There were both, a Team Managers’ meeting and a timekeepers’ meeting, all of which attended by the Jury. Most timekeepers were experienced with freeflight and very dedicated to their tasks. As it was not possible providing all 21 teams any time with one pair of timekeepers, organisation made use of 3.A.3.6 (Indoor Free Flight Organisers Guide): “Alternatively all timekeepers may be kept in a central pool and called forward as required for each competitor as he has been processed ready for flight.” That caused immediately a protest of the French Team Manager which was rejected by the Jury referring to the wording of SC4 Vol F1 Annex 3. After some grumbling of a few competitors at the beginning timekeeping went smoothly and correctly during the whole event and at the end, competitors said goodbye with a thankful applause. As the Contest Director was first time in that duty, the right places for the measurement systems for checking of models and rubber weight had to be determined with help of the Jury, basing of the experiences in the past, and the systems had to be adjusted. After that, they enabled a good work flow. The announcement system had some difficulties to be heard everywhere in the huge hall but caused no serious misunderstandings.
