Paragliding XC
What went wrong ?
The amount of XC compétition all across the world is booming. There are dozens of very good quality competition organised across the world every years. Yet we are having more and more trouble finding organisers who will bid for CAT1 because the framework is way harder to sustain. The problem is, thoses championship are not better quality wise and from a pilot perspective than any other good event (Bassano, Spanish League, German open...). If there is no additional value, I wonder who benefit theses additional constraint applyed to the organisation ? Where does the money go ?
What would you propose ?
I believe the organisational framework could be polished a little bit so there is less stress applyed on the organisers shoulder. Steward are not mandarory by FAI Laws. Most comps go (much better) without any. 3 jury members on site is a complete overkill. 1 committed juror who is not linked to the top décision of the institution is way enough. The final balance (assets) of CAT1 event should be detailled and public.
