Rules:
_________________

One entry per frequency

3 minute Ladder Task

flight steps are consecutive, not random

unlimited number of attempts

Pilots self time their flights and record each flight on the provided score
card before attempting another flight.
Accuracy of flight time over the task time is not important because of the
fly off rounds.

Pilot's goal is qualifying for two Fly Off rounds

CD announces time to end qualifying flights during pilots meeting to allow
time for the two Fly Off rounds

Fly off qualification:  CD determines number of top flyers that can qualify
for fly off rounds based on number of entrants.  Example:  Contest with 5
entrants could be set up to allow the top 3 pilot's scores qualify for the
two Fly Off  rounds. A contest with 20 contestants could be set up for 6 top
pilot's to qualify.

If a qualifying contestant can not or chooses not to fly in the Fly Off
rounds, the next best scoring pilot can take his place in the Fly Off.
