Seeded MAN-ON-MAN Expert, Sportsman classes. A modified AMA L-4 concentric graduated spot landing will be used (100" tape/1 pt/inch.) Landing scores will be combined with the flight scores for the normalization process using the costant-delta method (http://forums.flyesl.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=396&whichpage=3). We will start each day with random flight groups, then switch to seeded MOM. Inverted landings and shed parts will be allowed in landing. (Popping a canopy or getting blown over when forced at times to land downwind doesn't seem fair anyway)
Go to the url below for much more location related information. Tentative plans call for practice on Friday with an informal ALES competition.

Everyone should bring their own food, however, we will have a cooler of drinks available. Open winch flying at the field Friday afternoon, weather permitting.
