Task 5

[Hesitation Waltz/ HWZ]

Balloons fly to the goal which the Event Director ordered. It is usually 4 to 6 km away from the goal. The pilots drop the marker toward the center of the target and the winner who made the nearest gets 1000 points. This is very similar to Judge Declared Goal / JDG. The difference between HWZ and JDG is that there are plural targets in HWZ and pilots need to decide one target from them.
