The starting list will be made so that there won’t be any frequency collisions during the competition.

7. Noise Check The organisers will not perform regular noise checks before every flight, rather single pilots who seem to be noisy will be checked to see if they conform to the noise rules mentioned in Sporting Code. The noise limit is 94 dB(A).

8. Judges All pilots (both Nordic and F3A) will fly in front of four (4) judges during all rounds. In the F3A class each participating country will be asked to supply one (1) judge that will judge all of the rounds. In the Nordic class the judging panel will consist of four competitors from the F3A-class if the enlisted judge so wishes. Each of the participating countries will be asked to supply one (1) F3A-class competitor to judge in each of the Nordic rounds. It is up to each country to decide if the same F3A-class competitor should judge all Nordic rounds or if they prefer to take rounds. The judging panel for each class will consist of:

F3A: 1 judge from Finland - Esa Eirola 1 judge from Norway - Tom Erik Sorensen 1 judge from Sweden - ?? 1 judge from Denmark – Anders Rasmussen

Nordic: 1 Judge (F3A Pilot or enlisted judge) from Finland 1 Judge (F3A Pilot or enlisted judge) from Norway 1 Judge (F3A Pilot or enlisted judge) from Sweden 1 Judge (F3A Pilot or enlisted judge) from Denmark The judges will have to attend a judges briefing, where they will get the required information. Since the local club are not able to supply helpers to act as scribes each country are required to provide a scribe for their judges for both the FAI and Nordic classes. This can be a pilot or a helper/supporter; this is entirely up to each country.
