Paragliding Rules version 21 - protest uphelp and rule change rejected.

The PCC has received significant objection to the changes to the rules proposed in Rules v21 and therefore this rule change has been rejected.

Paragliding Competition Rules - change to NZPRS / WPRS formula - pending.

The paragliding competition rules have been updated to version 21.

The only change is to section 4.4.3.1 which reduces the number of NZPRS points that are available to pilots for flying nominated overseas FAI sanction competitions.

This rules are available for comment/objection until 22nd September 2018, at which point they will become official.
