INDOOR CHALLENGE 23rd JANUARY 2010 HELD AT HALL 'F', PRETORIA SHOWGROUNDS,SOUTER STREET,PRETORIA - CHANGE OF KNOWN SCHEDULE -- Chris Harris

Hi Guys,

Please note the Known Schedule has been changed to the BMFA ‘C’ Schedule. This will be more suitable for our first S.A event. A copy of the schedule, Description of manoeuvres & Aresti diagram is attached.

So the event will now consist of the following events:-

· 2 Rounds of F3P BMFA ‘C’ Schedule (Best Round to count Normalised to 1000 points.)

· 2 Rounds of 2 minute Freestyle to Music (Best Round to count Normalised to 1000 points.)

· 2 Rounds of an E-X GAMES Obstacle course (Best Round to count Normalised to 1000 points.)

The best two of the counted 3 rounds will decide the Winner & other positions. (ie. A total maximum normalised score of 2000 points is possible.) I have also attached a simple diagram of how the scoring will work.

The reason we are doing it this way is some guys may not excel in the precision F3P discipline or they might have two bad rounds in the Freestyle or E-X Games event. This now doesn’t matter as only their two best scoring events will count to the final score.

This is such a fantastic, fun and extremely cheap discipline, anyone can get into it and have the time of their lives while flying their aircraft indoors!

Please forward this email to anyone that you know would be interested.

SO COME ON GUYS, LETS GET THE INTEREST GOING AND GET AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN TO ENTER TO MAKE THIS FIRST ANNUAL INDOOR CHALLENGE A HUGE SUCCESS!!!

Please contact me if you need any further information.
