Welcome to a Swedish Cup in the record breaking area of Ålleberg Falköping! This will be the first of four Swedish Cups 2025!. (The other will be Tallhed, Myrsjö and Åre)
The comp will be FAI cat2 sanctioned. 1-3 May is the official days but we may use sunday 4 may  or 17-18 may as extra days if we haven't had one valid task the ordinary days

Takeoffs: Ålleberg (soaring ridge).

We will be based at the classic hill Ålleberg (foot launch).
Ålleberg is flyable on the West side (with WSW-W-WNW-NW wind) or the East side with east winds.

This year we will NOT  have towing as option so in Ålleberg we trust...

Mentorship and Comp beginner friendly!
We especially encourage comp-rookies to join as all tasks shall be made so everyone will have a decent chance of reaching goal or at least get away on nice XC flights.

Elapsed time will be used on all tasks. We dont want to force everyone out on the ridge if its weak and re-starts will be allowed if the pilots bomb out and hasn't left the start cylinder around the hill.
