MGASA Yahoo mail group.
- If your name is in this
list and you have no intention of going to Slovakia in 2019, kindly make
this known
no later than midnight 23 September 2018 on the MGASA Yahoo mail group so
that other pilots can be given the chance to compete in this team trial.

During 2018, three team qualifier events,
as published in the 2018 MGASA event calendar and on the SAMAA website, were
held as follows:-
- Team Qualifier 1 - MGASA
Nationals - BOMAC, Paarl, 27 Apr - 1 May 2018
- Team Qualifier 2 - GEMS,
Bapsfontein, 10 Jun 2018
- Team Qualifier 3 -
Silverton Gliding Club, 19 Aug 2018
Results from these three events were used
in the determination of the 10 pilots invited to the team trial.
The best score for each pilot was used to
determine the team trial standings. This score was normalised to 1000
points for ease of comparison. The top 10 scoring pilots have been invited to
the team trials.
The rules set out on the MGASA blog were
used - see those rules here - http://mgasa.blogspot.com/2011/03/qualification-of-national-rc-glider.html.
