Gee, that sounds dodgy. A right dog and pony show.

The one loft races are becoming popular here, and from what I can gather almost all of them are run very professionally. I have seen the training flight results and race results for several OLRs, which seem to be put on the websites quickly.
I have not entered them, but those that do can win good money and seem very happy with them.
Depends on who is running them, I guess.

Here is part of it

Despite what's been said about the loft the Moray Firth One Loft Classic has never been more determined to do better and above all else take on board the things fanciers have said they would like from us in 2024 as we wont be going anywhere regardless of whether we start with 100 or 1000 entries!
Going into next year we won't be so nieve in regards to providing GPS Location of the transporter every time it leaves the workshop, GPS Tracking on pigeons to show that the birds are flying from intended race points, Live footage of liberations and with that be able to show similar velocities and returns to what we had this year which is really the only way I can prove the consistency of this year's racing!
With all that being said I'd like to highlight that we have achieved everything that we had set out to achieve, We conducted 9 races over 15 weeks and have paid out in the region of £40,000 in prizes
