Even though it is listed second in the rulebook the Judge Declared Goal serves culturally as the prototypical Hot Air Balloon Competition task. It is an extremely simple task generally. It consists of a single point, either electronic or virtual, that competitors must fly as close as possible to while leaving a mark.
In this case, the goal is set by the director. If a physical target, it is often displayed as a large white X at the location. An example is shown at the left. If electronic, stipulations can be placed such as 3D scoring with altitude to make things more challenging.
