February 8-9, 2014
AMA sanctioned, AA, National Cup
At the Isaacson Winter Classic
Lost Hills, California
The World Open is a composite championship consisting of official flying over two flying days:
1. Saturday, February 8, 8-4 p.m. The regular Isaacson Classic E-36
event flown to AMA rules. No rounds.
2. Sunday February 9, ~8:45 a.m. Single attempt for single unlimited
“champagne flight” timed to the ground, 15-second (or 10s in case of
sustained wind over 3 meters per second) motor run, to be held between
the first and second rounds of F1G-H-J, location TBA. Launch window
will be a 10-minute FAI-style round. No builder-of-model rule in effect.
Models must meet all other AMA E-36 rules.
World Open Rules
1. E-36 World Open champion will be the flyer who has the highest
composite placing in the two days’ events. Each event counts equally,
for half of your final score. Points allocation is based on percentage
of the winning score in each event.
2. Tiebreaker one: champagne flight placing.
3. Tiebreaker two: additional flyoff.
Sample calculations
Say the two winning scores are: Saturday AMA E-36, 645 seconds; Sunday
champagne flight, 185 seconds.
A. John’s AMA E-36 score: 583s (90.4% of the first place time),
champagne flight score: 157s (84.9%). John’s World Open final score is
87.7%.
B. Steve’s AMA E-36 score: 559s (86.7%), Champagne flight score: 167s
(90.2%). Steve’s World Open score is 88.4%...Steve wins the World Open
title.
Awards
Award to third place. $400 in cash prize money ($200 for first place,
$125 second place, $75 third place).
