2012 Midwest Slope Challenge Registration Rules
Current AMA membership is required to fly during the event at Wilson Lake Reservoir, Kansas. Please no exceptions. This event is AMA sanctioned and permitted by the local Army Corp of Engineers.
From Thursday through Sunday frequency control will be in effect at Wilson Lake. Please help avoid shoot-downs by finding and using the frequency board.
We have special permission for vehicle access to the "airport hill" for Thursday - Sunday. Please obtain permission from a ranger if you want to drive to airport hill other than those days. Without permission, the Corp does not permit vehicles off of the road surfaces, except in designated parking areas. Help us keep a good relationship with the Corp.
Registration is limited to one assigned frequency per event, except on 2.4 GHz, so there are no frequency conflicts durig the events. This simplifies the contest and allows fly-offs and changes in rounds with no frequency conflicts. During open flying frequency control is by means of the frequency control board.
Please help us by respecting this and encouraging others to do so.
Pre-registration
Pre-registration is for pilots who were assigned frequencies in 2011 who want to request the same frequency for 2012. Pre-registration will open February 1, 2012 and must be received before or by March 31, 2012 (no exceptions). If you can be flexible, please don't lock up the frequency but if you have buried receivers or static transmitters and you would like the same assigned frequency this is for you. This is to encourage pilots who come year after year to build on non-conflicting channels. As entries are received for pre-registered pilots/assigned frequencies will be updated weekly.
Open Registration
For those not pre-registering, open registration begins April 1, 2012. No open registrations will be accepted with post marks prior to April 1, 2012. Open registration frequencies will be assigned on a first come first serve basis beginning April 1, 2012. Again, if you can be flexible on your channel, please state so on the registration form so we can allow pilots with less flexibility the chance to register.
