Reason

As per 2013 Plenary minutes :
18 2) For Slalom Championships there will be a separate Local Regulations and Task Catalogue to be added as a new annex to SC Sec. 10.
A Working Group to be established to do this work consisting of Patrice Girardin, Wojtek Domanski and members of the Sec.-10-sub committee, to produce a draft version for approval by the 2014 meeting.

Safety amendments included in the attached document were discussed during Team Leaders Safety Meeting organised during 2nd World Paramotor Slalom Championship in Legnica, and cover the following topics:

  • penalty for touching the ground
  • penalty for touching the pylon
  • penalty for getting the wing collapse (any size)
  • cancelation of one, worst pilot's result in qualification round
  • extending the slalom course with 30m before the opening gate, and 30m after the closing gate
  • flying twice all tasks in final rounds

The amendments are to refrain competing pilots from too risky and too aggressive flying on the edge (or even over) of flying equipment limits. 
These and analogical amendments were successfully tested during Polish Nationals 2015, and French Nationals 2015.
