4.29.3  Tasks shall, as far as practicable, conform to the following guidelines in standard championships:\\
\\

*For Microlight aircraft classes AL, WL WF and GL*
    flown.

C  Precision tasks: 15% of the total value of the tasks flown.\\
\\

*For Paramotor aircraft classes PF and PL*
(added after text above):

{color:#ff0000}4.29.4 Final scores for a paramotor championship (classes PF and PL) are calculated by normalizing the points according to the following ratios:{color}

{color:#ff0000}Normalize the total score of the Precision tasks to a maximum of 3000 points.{color}
Economy tasks 33%

Precision tasks 33%\\
\\

The points awarded at AOPC2017 were heavily weighted towards precision tasks.\\
\\

At AOPC2017:
This ratio is clearly far outside of the CIMA S10 recommendation for task balance at classic competitions, and may have significantly disadvantaged pilots that have selected their equipment optimized for economy or navigation. 

This proposal is made out of concern that a similar imbalance might occur 2018 World Paramotor Championships, which will be hosted on the same site by the same organization team, which would contravene CIMA S10 guidelines and the spirit of fair and balanced competition that is the objective of classic style competitions.\\
\\

I propose to solve this problem with this amendment to S10 to be approved by the CIMA Plenary. For example, if many precision tasks are flown at a classic championship, you will normalize the total of that score to a maximum of 3000 points, so do not affect the results of other Navigation or Economy tasks.\\
