h3. What is an elective team?
Elective Teams are a way for possible sponsors or groups of pilots who want to declare their social community, to group together, and thus bring another level of competition.
So besides manufacturer teams, "Guinness Beer Funs", or "Rainbow Children" are all possible. The total of three best pilots in each elective team in each event is scored in the [WLC General scoring|WLC Results 2012] alongside the individual and national scores.
See the [elective teams|cimaContinentalCup:WLC Elective Teams] page

* Pilots are invited by the [elective team|cimaContinentalCup:WLC Elective Teams] 'owner' to be in their team. * Pilots can be a member of an unlimited number of elective teams, but can only be in *one* team at each event, therefore organizers must get pilots to declare which elective team they are in (if any) before the first task in each event. * Pilots cannot change elective team after the first task in an event, but they can switch teams between events. * Organizers are encouraged to produce an elective team scoring for each event. * Organizers MUST at least provide the list of who was in which team at the event so the [WLC general scoring|WLC Results 2012] can be updated correctly.
