Here's what I've got on the subject:
1/2 A rules to be used at Triple Tree Stunt Championships and Brodak Fly in 2019:
Tim Tipton is the Event Director for the 1/2 A stunt events.
Standard PA Rules for 1/2A Stunt Pattern
Engine 049 to .061
Full AMA Stunt pattern
Appearance points for all models built by the competitor
Maximum of 2 pilots can share a model, no appearance points for borrowed plane or arf
Eight minute time limit
Safety thong required.
Minimum stunt pattern option
1/2 A minimum AMA stunt pattern rules are stated below to obtain the goal of flying on .5 ounce tank:
The elimination of laps will help speed up the contest and allow the contestants to complete the modified pattern with all of the maneuvers included:
Three laps after takeoff lap before the wing over.
Minimum One lap between maneuvers except inverted which will be three laps.
Takeoff and landing will be judged with field conditions taken into consideration.
The minimum flight plan must be declared before flight and marked on score sheet.

So if you're going to use the minimum rules, you just need to tell the judges before you fly. That will ensure they don't dock your points.
