The "new" two additional tasks were effective 08/01/02. Where: All of the US as divided into 4 sections in an attempt to make skill not site be the determining factor for the  winners plus the rest of the world as a single (at this moment)  World group due to some foreign entries.  Prizes will be awarded for all areas for all "classes".      West Coast (West of route 5, Regions 1, 2, 3)      West (Regions 1,2,3,4,& 5 east of route 5)      Central (Regions 6,7,& 11)      East (Regions 8,9,10, & 12)                       And      "World"for the rest of the world.

How?  Pre-registration is preferred and makes it easier for us (see forms below) but if not -- 1) Get landing witness for any XC flight. 2) Send us notification on the form below   of the flight within one week of the flight. Submit all flights (within 1 week of flight). Who knows what will win? Entry Fee?  There is NO ENTRY FEE, but a self addressed      stamped envelope is required for any correspondence      requiring a return (i.e.: entry form etc.).      E-mail correspondence and entry forms are acceptable, in      fact, they are preferred.
