"Freestyle" part of the 07-DOD fly-in:

Here are the rules and judging criteria that we have come up with so far-
Opinions welcome!

Approx start time: Around 2-3pm Saturday the 13th
Entry fee: $75

Airframe: 50cc or larger

Duration: 4 minute flight time

If you don't have a routine to music (like me), and just want to fly your style and "shoot from the hip" thats perfectly OK! It's not that serious and most of us don't have that much time to prepare a well choreographed routine anyway.

If you do have a routine to music, please bring your music on a CD if you have something particular you want to play. We'll also have various songs to pick from if you just want some music in the air while you fly! (Please keep the lyrics clean!)

Judging will be based on a 1-5 scale (5 being the highest score) for the following criteria -

* Control
* Difficulty
* Crowd's response
* Precision and choreography

Safety is of the up-most importance. DO NOT cross the flight line boundaries. Doing so will result in disqualification. Other than that, fly it like you stole it!

Prize money-

1st-- 40% of the pot
2nd--25%
3rd--20%
4th--10%
5th-- 5%
