, IP
(par. 6.10e) and other local information drawn in diagram form and distributed.
(4) Sufficient launching capacity to assure that all entries can be launched within one hour.
(5) Championship Turnpoint Booklet - A booklet containing each photo target/turnpoint relationship will
be provided. Supplementary photographs are desirable but not required. If provided, they must be
taken from the position and in the direction shown in the diagram. A minimum of 20 turnpoints each
within 60 statute miles of the launch site will be provided. Each turnpoint must be a prominent
feature, e.g. the end of a runway, a factory, a farm, etc. The booklet shall contain the latitude
and longitude of each turnpoint, with coordinates accurate to within 0.1 mile or better based on
WGS-84 datum. The photo target shall be located between .5 and 1.5 statute miles from the turnpoint.
If possible, the target and turnpoint are to be joined by a straight line feature such as a runway,
road, railroad track, etc. The diagram shall clearly indicate the location of the target with the
symbol "O" and the location of the turnpoint with a glider symbol. The glider symbol shall be
oriented such that its left wing points to the target indicating to the pilot proper location and
heading for photographing the target. The glider heading in degrees and an arrow indicating North
shall be noted on the diagram.
The booklet shall also include a chart which lists the turnpoint distances between legs. This chart
will contain columns and rows listing the turnpoints with the mileage connecting the turnpoints (legs)
listed at the intersections of the rows and columns. Prohibited legs (legs crossing Class B or Class
C airspace or some other prohibited area) to be marked *P*.
(6) Computerized scoring system and facilities for the rapid copy of score sheets and their distribution
at the next day's pilots' meeting.
(7) Film developing capability for 35mm. Sponsor shall provide 35mm film ISO 100, 200 or 400 speed.
(8) A radio-equipped orbiting airplane, when Championship is held in sparsely populated areas where
access to telephones are limited, to provide landout assistance and to obtain landout scoring
information shall be provided on an "as required" basis.
(9) Sponsor shall provide "sniffer" tows as necessary prior to launching to assess soaring conditions.
(10) A sponsor furnished award shall be presented to:
(a) Each of the three highest cumulative scoring (individual) ENTRANTS.
(b) Each of the three highest cumulative scoring TEAM ENTRANTS.
1.4 The Competition Director is encouraged to seek an independent advisor who is familiar with the 1-26 capabilities and
these rules. The purpose of this advisor is to aid in task selection and rule interpretation. The Competition Director may
appoint a Pilot's Advisory Committee of two competing pilots to review and advise on task selection.
2.0 ENTRIES AND REGISTRATION
2.1 Acceptance in the 1-26 Championships requires proof of:
a. Current membership in the 1-26 Association and the SSA.
b. A valid FAA private or higher pilot certificate with glider rating.
c. An FAI Silver Badge or suitable contest or other experience or training satisfactory to the Manager or
Director.
d. Payment of the entry fee as established by the sponsor.
Each pilot must declare his/her status as either an ENTRANT or a TEAM ENTRANT member prior to the first scheduled
contest day pilot's meeting.
The terms CONTESTANT and CONTESTANTS include both ENTRANT and TEAM ENTRANT.
2.3 A maximum of 60 entries is permitted, but this number may be reduced on joint agreement of Sponsor and 1-26
Executive Committee.
3.0 SAILPLANES AND EQUIPMENT
3.1 Only Schweizer 1-26 sailplanes with standard airworthiness certificates are eligible. Supplemental type certificate
modifications are prohibited.
3.2 The 1-26 three-digit serial number is the contest number and must be displayed on the bottom surface of the right
wing such that the top edge of the numerals is nearest the wing's leading edge. Block numerals, not less than 36"
high with a 6" wide stroke and contrasting colors are recommended. The contest number shall also appear on both
sides of the vertical tail in not less than 6" high numerals. The Competition Director may accept a different
display, if satisfied there will be no identification problem.
3.3 After the first contest launch, exchange of a damaged 1-26 shall be reported to the Competition Director. Test
flights shall not be allowed which might interfere with contest flight operations.
3.4 A parachute must be worn on every contest flight.
3.5 The installation of instrument combinations which will permit flight without visual reference to the ground are
prohibited. Navigation aids are permitted.
3.6 Start and finish gate radio communication is required. Start/finish gates will normally use 123.3 MHz. Pilot/crew
communications will normally use 123.5 MHz.
4.0 CONTEST REQUIREMENTS
4.1 The period of competition will be eight consecutive days from Wednesday through Wednesday (dates as announced).
4.2 For an official championship there must be a minimum of three contest days. Contest day is defined in rule 7.12.
4.3 To satisfy the needs of TEAM ENTRANTS, two practice days shall be scheduled before the first Competition Day with all
contest operations functional. Contestant participation is optional.
