Hike and Fly
What do we want ?
Protecting pilots from themselves by allowing them to compete on a more even playing field.
Raising competitive spirit without pushing pilots over their own limits.
Raising competitive spirit without pushing pilots over their own limits.
How do we achieve that ?
By playing against pilots of your world, a world where, having the edge is not taking more risk because it is the only leverage left against way more skilled pilots.
Example:
Every pilot gets a ranking level, and every event a field level wich is the average of all participating pilots ranks.
The two categories are defined by rank either above (cat 1) or below (cat 2) field average level.
Event level can also be indexed by weather conditions, task can be adapted to each categories.
Pilot rank can be indexed by participation recurrence, accident/incident, DNF, penalty, number of people of higher rank beaten or the number of lower ranked pilot who beat you, level/quantity of competition achieved without incident…
