International Sport Kite Compulsories Book
The IRBC (a coming together of the AKA, JSKA and STACK) competition figures have now taken over from the old STACK figures as being what we should all be flying from now on. These are the animated versions of the static diagrams taken from the ISK Compulsory Book. The animations allow you turn both the grid and figure lines on and off. This can give flyers an idea of how the figures look when seen against a clear sky (how the judges will view them).
The animations are produced in Flash. In order to view them you will need the Flash plug-in (version 4 or better).
The figures have been updated to meet ISKCB v2.1 (1 August 2006). Because I was asked to keep the obsolete figures online I haven't updated my numbering of the figures, so go by the name not the number. The dual-line team figures now include animations for 3, 4 and 5 person teams.
Rule changes from 1 August 2009
Summary of Rule Changes:
- Precision Figures
- Judged as an entity; critical elements discontinued; only one score per figure required from judges.
- Scoring
- No particular program preferred provided that the requirements specified in ISKJB are not compromised.
- Discipline Judges
- Numbers of judges required per discipline in international competition changed from 5 to a minimum of 3.
Make sure you have the latest copy of the rule book and check that your local judges are familair with the changes.