4.4 On the evening before the first scheduled Competition Day, a mandatory pilots' meeting shall be held to present a
briefing on safety, the rules, field operations and review of other contest-related matters. Pilots not attending
shall not fly in the contest until they have been briefed on the contents of this meeting by the Competition
Director or the Championship Manager.
5.0 TASKS
5.1 Assigned Speed Task (AST): Speed over a specific course with one or more turnpoints in which the sequence is
specified. This task can be an out-and-return, a quadrilateral, a triangle, or a lap race.
5.2 Pilot Option Speed Task(POST)
a. Speed over a pilot-selected course with a finish at the Championship site. The CD shall specify a
minimum task time. Contestants may use a maximum of 8 turnpoints including the contest site. Two
intervening turnpoints must be used prior to returning to a previously used turnpoint. To receive
speed points, the Contestant's completed task must exceed a minimum distance set by the CD, who may
set a distance longer, but not shorter than 30 miles. If he does not set a longer distance the CD
is considered to have set a 30 mile minimum distance.
b. The Competition Director may prohibit certain turnpoint(s) for use as first turnpoints if there is a
realistic chance altitudes attainable would permit a contestant to photograph such a turnpoint and
return for a start within the STI for that turnpoint. Such decisions by the CD shall be based on the
forcasted weather for the day and the realistic capabilities of the 1-26.
c. The Competition Director may designate the first turnpoint, which must be used before using other
turnpoints.
5.3 Task selection shall strive for at least a 50% completion rate and a winning time of not less than two (2) hours.
5.4 The Competition Director may change the task after launch has begun but before the task opens. The task change will
be announced on 123.3 Mhz and a roll call of the Contestants taken to verify that each Contestant is aware of the task
change. If any Contestant fails to respond to the roll call, a predetermined visual signal will be displayed on the ground.
Each Contestant is responsible for checking for the visual signal prior to starting the task. At least 10 minutes will be
provided after completion of the roll call or display of the visual signal before the new task is open.
6.00 CONTEST PROCEDURES AND FLYING
6.01 Schedule of Task Events:
a. Launching operations shall commence when soaring flight can be sustained.
b. The task shall "open" 15 minutes after the last launch within the Designated Launch Grid.
c. The Finish Gate closes at sunset; the exact time to be announced at the first pilots' meeting and shall not
be changed thereafter.
6.02 Pilots' Meeting
A pilots' meeting is held prior to the day's task at which:
a. The primary task will be briefed.
b. A weather briefing will be provided.
c. Appropriate score sheets (both unofficial and official) will be distributed. ("Unofficial" means that a
portion of the scoring is not complete or some aspect has not been confirmed.)
d. Assigned takeoff grid positions will be displayed. The Competition Director will announce a Grid Time (time
when all gliders must be in proper launch position) based on an estimate of the commencement of sustainable
soaring conditions.
e. Any other matters pertinent to the Contest will be discussed.
6.03 The order of takeoff (Designated Launch Grid) is initially determined by random draw by contest officials. The
takeoff order so determined shall not be altered until the successful completion of a Contest Day as defined in 4.3.
On Competition Days following this Contest Day, the takeoff order shall be altered by reversing the order of the top
20% of the Entrants, and moving it to the bottom of the list. The order so established shall remain in effect until
another successful Contest Day has been achieved, after which the above reordering procedure is again repeated.
6.04 For every contest launch, the contest number, towplane number and roll time shall be recorded. Tow tickets shall not
be used.
6.05 The starter may require a Contestant not ready for a punctual takeoff to withdraw from the Designated Launch Grid for
a later launch.
6.06 Launches shall be to 2000 feet AGL and to a specified area. The pilot may release at any time during the tow.
6.07 A pilot may take any number of tows.
6.08 Contestants flying in the vicinity of the start/finish lines must not interfere with contest starts or finishes or
the officials' view of these lines.
6.09 LAUNCH PROCEDURES
a. All Contestants must have their gliders in the Designated Launch Grid position at Grid Time and be prepared
to be launched within 15 minutes.
b. The Competition Director may direct that a glider (a "sniffer") be sent aloft to assess soaring conditions.
c. A Contestant may pull out of the Designated Launch Grid at any time; however, that Contestant must then go to
a designated staging area (normally the end of the Grid) for assignment of a new launch position by the
starter. Contestants who pull out shall not be launched as part of the Designated Launch Grid.
