Spring Contest at Rouge Park, Detroit, May 21 & 22
« on: March 02, 2016, 09:04:36 AM »
The usual Spring Contest.

Saturday: Speed Limit and anything else where we can get up a match (fast, slow, 1/2A, F2d kill).
Sunday; F2d full double elimination with points awarded for the CanAm trophy.

Do y'all fly Speed Limit using double or triple elimination (please say yes), or do you use that cumulative points system like they do now at Huntersville and at Brodak's? I'm thinking about checking out Detroit this year.

All of our events are based on winning matches, not total points.

With the exception of F2D, we fly single elim.

Glad to hear about winning matches instead of counting points, Paul. But single elim for Speed Limit? You must be expecting a large turnout...

Not everybody has a huge hoard of toys.   Single elim attracts people who don't have enough stuff to fly dubs all the time.

Besides, we need the time fly our annual keep-up-the-ghost AMA Fast & Slow events.

This contest will be JIT to catch the F2D'ers on the way home from Perth.  WC's always increase the motivation level.

I was coming to this contest but I'm not driving 500 miles for single elim.

If you show up we'll go double for you.  We aim to please.  We're flexible.

The field is all cleaned-up.  Looks great.

Bring it on.

All lounge acts on Saturday.

Sunday - F2 - full dubs.  The first event of the 2016 CanAm Challenge.
