That is the link to the rules we will be going by
-
Cody clown is usually flown on .015 lines .most flyers wont have .018 lines with 52 ft length
-
Also, does not address fuel shut offs which are a major advantage if you know how to use them.
What is the advantage of a fuel shut off
-
Cody, I STRONGLY suggest that you use the NCLRA Clown rules. While there are several variations, these are the most commonly used and are available easily on the 'net at the NCLRA website. The rules you have pointed to vary quite a bit from what's being flown elsewhere.

Advantages of a fuel shut-off? The pilot can control where the engine quits in order to get eh model to the pitman reliably and quicker. It has been found that the way to get the most laps is quicker pits, all else being constant.

Most of the rules we will be using are directly out of nclra just wanted to be More spicific in a few places and change a few things for example I wanted to make it double elimination so it is worth the travel time for people

Yes, the double elimination format is an interesting twist. But the rest of the rules are important. Bob asked about the .018" lines, and Walt about the use of shut-offs, and the NCLRA rules use 60' lines, not 52'6". At the speeds that a good Clown is flying, 52' lines are just too short for the rotational speed.
I also suggest that you make all of the elimination races 7-1/2 minutes rather than 15. A 15 minute race is really tough on the pilots, particularly if one of them is flying more than one entry. Yes, perhaps the final race could be 15 minutes.
I really want to see your event happen. It's been a long time since that part of the country saw any CL racing action.

I will make some edits and repost the rules after I do
-
This is on 52" lines.

It should go faster than that on 52 inch lines!
