Model processing was carried out efficiently in the gymnasium of the school, with adequate space for each competitor of a 9-man national team to be handled at one time. Weather on the official practice days was good and this continued for the competitions: the wind was generally light and it was hot and dry. The first round started at 8.30am each day and flying continued through the day, with just a break for lunch. The prevalent thermal activity during this time meant that large fly-offs resulted (28 in F1A, 16 F1B, 24 F1C) but not so large as to stretch the resources of the organisation except for the logistics problems in rapid arranging of the larger fly-off rounds. A difficulty that arose was the number of fly-off rounds needed to produce a result, particularly in F1C, and consequent lack of time during the evening. The F1C fly-off was concluded on the morning of the following day, the F1B competition day. This final round, between two USSR flyers, was repeated by Jury decision when it appeared that there had been a timekeeping problem. The repeated round gave the same result as before but without any doubt about it being a good sporting result. Timekeeping and field organisation had been to a very high standard throughout the event.
