The 2012 World Gliding Championship at Uvalde TX updated Control Point files are now posted on John Leibacher's Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange website here. They were updated on April 28th, 2012. The control points are different from those used previously at Uvalde. Please note that the only points included in the Control Point file are those points that will be used for scoring.

There will be other files released that will show landing points but they are currently under review and will be updated and posted as soon as possible. The airspace file is not yet finalized and will also be posted as soon as possible.

Thanks to the folks at Southwest Texas Junior College, Uvalde TX campus, and their IT department, both hardwired and wireless internet service will be available to teams and their crews for the contest. Plans are well underway to deploy a wireless environment that will cover all areas of Garner Field where contest operations will be occurring, the launch lines, team huts, trailer parking and command headquarters areas. Hard point connections will be available in the dorm rooms on the campus. This large internet infrastructure investment by the Southwest Texas Junior College Uvalde Campus will allow this World Gliding Championship to be run "on the net". Teams will have direct access to internal websites with weather information, schedules, command center communications and log drop-off areas.

Contest management has worked out an agreement with Hawke Tracking LLC (Mark Hawkings) to allow on-line tracking with SPOT devices through the wgc2012uvalde.com website. Information is available to Pilots through their on-line entry account under the logger section.

The management team of the WGC 2012 Uvalde TX is asking that all pilots review their email for an invitation to the on-line Contestant Center Area section of the website. If you have not received this email invitation you should contact Andrew Dignan at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Pilot & Aircraft Requirements Document revision 2.2 has been release to replace to revision 2.1. The first official Bulletin #1 has also been added. Both documents can be download from the Documents and Downloads page.
