German Championship F3K 2012

1:st Robert Grahms; 2:nd Martin Herrig; 3:rd Mattias Hammarskiöld; 4:th Alex Hoekstra. 6:th Jens Hoffmann (great job), 12:th Peter Jubel.
The fly off was held in 3 rounds. 3x3,20; Poker and all upp.
Jens who was the last into the fly off had 7903 points in the preliminaries, so it was tight to get into the final.
Jonas Blomdahl reach 19:th spot, Håkan Sjöberg around 22 something and Johan Sjöborg finished of at around 40:th place.
The airfield was on top of a hill, so there were slope flying possibilities, and this was also contributing to the tight figures in the top of course.
Mattias made a nice recovery in the Poker task after flying 1,15 in the first throw, feeling the thermal on the way down and called then the reamining time (whatever it was), bot did not really get the thermal and was struggeling, so the only way to save this flight was to fly deep into the walley and try to find some lift there. This ended up in roughly 6 minutes flight 50 meters below his feet before hitting any rising air and then finally crawling back up on landing height :-)Standing ovations from the audience.
