WMF 2011 summer competition

 The 2011 Competition is fast approaching and again will be all about having fun, the format being much the same as the last few years. All those who entered agreed the format worked very well and a unanimous vote at the AGM agreed to keep things the same. I would like six members each to plan and organise one of the tasks and already have one volunteer with a task called “It’s a Knockout”. Please get thinking of things you fancy doing and let me know so that I can get a list published, lets see if we can get some new ideas this year as well as some of the good old ones, don’t be afraid to volunteer.

 Again the 2011 competition will be open to any type of electric model, powered by any motor and battery combination. It will be run over five or six rounds throughout the summer evenings and probably at the annual BBQ, with each pilot's best four rounds counting towards their final score. Each round will have a different task, these will then be put into a hat and one drawn on the night after entrants have registered to avoid any prior knowledge of the task for that round. I will publish a list of the tasks when I know what they all are, but we will not know in which round they will be used.  

 Any model type may be used for any task but the pilot must declare which model they intend to use when booking in on the day. A pilots briefing will then follow, at which time the task type will be announced, taking into account the weather conditions and the daylight available. This will hopefully reduce any advantages gained by selecting certain model types for specific tasks and enable those who may only have one electric model to compete on more equal terms with our multi model members. Anybody wishing to change their model after the task has been announced can only do so at the discretion of the competition director ( Dave Barker ) and will only be allowed to do so if failure of the first model can be proved, ( show me the bits), no cheating please.  

 Each task will probably have different scoring methods but points will be awarded in the following manner for the first eight places in each round.

First……..10 points                            Fifth……..4 points

Second…..8 points                             Sixth…….3 points

Third…….6 points                              Seventh….2 points

Fourth…...5 points                              Eighth……1 point

 The aim is to have round one start in April on the 3^rd Tuesday evening and then either the 3^rd or 4^th Tuesday in the month after that, a list of the provisional dates is shown below but if these have to change as much notice as possible will be given, probably via the club notice board in the hanger where the results for each round will also be posted and also on the club web pages.

Round  1  19^th April                                        Round   4  19^th July

Round  2  17^th May                                         Round   5  16^th August

Round  3  21^st June                                         Round   6  Club BBQ date TBA
