EMC 2010 Intranet

The championships are now over, congratulations to the winners!

Tracks online

Jose Luis Esteban has improved his experimental track review system from last year and the tracks from all competition navigation flights are available at /trackreview/flights.html

To get the best out of it, especially how to use the 'sliders' in Google Earth to see tracks, gates and turnpoints, please carefully read the instructions.

About this intranet

The intranet system deployed at WPC 2009 and now this championship have succesfully demonstrated that it is far more effecient and environmentally friendly to publish all information pertaining to the championship online including task briefs.

The organization creates very little physical printed output except stuff which has to be issued to pilots in quarantine.

An intranet is a sort of private website operated at the championship airfield so it is not subject to the unreliabilities and delays of the internet, thus making the very latest information always instantly available, and it is automatically mirrored to the online site as soon as possible.

For best results, every team is encouraged to come to the championship with a wireless enabled laptop AND a printer, they may find themselves at a disadvantage if they don't.

The whole system relies on very reliable wireless connectivity througout the championship site.  While this was not a problem at WPC2009 there were issues at EMC 2010 and is something future organizers must carefully research in advance.
