Hey Davis,
A snip from the Comp Manual.
9.2 Team Selection Process
a) The relevant National Ladder for the purpose of team selection is calculated to include all
Australian sanctioned competitions which have the last scheduled competition flying day finishing
3 calendar months prior to the official starting date of the International competition.
b) In performing this interim calculation, devaluation of competition ladder points from prior seasons
will only be done if the corresponding competition in the current season has been concluded at
the time the calculation is being performed. (Eg. Aust Open would be a corresponding competition
even if at different venue and/or time of year.)
c) The size of the team is specified by the Organiser of the International Competition.
d) Gender is not considered unless gender requirements are not fulfilled. In such circumstances the
committee shall determine the team composition.
e) All team positions are secure except for the last male and last female position, which are
challengeable by eligible pilots under exceptional circumstances.
f) Pilots eligible for team selection and pilots eligible to challenge for a team position are specified in
the table in Section 9.2.3.
g) Any requirements for reserve pilots shall not be considered in determining the last challengeable
position. Any reserve positions will be filled from the relevant National Ladder, in accordance with
the procedures laid down in this Manual and is also subject to challenge in exceptional
circumstances.
h) The initial nomination of teams shall occur as soon as possible after the calculation of the relevant
National Ladder, as described above or three months prior to the competition starting date, which
ever is latest.
i) The Competition Committee shall determine the dates by which a final team selection is to be
made and the timetable for the selection process shall be drawn up well in advance so that all
pilots are aware of the timing of any decisions.
j) All pilots selected as part of any team or squad are required to enter a written agreement
(contract) with the HGFA that, amongst other things, requires them to abide by any decisions of
the Team Selection Panel.
k) The selected team for the most recent FAI World Championship remains the Australian Team until
the next team is selected, for promotional, sponsorship and media purposes.
9.2.1 Hang Gliding
Hang Gliding team selection will be based on the Hang Gliding National Ladder as described in 7.0 and
timing of calculation as per 9.2
