You have all passed your PC Hill environment exam? You are all flying in the DSC environment.
Can you answer this?
Two paragliders thermaling clockwise in separate cores. As the climb progresses these cores start to come together:
This results in a growing risk of the pilots having a head-on conflict.
The pilots should?
Before getting to the stage where they are head on they should widen their turns when they are opposite each other and re-centre in the converging core. If they don't and are head on they would then need both turn right, effectively flying through the centre of their separate cores and then recentre opposite each other in the converging core.

No forward speed, but sinking fast?
If one pilot is higher should they not give way to the lower one?
This is a good airmanship question - particularly for paragliders and hang gliders. In most positions the higher pilot usually has a much better view than the lower pilot, and can also judge separation much better - a particular challenge for lower paraglider pilots. So it is good practice for the higher pilot to give extra room to the lower pilot - and remember they might be unsighted.
But in terms of regulations I don't know of any such rule. As Chris says, there's a rule governing simultaneous landings where the lower aircraft is accorded priority, but not in any other circumstances.