6.10 STARTING PROCEDURES
a. The Start Gate is a vertical rectangle 3300 feet wide and as high as soaring conditions permit. The bottom
of the rectangle shall be defined by objects on the ground identifiable from starting altitudes. A vertical
projecting line above the sighting station shall establish the near edge of the Start Gate rectangle.
b. The task opening shall be announced on 123.3 Mhz ("Task is open") 15 minutes after completion of the last
launch within the Designated Launch Grid. A 10 minute advisory will be provided on 123.3 Mhz with the
announcement "Task opens in 10 minutes".
c. A Start Time Interval (STI) shall be announced by the CD based on the formula: Distance to the first
turnpoint (in miles) times 2.28. For Contestants who are launched before the task opens (and do not relaunch),
the STI is the elapsed time between task opening and their first start and also between subsequent starts.
For Contestants who launch after the task is open, the STI is the elapsed time between their latest l1aunch
roll time and their first start and between subsequent starts.
d. A Contestant's official start time is determined as follows:
i) For Contestants who launch before the task opens (and do not relaunch):
Invalid Start Photo or No Start Photo = Contestant is scored as DNC.
Valid Start Photo + no Good Start = Contestant's start time is Task Open Time
Valid Start Photo + STI violation on first Good Start = Contestant's start time is Task Open
Time
All other situations: Contestant's start time is latest Good Start without prior STI
violation
ii) For Contestants who launch after the task opens, the following applies to their last launch:
Invalid Start Photo or no Start Photo + No Good Start = Contestant is scored as DNC.
Valid Start Photo or Good Start = Contestant's start time is the later of:
their launch roll time or latest Good Start without prior STI violation.
iii) For Contestants who are required to take a Start Photo and their Valid Start Photo is taken more
than 1 mile from the Start Photo Object: A 5% penalty applies (a) to the Contestant's course
speed if the Contestant is eligible to be scored based on speed, or (b) to the Contestant's
achieved distance.
e. Starts must be initiated with a turn over a designated "Initial Position" (IP) . . . (preferably a landmark
located about 1/2 mile from the sighting station). Pilots electing to start shall transmit "Call sign".
The Starter will reply "Call sign, proceed". Pilots should not continue beyond the IP until advised.
f. As the 1-26 passes the Gate, the Starter will transmit "Mark". Shortly thereafter, the Starter will announce
"Call sign, good start" or "Call sign, bad try". Pilots shall acknowledge a "Bad try". The reason for a
"Bad try" shall be announced as follows:
(1) Following the preceding 1-26 too closely.
(2) Not passing within the limits of the Start Gate.
(3) Not being observed.
g. Pilots experiencing radio failure are advised to follow another 1-26 and rock their wings when approaching
the Start Gate.
6.11 FINISHING PROCEDURES
a. The Finish Gate shall be 3300 feet horizontally with no limit on altitude. Nominally, the Gate shall be
positioned to permit Contestants to fly through it and land without turning (for low and "rolling" finish
considerations).
b. When approaching the Finish Gate and approximately two minutes away, the pilot shall transmit "Call sign, two
minutes from (a direction, i.e. southeast, west, etc.)"
c. The Finish Gate will acknowledge with "Call sign".
d. As the nose of the 1-26 penetrates the Finish Gate, either flying or rolling, the Gate will transmit "Call
sign, mark", and as soon as possible thereafter "Call sign, good finish" or "Call sign, bad try".
e. A "bad try" occurs when the Contestant passes through the finish gate in the wrong direction.
f. When a Contestant has received a "Bad Try", the Contestant's finish time for speed purposes shall occur the
moment the glider is "officially observed" to have landed and stopped rolling within the safe landing
boundaries of the gliderport or airport. This occurrence still results in a "finish" for speed points
purposes.
g. A Contestant who lands within the safe landing boundaries of the airport or gliderport without passing
through the Finish Gate is considered to have finished for speed purposes. The Contestant's finish time
shall be one minute after the glider is "officially observed" to have stopped rolling within the safe
landing boundaries of the airport or gliderport.
h. The Finish Gate may provide runway-in-use information, surface wind conditions, and caution warnings when any
potentially dangerous situations arise, e.g. glider approaching the finish line from the wrong direction.
i. After receiving the "mark" transmission the Contestant must land within ten minutes.
j. After finishing the task, landing back, or after a retrieve, a Contestant may opt for another attempt at the
task. Another photograph of the takeoff board or a contest official must be made. Relaunches after a flying
retrieve (aero-tow or ground launch) are not permitted.
