If Davey doesn't show up by the end of the month (he's a busy Dude y'know), I'll do the neccessary in terms of collating and getting the scores in etc, and use Youtube to host.

clears throat.....

Is this solely a 2 line thing?

In the spirit of inclusiveability might one be allowed to dabble with 4? :cool:

I'd be up for that, it enhances the free nature of the competition... but the problem is that some 2-line people (ie me) would find it difficult to mark a 4-line performance, since we (I) don't know how difficult the manouvres are.

Having said that, I feel that marking should be based on how beautiful, structured and controlled the flying is rather than how difficult it is. Knowing how original the flying is might be more difficult for a dual-line flyer, and novel flying is important.

Either way, I don't see why not, maybe I'll learn something about the dark art.

Well, I've got an assignment to get out of the way by the end of this week, then I've a clear spell (ish) over Easter. Soooo... Probably means you'll see something official(tm) at the beginning of April.

Say, sometime around April Flew Day...
