Distance Handicapped Tasking
This competition intends to use Distance Handicapped Tasking (DHT). DHT is a tasking system that allows gliders of different performance to compete fairly by adjusting task distances based on glider handicaps. This means that lower performance gliders fly a modified racing task with shorter distances compared to higher performance gliders.
