2007 Space Elevator Games – (Entry 19)

Once again, weather is playing havoc with the Space Elevator Games.  The wind (and now rain) conditions today have limited qualification attempts to just one, the failed attempt by UBC-Snowstar.  Both E-T-C and the Technology Tycoons were also ready to attempt to qualify, but weather prevented it.

The forecast is now looking pretty gloomy for the Salt Lake City area for the next few days.  Because of that, there is now a contingency plan in place to extend the Games by up to two days (through Tuesday, October 23rd, IF NECESSARY.  A Team Captain meeting was just held to inform the teams of this possible change of plans.

Of course this will play havoc with travel schedules, school schedules (for our High School and University students), work schedules, etc.  The Davis County Fairgrounds has kindly made their facility available for the extra two days if necessary.

This sucks, but we really can’t control the weather.  Hopefully things will clear up, at least enough to qualify the Climbers for their runs before the weekend.

The Light Racers and the Tether Pull competitions, as they’re being held indoors, will still be held on Saturday, October 20th.

Again, these are contingency plans, hopefully not necessary.  But we want to be ready if weather does not cooperate.
