VF38 results

All score sheets have been submitted and the scores are now published! Congratulations to our round winner who submitted a superb freestyle run, jam packed full of flowing combos and style.

There was some hot competition in the top half of the placings, with less than 10 points (normalised score) between the first and sixth place getters. Some more close competition in the second half of the rankings, and it's great to see some new faces throwing their hat into the ring.

Sincere thanks to everyone who entered, and all who've helped produce an amazing prize pool. Some of you were flying in very challenging conditions, but you didn't let that hold you back from entering. Your effort is acknowledged and appreciated - good stuff!

Thanks to everyone who entered - good luck!

This round marks a major change in the way that VF video entries are submitted. We are moving away from direct uploads with a 30MB size limit, and instead asking entrants to upload their video to YouTube with the visibility set to Unlisted. Visit the How to enter page for more details. Now is also a great time to also revisit the Competition rules, Hints and tips, and FAQ pages since they've all been revised to cover submission process changes.

Finally, sincere thanks to our talented artist Rufus for his superb VF38 promotional art!
