WMF 2010 summer competition

The 2010 Competition will again be all about having fun, the format being much the same as last year, as all those who entered agreed the format worked very well. I shall be asking six members each to plan and organise one of the tasks. So again the 2010 competition will be open to any type of electric model, powered by any motor and battery combination. This time no bonus points will be given if using a previous club model.

The competition will be run over five or six rounds throughout the summer evenings and probably at the annual BBQ, with each pilot's best three rounds counting towards their final score. Each round will have a different task and I shall be asking the six helpers for a task they would like to organise, ( any volunteers please contact me - Dave Barker ). 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 we have decided 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.

The aim is to have round one start in April on the 3rd Tuesday evening and then either the 3rd or 4th 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.
