RULES: FAI FREE FLIGHT AMERICA'S CUP 2002
===========================================
Revised 01/24/02

The purpose of the America's Cup Competition is to foster the
development of flyers and models across North America in the FAI
classes F1A, F1B, and F1C as well as the mini-events, F1G, F1H, and
F1J. This coast-to-coast competition encourages flyers to attend
multiple contests each year in the United States and Canada in order to
win. To this end the Southern California Aero Team has formulated the
following rules:

1) Designated contests must be flown in accordance with the provisions
of the FAI Sporting Code and as follows:

a) F1A, B and C Contests must be a minimum of 7 rounds plus flyoffs
if required. First round max durations should require the current
extended flight times as stated in the FAI Sporting Code. F1G, H and J
contests must fly a minimum of 5 rounds plus flyoffs if required. All
events must have discreet rounds and must be flown from a launch line.
In the case of deteriorating weather or for safety reasons, contests
can be terminated after 5 rounds, and the Contest Director must provide
the situation description. The CD must also indicate which round max
durations were shortened from those stated in the FAI Sporting Code

b) For F1A, B, and C, Contests flown over two days must have 7 rounds
minimum (exception as above), and scoring will be based on total rounds
flown. Contest Directors are urged to configure contest rounds to best
allow 7 rounds plus flyoffs to be completed.

c) A $25US America’s Cup Contest Sanction Fee is required on or before
April 1 of the current schedule year. Acceptable forms of payment are
Money Orders or Checks made out to Bill Bogart and sent to either
address below. Non-payment will result in the removal of the contest
from the following year’s schedule. Designated contests will be
recommended to the SCAT Club at large by the S.C.A.T. America's Cup
Committee after careful consultation with contest organizers and FAI
competitors in the USA and Canada. Previous Cup Contests have
priority. In the event of rescheduling or cancellation, the organzer
must make an effort at widespread notification to that effect. A 30-
day advanced notice is recommended. New contests will be granted
Conditional Status for their first year on the Calendar, based on their
adherence to FAI rules as reported by organizers and contestants to
either of the Committee members (see addresses below). Points scored
at Conditional Contests are fully counted.

d) Contestant eligibility is restricted to permanent residents of the
United States, Canada and Mexico. New permanent residents must contact
the Administrator to establish eligibility. Other foreign competitors
are not considered in the quantity of entries or in the individual
scores.

2) Any number of Designated Contests can be entered and at any contest
site.

3) The highest scores from a maximum of four contests will be counted.

4) For all events, the total score may include two scores from one
site only; all other scores must come from different sites. Example:
Four scores require at least three sites; three scores require at least
two sites.

5) Points Allocation:
1st Place 25 points
2nd Place 20 points
3rd Place 15 points
4th Place 10 points
5th Place 5 points


6) Extra "Bonus" points are scored on the number of contestants in an
event:

1 - 5 0 points
6 - 8 +1 point
9 - 11 +2 points
12 - 14 +3 points
15 - 17 +4 points
18 or more +5 points

7) Contest ties must be settled, or else competitors receive the
lowest score possible. For example, if three tie for first place and
the ties are not settled, then each of the three receives the third
place score (15 points). If two tie for fourth place and no
settlement, each receives 5 points. If five or more max out with no
flyoffs, each receives 5 points. Bonus points are added to the above
scores.
Ties are to be broken in a sporting manner, in which the event’s
models are flown. A single “flyoff” flight or the result of a future
contest are the preferred methods for tie-breakers. The sportsmen are
responsible for arranging a suitable tie breaker. The results of the
tie breaker are to be documented in writing, and agreed upon by the
participants. If attempts at breaking the tie are ultimately
unsuccessful, the America’s Cup Committee is responsible for
adjudication. Ties must be broken within 60 days of the contest or by
January 15 of the following year, whichever is sooner, or the scores
will remain as ties with the lower score recorded.

8) Ties for first place in the final scoring are settled by counting
5 contests in totals or more if necessary, Rule 4 not withstanding. If
this does not settle a tie, then the winner is determined by taking the
scores from the five best contests and multiplying by the total number
of contestants in the 5 contests in the competitor's event.

9) For contests with fewer than 5 entrants, full points will be
awarded as per Rule 5. In the case of only one entrant, 25 points will
be awarded only if all other conditions of these rules are met; the
contestant must fly in a sportsman-like manner.

10) 'Entry' means - made at least one official flight.

11) Points are scored on the calendar year basis. The America's Cups
and certificates for the first five places will be awarded at a banquet
on Saturday night of the Max Men 14 Round International Contest in
California. The certificates will be mailed, and S.C.A.T. will pay
for the Cups to be shipped to those who are unable to attend; however,
it is the responsibility of the winners to return the Cups to the
America's Cup Administrator in time for the next Awards Banquet. If
Cups must be shipped, it is the responsibility of the winners to insure
the cups for $200.00 US.

12) Contests Directors or FAI Event Sponsors are to send contest
results including 1) top five winners’ names and scores, 2) all FAI
Junior scores and 3) number of entries in each event to Jim Parker,
preferrably via email within two weeks of the event.

Mr. Roger Morell
I express the trouble in connection with absence of the next slope of
news. I have received last SCAT Electronic News 24 January 2001 Issue
669. I am sorry, but it seemed that a lot of time has passed already,
though six days actually have passed only. I miss without news, without
fascinating verbal battles around of a theme to be or to not be to a
reducer in F1=F3. To me to become simply ridiculously and I do not
understand those people, which find any reasons against PROGRESS. You
see employment(occupation) by models is interesting to that each
participant can think up and embody something, and invent the reducer or
think up something another, that becomes brighter, than reducer
Verbitsky, or unique model Fuzeev. Otherwise, all of us shall remind of
the twins, who more strongly will throw, that and has won. And to spend
interrogation of opinions to be or to not be or to try to forbid
progressive of idea, it all the same what to assert(approve), that the
Earth does not rotate.
Let's better discuss the interesting technical decisions, idea, problem.
I am interested in idea of use of inertia of rotation of the Air screw,
after a stop of the engine, that is use of rotation in models F1C.
I search of a Free course the mechanism 6=C815 mm, (he represents the
roller bearing, which freely can rotate only in one party), or other
sizes, is maximum ...21 mm. I shall be grateful for any information.

Free Flight Suppliers
======================

For one reason or another my list of free flight model supplier URL's kept
getting lost, so awhile back I created a model supplier web-page. Now all I
have to do is open the page and they are all there in one place, no matter
what or who's computer I'm using. A friend suggested that it be shared with
SCAT readers.
I'm sure there are many other suppliers that I am not aware of, so let me
know via e-mail the URL to any others that ought to be included to:

rental F1c models
=================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

How bout renting F1c models at the field to anyone that might be
interested in flying the event. The rent would be considered entrie fee for
the contest. Maybe if each one of us brings an extra model one that is ready
to fly and safe we could get some new blood. The models would not have to be
state of the art but as close as possible. You know like your older ships
hanging in the rafters. I think that would be great, those old planes should
be flying or crashing not hanging around. charlie stiles
