[LASS Soaring] Mid-Am Champs, Day One Results

[Ben Wilson]

20 pilots today (yay for LSF V contests!).  Got started a little on the 
late side, but we still flew five rounds with 4-man groups. 10 minutes 
for 4 rounds and there was a 12 minute in the middle somewhere.  The 
small groups made the air hard to read and the bloodshed was often 
brutal!  One-pop-off-per-day rule was announced.  Scores were flight 
time plus landing, then normalized, making the landing points equivalent 
to flighttimes!  Fairly steady winds all day culminating in a downpour 
right in the middle of the last group, last round.  The pilots came down 
and the flight was re-flown afterwards.   Scott Shaw who was sitting 
pretty in that last round popped off for the second time that day and 
found his chances blown.  Rob Glover, Jon Stone and Paul Siegel rounded 
out the group, and Rob and Jon marked each other - but Paul Siegel was 
determined to be a contrarian!  In the end, Rob and Jon would get most 
of their time - but Paul would leave more than two minutes on the clock, 
bumping him out of the wood.

Rob Glover dominated all day with his Supra while Todd Jurhs took top 
Sportsman honors!
