33 pilots answered the XC Open survey, which asked participating pilots where they would like the 2010 series events to be held, how many events there should be, dates and their perceived suitability of Sopot for an event.
The conclusions were that three events were favoured over four, and Manilla, Piedrahita and Araxá were the favourite locations. La Palma and Sopot were unpopular, the latter probably due to the unavailability of a rescue helicopter.
The dates for the 2010 series, then, are as follows:
Araxa, Brazil. 10 – 17 October 2009
Manilla, Australia. 30 January – 10 February 2010
Piedrahita, Spain. 28 August – 4 September 2010
