VF41 entries released

A superb turnout for VF41 with 20 entries in total! Great to see some new faces in the mix - welcome to our humble competition. :-) Thanks also to all returning entrants for your continued support of VF and continued enthusiasm.

Click through to the current round page to view the entries, and get stuck into the discussion on our VF Facebook group.

Entrants, please download the score sheet for this round, and please familiarise yourself with the competition rules and scoring guidelines before recording your scores. I have elected not to disqualify any entries on the grounds of rule violations. Instead, please use your own discretion and a sliding scale to penalise rule violations as you go. The most common issues are 1) not starting the scored section with both wingtips on the ground, and 2) moments of the kite exiting the video frame. I suggest being lenient and understanding (within reason), especially towards VF newcomers.

Note: Aymeric Figureau's entry has been uploaded to Dave Hearn's YouTube account. Please score according to the name within the video intro screens, not the YouTube account the video is under.

Entrants, please email your completed score sheet to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.when you're done.

Happy watching!

As always, please make sure you are familiar with the rules of VF and remember that since Round 39, we have switched to YouTube video hosting.

Special thanks to Rufus for his artwork in support of the competition - superb!

VF40 results

Round 40 results are now online! A very high bar was set this round with some great flying top to bottom.

Super close in the placings too, with just 0.4 points between 3rd and 4th, 0.5 separating 7th and 8th, and 1 point between 9th/10th and 11th/12th. Nothing in it!

Sincere thanks to all entrants and everyone who has supported the competition with prize donations, web hosting, online promotion, and/or otherwise.

You are free to use your own judgement in penalising your scores for infringements of the rules. A forgiving attitude is generally recommended and extra leniency should be given to first-time entrants.

Good luck to everyone who entered and thanks to everyone who supports our competition!
