DUDI Cup 2022/2023
We are happy to annouce that the DUDI Cup is back!
We have now a short race until 28 Feb 2023 but we will have it yearly from now on!
The DUDI Cup has been founded by the German Federal Balloon Commission and the German Free Balloon Sports Association and is continued by the Ballooning Commission of North-Rhine Westfalia.
The competition lasts from 15 December 2022 to 28 February 2023 and determines a winner from a combination ranking. The take-off for the flights must take place within the EASA member states.
The pilots must compete in two scoring categories (endurance flight and long-distance flight) and score a good combination. The best flight in each category will receive 1,000 points and the flights of the other pilots will receive a percentage deduction. The scoring is done in 2 categories, Open-League and A-League. The A-League is limited to balloons of group A, VFR-day and max. 9500ft AMSL.
Organizer: Freiballonkommission im Aeroclub NRW e. V.
