I read about this contest some time ago, but in the meanwhile the page
with the simple rules seems to have been removed from their homepage.
Therefore I have rewritten the rules from the print I made. Thanks to
PASS and Jay Decker.
Please let me know if the rules are still on the PASS
homepage so I can link to them instead.
This is a man-on-man competition where the best pilots are
rewarded with lots of flying time and glory of being the best. The rules
are simple, two pilots simultanously launch side-by-side and last one on
the ground wins the match. The overall winner is determined by dual
elimination of the other pilots. For the weenies who need to know all
the detailed rules, here you go:
- Winch line length 200 meters (max) and expect it to be
shortened by the CD if the air is good
- Max flight time when the flight time of a match exceeds 10
minutes, the pilots will land within 1 minute and launch again. The
max flight time for semifinal and final matches will be 15 minutes.
If its a good day you better bring you smart charger - you'll be
flying a lot.
- Pilot initial positions in the dual elimination progresion tree
will be assigned by lottery. Everyone will have at least three
opportunities to fly through a consolation bracket.
- Pilots are Assigned a winch for each match.
- Landing task the nose of the plane must land on the field.
Your plane can be upside down and broke in half but as long as the
nose is on the field it is a valid landing.
- No sandbagging when you're called, get moving. Once you and
your opponent are ready at the winches the match timer will give the
command launch and you will both launch simultanously. Both pilots
are to release their planes within 10 seconds.
- Pop offs one per match. Doesn't matter if it's you or you
opponent. If it happens again, fly it out. Launch equipment failures
excepted.
- Line breaks one for the contest.
- You can fly whatever you want and switch planes between
matches.
- Protests any weenie who wishes to protest can talk to the
CD, the weenie is expresly forbidden to talk to the opponent or
flight group timer.
- Thermal sensors, varios etc. are allowed, provided that
they do not interfere with the contest in any way
