Pacific Cup

Task 1

[Pilot Declared Goal / PDG]

It is the game that pilots declares his or her goal before their takeoff, and they drop the marker off approaching. They need to read the direction and speed of wind with map accurately.

Task 2

[Hesitation Waltz/ HWZ]

Balloons fly to the goal which the Event Director ordered. It is usually 4 to 6 km away from the goal. The pilots drop the marker toward the center of the target and the winner who made the nearest gets 1000 points. This is very similar to Judge Declared Goal / JDG. The difference between HWZ and JDG is that there are plural targets in HWZ and pilots need to decide one target from them.

Fiesta

We will announce if it is on or not later.
