All competitions ran very smoothly. The first competition was for F1A and at the end of rounds it soon became apparent that the schedule of 55 minute rounds followed by a 5 minute gap gave inadequate time for moving cards from one end of the 370m line to the other, particularly if a flight had been made at the end of the round, reducing the effective gap to little more than a minute. Timekeepers at the affected poles were instructed that, if required, they could start timing in advance of the arrival of the flight cards.

33 competitors reached the F1A flyoff, the first round of which was flown at 16.30 followed by a second round at 17.30. This left 3 competitors tied and the next flyoff was at 7.20 the following day. Due to a failure of communication two jury members went to the wrong starting line. However, both Breeman and Morrell were at the flyoff, but no jury action was required.

The F1B competition ran smoothly and 41 competitors reached the flyoff. Like F1A, two flyoffs were held in the evening and, remarkably the same number were tied for a 3-person flyoff the following morning. This was attended by the full jury. It was held at the starting line near to the orchard with low level wind away from the orchard, but in flight the models were taken over the orchard. This had little influence on the result as all models disappeared over the trees in similar positions.

The F1C competition proceeded without any problems. 23 flyers reached the flyoff. All was prepared for a start at 16.30 but the wind was about 6 m/s and there was concern that it was picking up dust which would reduce visibility. The start was delayed to 17.30 when the flyoff was flown in good conditions. It left 14 people tied to participate in the flyoff next morning. This was held in very good conditions with very light drift taking models away from the orchard and visible to the timekeepers without needing binoculars.

The winning models were successfully processed after each final flyoff. Random processing had checked more than 20% on each day. One F1B competitor was found to have an underweight model and was disqualified.

Announcements of time in the round and the start and finish signals were clear and audible over the whole line and were to the same consistent standard for the whole competition.

The results were posted online during each competition and could be accessed on personal devices. They were also displayed on a monitor, but this display was in the car park 600m from the line and was difficult to read in the sun. A more physical scoreboard close to the flight line would have been useful.
