This is normally held annually, either at [[Gransden Lodge]] or OUGC's home airfield at RAF [[Bicester]], and is the traditional opportunity for us to show our skills against "the other place".
The rules are simple: teams of 5 6 attempt to soar locally for up to 50 minutes, gaining one point per minute, climbing for 2 points per 100 ft, and then to land before the 50 minutes are up as there is then a deduction of 6 points per minute. Flights which receive no points for time are not allowed to claim height gains.
Women on the Varsity team can get a half-blue if they already have perfomed a 1 hour solo flight. Men can also get a half-blue from the Women's Blues Committee (subject to approval from MBC).
