Delboy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks lads, much appreciated. Dkj has been superb this year again and Watties hen is a bit special. Thanks Brian, you are correct m8, as always.I had a very satisfying season last year as I was one of only two in the whole of Scotland to return their clock at every race. I was beaten to win the whole Snfc averages by 1.3 yards at the Alencon disaster as I was doing 398.7 ypm lol.Im not sure if all the strains and stresses are worth it tbh, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would add all your Flying times and all your distances to give you a seasons average velocity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) Derek is it not the case that its your combined flying time that gets the average, if so then the vel you do from Alencon has no bearing as long as you have your clock read. You would add all your Flying times and all your distances to give you a seasons average velocity Your velocity must be 400ypm or over to qualify for an average Bobby, or youd get guys returning their clock a week after the race .

Henrik Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Your velocity must be 400ypm or over to qualify for an average Bobby, or youd get guys returning their clock a week after the race .I thought it was over the 6 races Del, if you returned your clock after a week then it would drop below the 400 for the 6 races but think if its over the 400 over the 6 races then it would be ok, after all the average is worked out as your velocity of the combined time and distance, not the sum of the 6 race velocities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 i know rules are rules dell but harsh to say the least m8 The thing is Walter, the race was delayed a few days so we lost light but the normal hours of darkness applied. I think if there arent 10% of the convoy timed in then they should lower the cut off vel of 400ypm to 300ypm, omo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrik Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 If race closes at 400 yards and you are below that you cannot make the resultThe "Race" for averages is the sum total of the distance flown over seven races divided by the time taken to fly the said races, individual velocities do not or should not enter the equation.
