Due to scheduling conflicts with the European Gliding Championships held in Nitra, Slovakia, from 17-30 July 2011, some pilots couldn't attend the Grand Prix Final. Among others, triple and defending Grand Prix World champion Sebastian Kawa did not attend The Finals, instead he went on to win the European Gliding Championships in the Standard class.
