What do we want ?
Official CIVL Ranking of Competition Organizers and Meet Directors - based on participants votes.
How do we achieve that ?
Three days after the competition ends, all participants receive an email with a link to the voting page.
The page contains two simple 5-star-rating polls - one for the Competition Organizer and one for the Meet Director.
Votes are verified but remain anonymous.
The ranking results are public and serve an informative purpose.

Easy to build. Good idea. Maybe linked to Malin's more ambitious idea : https://gagglereport.org/node/17
The data you propose to gather can serve evaluation of further events. I'm not sure I see CIVL doing it. Be we definitely could.

It's not really related to Malin's idea, except that it's also voting-based - something I'd like to see used more often.

Have you had read in the comments from Malin's proposal? I have extended the idea and intend that it would have a feedback function. Does this meet what you were looking for? The site below has completely fictitious data and is a demo of what's possible.

Pilot Competition Feedback Design Proposal
This design focuses on creating a quick, intuitive, and comprehensive feedback form to capture pilot experiences across key operational and technical aspects of a flying competition.
I. Overview and UX Principles
The form should be accessible directly from the competition's main listing or detail page after the competition date has passed (or for pilots logged in as attendees).
Speed: Use star ratings and sliders for quick input.
Actionability: Group feedback into distinct, measurable categories.
Inclusivity: Allow for anonymous submission to encourage honesty.
II. Proposed Feedback Sections
Section 1: Overall Experience (Required)
Element
Input Type
Rationale
Overall Competition Rating
5-Star Rating (0-5)
Standard, easy-to-digest metric for total satisfaction.
Likelihood to Recommend (NPS)
Slider (0 - 10)
Measures loyalty and advocacy. 0=Not at all, 10=Definitely.
Pilot Experience Level
Dropdown/Radio Group
Contextual data: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert. Helps weigh the feedback.
Section 2: Category-Specific Ratings (Required)
Use a 5-point scale (1=Poor, 5=Excellent) for these critical areas. Each rating should be immediately followed by an optional, small text field for specific comments related to that category.
Category
Description and Focus
Input Type
Safety & Organization
Focus on flight safety briefings, rescue procedures, and overall organizational flow.
5-Point Rating + Comment Box
Task Setting & Fairness
Focus on task selection, objective clarity, and scoring impartiality.
5-Point Rating + Comment Box
Logistics & Facilities
Focus on transport (takeoff/retrieve), accommodations/camping, and briefing locations.
5-Point Rating + Comment Box
Atmosphere & Social
Focus on the general vibe, social events, and communication from the event team.
5-Point Rating + Comment Box
Section 3: Qualitative Feedback (Required)
Two open-ended text fields allow pilots to express nuanced opinions. Encourage brevity (e.g., max 300 words).
What worked exceptionally well?
Prompt: "What was the highlight of the event, or what is one thing the organizers should definitely keep doing?"
What is the single biggest area for improvement?
Prompt: "If you could change one thing to improve the competition next year, what would it be?"
Section 4: Submission

In reply to Have you had read in the… by Louis Tapper
Yes, I've read them. I'll respond there.
Good idea, but I always prefer rating along a 4-star poll rather than a 5-star poll.
In reply to Good idea, but I always… by thomas senac
Can you explain why?
We do it in our country for national competitions.
We get a 50% response in average which seems OK although I would prefer more participation.
Organizers mostly like it as they have some feedback.
We do it on a 5 star system
All quality and safety management systems require user feedback. All issues (Safety, Staff Performance, Site, Logistics etc) could all be included in a simple survey.
In reply to All quality and safety… by christiaandurrant
At the end, that's the Org and MD responsibility.
As a pilot, when selecting my next comp, I want to know if they are capable to deliver all that.
There is a nice consensus on this one. Let's form a working group.
