Use of Airtribune and what that means to you
Airtribune is an online live tracking platform that can be used to manage and score competitions. Competitors log their flights using an app on their phone, and this can be automatically uploaded to the competition page on landing.
This league has been built around it so that it does not need any support staff. Day winners will be apparent from the leadership board on the Airtribune event page.
League scoring will consist of copying and pasting the day’s results from airtribune into a spread sheet and applying the points as detailed under scoring. This will be done in the days after a league weekend round. The free flight virtual round will be updated periodically.
All of this will be done by a pilot, i.e. someone who just wants to fly, has a day job, and is tired and can’t be arsed.
To make this easy and not too much of a burden, pilots are expected to:
•	Show up with the app downloaded
•	Show up fully registered on Air tribune
•	Show up registered for the event on Airtribune.
•	Use the app to log their flights, turn it on before take off, off after landing, and submit their flights correctly.

The aim is that there will be NO manual tracklog downloading. Idiot taxation will apply.
There will be some leniency about this on the first round, but not much. If even one person needs to be manually downloaded, the workload increases considerably.

Airtribune: How to do this stuff:
•	Download the app:
Do this on Google play for Android phones, or the app store for Apple. The android version has a lot of features and can be used as a general flight logger. The apple version cant do anything until you sign up for the comp. It will show you a screen telling you this until you get to the comp and check in (see below).
•	Register on Airtribune
Go to airtribune.com on your PC/phone browser and click on SIGN IN in the top right corner. A box will pop up.
Click “New User? Sign up”. You’ll need an email address and your HGFA card. It will ask for your email first, and then send a confirmation code to that address
Fill in all the information that they ask for, and click submit.
•	Register for the event
Once you have an airtribune account, go to airtribune.com, sign in, and type “SE QLD” into the search box at the top of the page.

Register for the event here. It will ask you a load of silly questions, but you must answer them all unfortunately
Use the last 4 digits of your HGFA number as your participant number
Under insurance write "HGFA Third Party"
Policy number "1234"
Click Submit and you’re done.
•	Checking in
This is for android, not sure yet how it looks on Apple.
Open the app on your phone.
Click on the competition Trophy symbol on the bottom right.
If you’re registered it should ask you to check in to the event. You can only do this if you’re within 100KM of Mount Tamborine BO. Before checking in, make sure you’re outdoors so it can take a GPS fix.

Logging your flight on a task
This is for android, not sure yet how it looks on Apple. Make sure your phone is fully charged.
Once a task has been set up, open the app, and go to the Trophy Symbol at the bottom of the screen. The screen will look similar to this: 
Last thing before you take off (obviously), click “START LIVE TRACKING”, lock the screen and stow the phone in your harness (not your pocket).
Put the phone in an upper pocket on your harness, where it faces the sky, and ideally with only a single layer of fabric between it and the open air. (At the bottom of your boot wrapped up in your pack up gear may not be ideal. Neither is a chest pocket.)
If you’re having issues with getting a signal, consider getting a runners phone holding armband from Kmart ($12) and secure it (in a safe manner) to your crossbar inside the sail. Alternatively use duct tape or some other method to secure it there. Phone carriage is at your own risk!
Depending on the age and type of your phone, you may also want to carry a booster battery to keep it from going flat in flight. (Again 12$ in Kmart!) My phone is a Samsung S5, 18 months old. It has no issues tracking a 3-4 hour flight.
Once you’re on the ground, hit “STOP LIVE TRACKING” and hit “report back”. So everyone knows your OK. Take a pic and post to the day blog if you like.
