One more month to go

In one month, the Championships will begin, and we can’t wait to welcome you all to Tábor soon!

In the meantime, here are a few important updates and reminders:

The Selfbriefing has been published in the Documents section. Please familiarize yourself with it before arrival.

Please continue to book slots for scrutineering and registration. Booking a slot for technical inspection is mandatory! Also, please continue to upload your documents to the online entry form, as this will greatly speed up the registration process. Additionally, please ensure you update your accommodation details in the entry form to accurately indicate whether you will be staying at the campsite, as we will be assigning space based on this information.

Be aware of the requirement for strobe lights on all competing sailplanes. Make sure that your strobe lights comply with Annex A 4.1.1d.

Following IGC guidance, we will be much stricter with enforcing Annex A requirements for contest numbers. Please ensure that your contest number is in a “plain block style with a single color that contrasts strongly with the sailplane’s background color.” Futhemore, they need to be at least 30 cm in height. During the EGC and JWGC, many contest numbers did not follow this rule, and this year, gliders that do not comply with this rule will not be able to complete the technical acceptance check and thus will not be allowed to compete until the contest number has been modified to comply with Annex A. All fonts that are not simple and clear will be deemed in violation of this rule; furthermore, contest numbers where only the outline or shadowing of the letters are shown are also not compliant. If in doubt, email a photo of your contest number to info@wgc2025.cz and we can confirm if you contest number will be accepted.

About a week before training period begins, we will be sending you more arrival instructions and additional updates.
