competition split three phases During first phase fliers flew six rounds front three sets five judges Since normalizing scores done accordance FAI rules fliers could tell relative position after third sixth rounds allowed fliers exposed judges once twice respectively best four six scores used determine placing Afterthe sixth round top 10 fliers flew four semifinal rounds front two sets seven judges

competition split three phases During first phase fliers flew six rounds front three sets five judges Since normalizing scores done accordance FAI rules fliers could tell relative position after third sixth rounds allowed fliers exposed judges once twice respectively best four six scores used determine placing Afterthe sixth round top 10 fliers flew four semifinal rounds front two sets seven judges

competition split three phases During first phase fliers flew six rounds front three sets five judges Since normalizing scores done accordance FAI rules fliers could tell relative position after third sixth rounds allowed fliers exposed judges once twice respectively best four six scores used determine placing Afterthe sixth round top 10 fliers flew four semifinal rounds front two sets seven judges
