Final Results for SWSA 2014-15 F3F Winter League

Well this league has built in momentum all season and the final round saved the best to last. With Simon taking a small lead into the final round with a few people in with a shout of catching him

With wind on the Wrecker with just a hint of north in it to make a little more technical the scene was set for an epic competition. The course was quickly up and Ron Broughton got us under way into a competition that turned in to 17 round classic.

With 17 rounds I haven't got the time to do a blow by blow account but below are all the round winners with their times:

Round 1               Martin Newnham            35:05

Round 2               Simon Thornton               34.09

Round 3               Simon Thornton               34:29

Round 4               Simon Thornton               31:63

Round 5               Joel West                            34:88

Round 6               Martin Newnham            34:82

Round 7               Joel West                            33:15

Round 8               Joel West                            32:68

Round 9               Mark Abbotts                   32:23

Round 10             Joel West                            31:60

Round 11             Martin Newnham            34:37

Round 12             Simon Thornton               34:92

Round 13             Graeme Mahoney           35:59

Round 14             Joel West                            36:01

Round 15             Joel West                            35:12

Round 16             Simon Thornton               37:53

Round 17             Joel West                            36:59

There were quite few highlights Joel's 31:60 which might be the fastest time for the league flown with his Freestyler with traditional reversals.  Simon's 31:63 using his Shinto flying an EM style, the Reversal V's EM styles argument rolls on!  

John Treble breaking his PB three times and lowering it to38:38. I was not sure if Graeme 35:59 was a PB but his face was picture after flying it!   

Thanks to everyone helping today. Graeme doing Buzzer supermo, Tony Livingstone going banker and Clayton help me out in the centre all day, plus Ron Broughton who after modifying his plane sat on base B and Buzzed all day.

Well the one person who could really threaten Simons grip on the Winter League title was Joel West and had to win the day and put enough point's between himself and Simon to snatch the trophy.

After 17 round which gave us two discards the eventual winner to the fascinating battle was Joel West  with a total of 14,659.65 points. Simon was second with 14,386.82 and Martin Third with 14,124.54 points respectively.   

Would Joel's 272.85 points from this round be enough to win the Title?

The SWSA F3F Winter league Champion for 2014-15 is Simon Thornton, with Joel West in Second spot and Greg Dakin in Third.

How close was it between first and second, believe it or not 0.84 of a point.  

It doesn't come much tighter than that! Thanks to everyone supporting the events and see you all soon

Final Round SWSA 2014-15 F3F Winter League

Hi All

This Sunday 15 March will be the fifth and final round of the SWSA F3F winter league. I will make a call Friday if the competition is on and if so more details of meeting times.

If I can have entries by Saturday I would be grateful as it helps with or organising the flying order and get things running on the day. However, if you wake up Sunday morning and decide at the last minute you want to fly you will more than welcome, but you might find yourself early in the flying order!

If you are thinking about having a go in F3F the winter league is a great place to start, it's all pretty informal and don't worry if you haven't got the latest state of the art carbon fibre dream machine to have a go.  Sure it nice to have but it is more important that you have a go at standing in the centre of a course and trying to fly a kilometre as fast as you can with what ever plane you have got.  Better to find out flying a foamie that F3F is for you than spending thousands only to find out you have made an expensive mistake!

The current league positions are below but with the discard kicking if we fily on Sunday it could make it very interesting!
