Ballooning Rules
During competitions, pilots must be able to read different wind directions at different altitudes.
Ballooning competitions are usually called
races
, but they are mostly a test of
accuracy
, not
speed
.
In most of the events, the objective is to
fly
as
close
as possible to one or more exact points called
"targets".
Once the balloon has reached the target as close as possible, the pilot drops the
weighted
marker
with an identifying number written on it.
The distance between the
pilot's marker
and the
target
decides his/her score.
Some other types of competition also take place during various events like
"Hare and Hound"
race.
