Change of Eindhoven as startpoint
Due to airspace restictions within the Eindhoven CTR and TMA, the Eindhoven startpoint (Low Turbo's and Self Launchers) as published in the contest rules has changed to a point approximately 30 km east of Eindhoven.
The coordinates of the new start point are 51 24,30 N, 005 49.00 E
The start area is defined as a beercan centered around the starting point with a radius of 1 km and a maximum altitude of 900m AMSL.
Contest flights starting within this beercan are regarded valid, without any credit penalty (i.e. no initial displacement cost and no launch costs).
This new starting point must be used for all displacement calculations for Low Turbo's and Self Launchers. The coordinates of the old start point (Eindhoven glider strip) are no longer relevant for Euroglide.

What a great start of the Euroglide 2014!
After the traditional breakfast at Eindhoven most teams start rigging the gliders, and after the briefing at 10:00 am all gliders were moved to the grid. At 11:20am the Euroglide 2014 was a GO at Malden, where the first (gliders) class started the competition. All other classes followed at Venlo and Eindhoven. Today all of the teams flew great distances, as shown on the position reports. GO Teams! On request from the contest officials: please report your position as soon as possible after landing, if possible before 9:00pm. This way we don’t have to chase teams.