6.12 FLIGHT DOCUMENTATION AND PHOTOGRAPHIC CONTROL PROCEDURES
a. At least one camera shall be mounted in the aircraft such that photographs include the left wing tip. Cameras
shall be capable of using standard 35mm film (ISO 100, 200 or 400 speed rating).
b. Prior to the first contest flight on every Competition Day, the takeoff board showing the contest number and
date must be photographed with the Entrant's turning point camera. The takeoff board or contest official must
be photographed before every subsequent contest launch.
c. Start Photo: Within one minute of the task opening, a movable Start Photo Object (glider trailer or other)
shall be oriented at a designated spot at the launch site (gate vicinity). The placement of the Start Photo
Object shall be announced by the gate on 123.3 Mhz. The Start Photo Object must be discernible on the
turnpoint film in proper order for the contestant to be credited with a Valid Start Photo.
All Contestants who launch before the task opens and do not relaunch must take a Valid Start Photo of the
Start Photo Object within one mile of the Object prior to photographing their first turnpoint. Contestants
who launch after the task opens must either take a Valid Start Photo or get a Good Start prior to
photographing their first turnpoint.
d. Turnpoint Control-A turnpoint photograph, taken from over the turnpoint, must show the photo target, the left
wing tip and that the sailplane was within 1/4 mile horizontally of the turnpoint.
e. For task credit, the film strip must document the start board photo, start photo if required, relaunch photo
if required and pertinent turnpoints in the sequence claimed or required. Out of sequence turnpoints will be
ignored.
f. Film and landing cards must be turned in as follows:
(1) Within one hour of a first finish.
(2) Within one hour of a second finish or a landing at the contest site, if the task is attempted
twice.
(3) As soon as possible after a final outlanding, but not later than the next pilots' meeting.
g. Landing cards must be "turned in" to the scorer at the end of each day that launching was initiated. Film
turn-in time for task finishers must be recorded.
h. Processed film and landing cards shall be available for inspection by all Contestants.
6.13 The Competition Director shall cancel operations and declare a no-contest day if obviously unfavorable weather or
other circumstances make fair competition impossible.
6.14 Radio transmission shall be confined to position reports, crew instructions, pilot-crew relays, start/finish
communications, surface conditions and matters of safety. Reports or discussions on soaring conditions or task information
are prohibited. Pilot/crew communications on the gate frequency are strongly discouraged and subject to penalty by the
Competition Director. Such communications on the gate frequency are only justified by safety reasons.
6.15 Landouts
a. Contestants who land out shall promptly call Championship Headquarters giving all information specified on
the landing card and, for POST, the intended destination prior to landing. After pilot and crew are together,
another call shall be made. Calls can be made by radio if receipt by Championship Headquarters is
acknowledged.
b. Constructive landout - In lieu of an actual landout, a Contestant may receive credit for a landing at any
non task turnpoint (listed in the turnpoint book) provided valid flight documentation procedures are
performed at the turnpoint.
c. The Contestant shall record the name, address, and telephone number of a witness (the Contestant's crew or
family member are not acceptable witnesses). The Contestant will also take one or more pictures with the
turnpoint camera which clearly show, prior to disassembly, the 1-26's contest number against a background of
identifiable landmark(s). This picture will be used to verify landing claim in the event no witnesses were
present or contact with declared witnesses cannot be made. The Contestant should also record the latitude
and longitude of the landing location as indicated by available navigation aid(s) (GPS or current chart).
6.16 Safety
a. All thermalling within 3 miles of the gate and within 1 mile of turnpoints shall be to the left.
b. Contestants are expected to comply with FARs applicable to non transponder equipped aircraft operating under
Visual Flight Rules.
7.0 SCORING
7.1 Subsequent to an outlanding the pilot shall pinpoint the landing site on a sectional chart for the scorer, when the
landing card is turned in. Flight claims are subject to verification.
7.2 Score sheets shall be prepared which include: daily and cumulative scores, rank all Contestants, penalties, speeds
and distances. The daily score sheets should also contain separate ranking and scores for all the award categories in Rule 8.1.
7.3 Credited flight distance shall be measured as follows.
a. Uncompleted Assigned Speed Task: From the Championship site through each properly claimed and identified
turnpoint to the terminal point of the uncompleted leg, minus the distance from the landing point to the
terminal point. If the latter distance is greater than the uncompleted leg, distance credited is the sum of
the lengths of all the legs completed in proper sequence.
b. Uncompleted POST task: Same as Uncompleted Assigned Speed Task except the terminal point shall be the next
turnpoint as declared on the contestant's landing card. In no case shall the credited distance be less than
the sum of the claimed and properly identified turnpoints.
