Balloon Event Scores
There are many pilots all over the country interested in the scores from balloon events.
Many events have websites that just do not allow you to post easily the scores form your competition event.
HotAirBalloonist.com has made posting scores a 30 second process! This video explains how simple it is to post all the scores from your event. You can post every event in seconds. Here are the requirements.
First you must have an Event Organizers membership on HotAirBalloonist.com. This is easy to do, currently we are offering a FREE Event Organizers membership for a FULL YEAR to anyone who would like to post scores. Second, we would like for you to post a link to the "Event Scores" forum on your events website. Last, If your event is not on our Events Calendar please take a moment and post it. You can post event dates, details, contact information and MORE. Once your event is posted on the HotAirBalloonist.com calendar it will also appear on the Member Map.
All you need to do is send us an email. Let us know the name and the email of the person you would like to have permission to post scores. That is it! Email us at Info@HotAirBalloonist.com
Take a moment to download and watch this video on how easy posting your event scores can be.
Thank you for all you do for the balloon world.
Jeff A Thompson.

The Exchange
The Exchange is an online bulletin board for balloonist's in any specific area.
Lets say you fly in the St Louis area. You know there are several other pilots who fly in that area. Have them all get a general membership to the site then have each one select the "Follow" feature on the four forums in your Exchange.
Remember a General Membership is only $20/year. Less than a cup of coffee A MONTH!
Then if you need crew you start a topic. If you find a new Launch and landing spot you start a topic. If you need help you start a topic. If you find an unhappy landowner you start a topic. If you are a ground crew and want to crew more you start a topic. If you have a party for balloonist's you start a topic. If you need help fixing equipment you start a topic. Anything you want everyone in your area to know you start a topic. The HAB system will send an email to every one who follows your exchange. Its an online bulletin board for you and your fellow ballooner's in your area.
If there is not an exchange for your flying area and you would like one just send us a note and we will make one for you! Info@HotAirBalloonist.com
