The DDSC Easter Regatta is a low profile fun event designed to introduce inexperienced pilots to competition flying, while still making it interesting for the experienced pilots.

Handicaps are based on the GFA unballasted list and then adjusted with a pilot factor based on cross Country and comp experience.

Placegetter - International Comps 1.20
Competitor - International Comps 1.15
Placegetter - Aust Nationals 1.10
Competitor - Aust Nationals 1.05
Placegetter - State Comp 1.00
Competitor - State Comp 0.95
Competitor - Regatta 0.90
No Comp Experience - 300XC 0.80
No/Little XC Experience 0.70

Tasks are set to suit the higher performance pilots and then one or more turn points have variable diameters calculated from the adjusted handicap for each pilot.

We use a Grans Prix style start and the intention is that the first glider to return is the winner.

Handicaps are adjusted daily based on the results of the day.
