World Championships

At high level achieving good team result and good individual results is most of the time conflicting. Pilots are spread into what they should do for their team or how they should act to improve their own results. This game becomes poor.

Individually, top ranked pilot can't compète because their national team is full. 6th in the world is bad enough for a frenchy to stay home and watch another pilot getting crowned. Amongst top 100 WPRS, 30+ pilots watch the individual world championship from home. Same apply for women (USA nowadays)

On another end, many Teams are formed by only 1 pilot while the Team scoring will still take 2 best results 🤷🏻

We won 2 past éditions but we feel the format is outdated.

Building the Fatality list it appears a big proportion of fatal accident happened during World Championships while at the same time they statistically represent a single event every 2 years in a middle of hundreds of others. The specificity of the format could be creating accident by following ways :
- Heterogeneity. Semi professional pilots versus weekenders competing on cutting edge technologie for a high level comp doesn't seem like a good idea.
- High expectations : Organisation believing they deal with "the best pilots in the world", and willing to showcase a very high level event with high flying rate.
- Nation représentation and team flying : I would do things for my team mates and for my flag I wouldn't do alone.
- Long comps : more tireness.
- Politics and rules application : Sometimes differing from other Comps.
