TOC 1999, Thursday's Results

Thursday, October 21st, 6:30 p.m.
The freestyle scores were posted late this afternoon, they appear with the end-of-day standings below. Christophe Paysant-LeRoux again won the free round. His Cap 232 is literally thrown around the sky by the DA-150. Without a doubt, he has the best vertical performace here and he uses it well in his free.

Hsin-Hsu Chen's engine quit as he began the takeoff roll for his freestyle, resulting in a zero for the round.

While waiting for the scores at the end of the day, Bill Hempel and crew put up Bill's huge, 50% Edge 540. Impressive to say the least!

Thursday, October 21st, 3:45 p.m.

Scores are in for the known round today. Jason Shulman suffered a dead-stick on his spin, his idle was set too low, which explains his low score for the round. Remember, one of each type of round will be tossed out, which is done on a round-by-round basis and is reflected in the scores below.

Freestyle is under way now. Things are heating up with somewhat more daring frees than yesterday. Each year they step it up... this is no exception. The power available from the new breed of engines, such as the DA-150, is nothing short of amazing. Jason Shulman's free includes a spin...UP...with his DA-150 powered G-202!!!

Scores through the known appear below. The free, and updated standings for the day, should be posted later this afternoon.

Thursday, October 21st, 12:00 p.m.

The scores for Wednesday's freestyle were posted this morning. All of the days scores have also had their weighting" applied to them (the unknown being worth more than the known, etc). The days final scores and standings appear on Wednesday's report.

This morning's unknown is complete, with about half of the known completed before the lunch break. Again, perfect weather... couldn't ask for more. Scores for the unknown appear below.
