Pan American Open 2009

Team and Individual Free Flight Contest and Championship

AMA Sanction #09-0159

The Pan American Open is both an individual and team event; open to all participants regardless of nationality, and any self formed team, regardless of the nationality of the members. It is both an open contest and will serve as a Pan American Championships for any team or participant from the Americas, North or South.

Teams must be entered prior to the start of the contest, and are to be self arranged by the competitors themselves.   They are encouraged to be nationally/legal residency based, and there is no limit on the number of teams from any one country. Mixed nationality teams are also permitted. Again, the composition of the teams is entirely up to the contestants – particularly in cases where you have multiple teams from the same nations. As examples, you could have teams based on the home states of their members – Team USA (California) and Team USA (New York). Alternately, you can form teams based on some larger region; Mixed Team (Scandinavia), or teams based on no affiliation at all: Team (Boris, Mario, & Pierre), etc...

The non-American or mixed teams are eligible for the team contest awards, but only teams from the Americas and purely based on national lines can win the Pan American Team Championship.   It should be noted that a mixed American team could not win the title, as it does not represent a unique Pan American nation. For the purposes of the Pan American Championship, only the national composition of the teams is important, not how the team was composed. As multiple teams are allowed from the same nation, everyone will have a chance to form a team and compete.

Individual participants, both American and foreign, could also always join the contest without a team affiliation and only compete for the individual awards.
