The first briefing of this competition is over. Pilots received assigned area tasks with 3 areas. There is a pretty solid chance to fly today. The low pressure center is located in Hungary but it should be filling up in next few days. There is a little chance for percipitation for Nitra area today. Tomorrow´s briefing will be at 9:30 so the forbidden areas and competition procedures can be explained well enough.