7.4 Credited flight distance shall be determined by using Great Circle calculations, based on a spherical Earth radius of
3958.7559 statute miles. Calculations shall be performed with enough precision to ensure distances are correct to within 0.1
statute mile. This normally requires a minimum of 8 digit accuracy.
7.5 Final Entrant scores shall be the total of the daily points earned by that Entrant.
Final Team Entrant scores shall be the total of the daily points earned by the Team Entrant members flying a particular 1-26.
If more than one Team Entrant member competes on the same day, the best performance shall be credited.
7.6 Final score ties are resolved against the Entrant with the lowest score on any Contest Day.
7.7 Scoring Nomenclature
Dt - Length of an Assigned Speed Task in statute miles
D - A Contestant's credited flight distance
Db - Best Achieved distance(maximum of all D)
DVb - Distance achieved by the maximum speed finisher (POST Only)
MTD - Minimum task distance set by the Competition Director (POSTonly)
MTT - Minimum task time set by the Competition Director (POST only)
Finisher - A Contestant with a completed task, provided that for a POST task the scored distance equals or exceeds
the MTD
T - A finisher's elapsed time in hours from the finisher's official start time to the finisher's finish time, but not
less than the MTT for a POST
V - A finisher's speed (V=D/T)
Vb - The maximum speed (V) of a finisher
Vs - The minimum speed (V) of a finisher
DNC - A Contestant who Did Not Compete. Such a Contestant receives zero points for the day and are not considered to
have attempted the task (see 7.12)
7.8 Scoring Equations - Assigned Speed Task (AST)
a. Score for finishers: Score = 1000 x V/Vb
b. Score for non-finishers when there is at least one finisher: Score = .99 x (1000 x Vs/Vb) x D/Dt
c. Score if there are no finishers: Score = 1000 x D/Db
7.9 Scoring Equations - Pilot Option Speed Task (POST)
a. If more than 8 turnpoints are used on a POST, the Contestant's credited distance shall be no greater than
that accumulated with the first 8 turnpoints.
b. Score for finishers: Score = 1000 x V/Vb
c. Score for non finishers when there is at least one finisher: Score = .95 x (1000 x Vs/Vb) x min(1, D/DVb).
d. Score if there are no finishers: Score = 1000 x D/Db
7.10 Score computations
a. Landing point coordinates are taken from current U.S. sectional charts or from GPS coordinates provided by
the pilot.
b. Task leg distances and achieved distances are rounded to the nearest 0.1 statute mile.
c. Times are recorded to the nearest second.
d. Full mathematical precision shall be carried through all calculation steps. Daily scores shall be rounded to
the nearest whole number of points as the final calculation step.
7.11 Penalties
a. If one team pilot has earned points in one entry (a particular 1-26) on more than 70% of the contest days,
then all points earned by this pilot on those days in which the 70% rule was exceeded shall be deducted from
the Entrant's final score.
b. If a Contestant flies a prohibited leg on a POST, the Contestant shall be scored as landing at the last
turnpoint preceding the prohibited leg.
c. A Contestant who lacks a required Valid Start Photo shall be scored as DNC.
d. Turnpoint photo infractions (applied after computations in 7.8 and 7.9):
AST and POST: Target is eligible and identifiable but photo is taken between following ranges from the
turnpoint:
If the target is obscured, but the photo otherwise shows the contestant to be within 2 miles of the turnpoint,
a penalty assessment of 25 points shall be added to any other applicable penalty.
AST: If target is not eligible, identifiable, or photo is taken beyond 2 miles from the turnpoint, score
shall be computed as if a landing were made at the previous turnpoint.
POST: If target is not eligible, identifiable, or photo is taken beyond 2 miles from the turnpoint, score
shall be computed as if the turnpoint were not used. If a resulting not-actually-flown replacement leg is a
prohibited leg, the Contestant shall be scored as landing at the last turnpoint preceding the prohibited leg.
e. Unsafe flying or unsportsmanlike conduct shall be penalized as determined by the Competition Director.
f. Failure to turn in film and landing card within an hour of finishing . . . 50 point penalty.
g. Failure to comply with the landing time interval (6.11i) . . . 50 point penalty.
h. For a POST task finisher who has a credited distance of less than the minimum distance set by the Competition
Director, the Contestant's task shall be scored for distance only.
I. A daily penalty cannot be greater than the Contestant's daily score (i.e. cannot result in a daily score less
than zero).
7.12 A "Contest Day" is a day on which every CONTESTANT is given an opportunity to fly and the average credited flight
distance (see Rule 7.3) of the top third of the CONTESTANTS attempting the task (ordered by distance, not score) is at least
30 statute miles. Attempting the task means achieving a credited flight distance greater than zero miles.
