US Team Selection
===============
Those in the 'program*' should have just received from the AMA [or be
just about to] .. the information bulletin from the new Team Selection
Commitee chairman, Bob Waterman. The dates for the 'finals' is 16 thru 19
September at Palm Bay in Florida. The CD will be F1A flyer Jim Juhl.
Gary Baughman is the F1A Director, Walt Rozelle the F1B, and Phil
Bayly the F1C.
Bob reports [and I have had reports from other sources too] that the
Florida Modellers Association and other locals including Jim Bradley the
area 5 rep have spent much time mowing and clearing the site. The site is
in much better shape that it was four years ago when the finals were last
held there.
* The 'program' is the US FF Team Selection Program. This is
administered by the AMA and the rules set by the progran participants and
Team Selection commitee. To get on the US Team for the 1999 World
Champs in Israel, you must -
Firstly - Sign up with the program through the AMA Competitions
Department.
Then qualify for the Finals - By Accumulating 4500 seconds air time in
your class in AMA sanctioned contests.
Then place in the top 3 in the Finals to be held in Palm Bay, FL as
mentioned above.
Note this is is just a summary of the program for those who are not familar
with it. You will get details when you sign up with the AMA Competition
Dept.
