Official Statement by the Aerobatic Subcommittee concerning the 2013 APWC final overall rankings
During its first 2 years of existence, the new “Evolution” competition format continuosly needed to be adapted and improved. Due to the lack of other occasions, this tuning was done during the APWC competition season. This was necessary in order to be prepared for a possible jump in quality of acro paragliding competitions in the near future.
The majority of the changes were suggested and requested by pilots. All changes have been discussed and implemented after agreement between the judges and the pilots’ committee.
