The league is open to both PG’s and HG’s and will be broken down into categories. For those of you who haven't attended a league meet, the league is very low-key and very informal. The league is also designed as an introduction for pilots that would like to fly in sanctioned competitions. Although the league environment is much more relaxed than a sanctioned competition, it will still mirror the scoring and task setting formats used in them. Whether you're a seasoned pilot who just wants to maintain and/or hone skills, or a newer pilot wanting to learn the ropes, the league has something for everyone.

One feature that I'll be using is publishing results using Leonardo. If you haven't yet seen this in action, it's sweet. You can view your track log in 2-D, 3-D, animate your flight, view it in Google Earth, animate it in Google Earth, and compare your flight with others using all these features. I really can't describe it and do it justice, you'll need to check it out for yourself. Click on the results link to see the results of some of our tasks. Use the checkboxes to the left of the pilot names to select the flights you want to see or compare, and then check out the icon options to the right and you'll get the hang of it.

Check the calendar for the 2009 season, and check the news section for updates.

To participate in the league, follow these steps:

• Go to the REGISTER section of the website to download the necessary forms and get technical info.
• Next, go to the RULES section for league parameters.
• Once I've received and processed your registration I will issue you a pilot ID and post it on the PILOT ID page. Check to see that you've been added. I will email all registered participants with meet details prior to each meet.
• That's pretty much it. Check your email, the CALENDAR and NEWS page, and show up at the next meet.
