• We will use reserve days until we have at least three valid tasks. 
• The idea behind two reserve days is to have longer period and more chances to do the valid comp... Example: If we will see first two competition days Friday and Saturday unflyable, we will start with the comp on Sunday. All the decisions will be sended by mail to the competitors 2-3 days prior. 
• In case of not proper weather conditions (no decent chances for comp with 2-3 tasks), we will use the reserve dates - one week later 2nd March (Friday) - 07th March (Tuesday)  + reserve days: 08th and 09th March (Wednesday and Thursday)
