PASS SEASON POINTS: The Rules
Annual
Season Points Trophies are awarded in 4 categories:
HANDLAUNCH SLOPE
F5B OVERALL
For
a contest to count for any of these categories they must meet the following
criteria:
• There
must be at least 3 opportunities to score for the majority of the participants
• There
must be at least 3 entrants in the contest
• It
must be advertised so that all PASS members could know about the event
• Team
events do not count for season points
• Pilots
can only earn points for a contest if they paid their membership dues during
the same quarter as the contest or before (i.e., if you join during the first
quarter – before March 31 – you can count all contest; if you join during the
second quarter – before June 30 – you can count all contests after April 1;
etc.)
Points
are awarded for each contest as follows:
• First
place receives 20 points
• Second
place receives 19 points
• Third
place receives 18 points
And
so on; pilots finishing after 20th place receive zero points
