Technical Director Steve Kaluf IF YOU ARE Contest Director considering becoming may wish skip reading column month often reminder Contest Directors CDs responsibilities some time lines need adhered Becoming Contest Director quite simple take open-hook test get three Open members sign form basically states would make good CD test also really simple exercise looking up information Competition

approved Contest Director probation until successful completion contest submission required paperwork AMA HQ After completion second successfully run contest CD will receive earned AMA membership next membership year will also receive subsequent year runs contest So what CDs responsibilities Lets look description found AMA Membership Manual Competition Regulations Responsibilities AMA CDs lax running events enforcing rules jeopardize official standing encourage criticism value AMA sanction local levels flexibility stretching rules possible out-of-town participants involved entrants have

mentioned above quotation local levels flexibility stretching rules possible out-of-town participants involved entrants have right expect strict adherence regulations . opinion deviations could affect safety contest acceptableever Others problematic best times will have modify rule accommodate field conditions etc part acceptable However realize cases modifications will invalidate performance standpoint setting national record good example would shortening RC Pylon Racing course accommodate small field still great fun aircraft would flying required amount distance therefore no records could set simplistic example much complicated Also mentioned quote contest attracting out-of-town modelers expect able look Competition Regulations know event will run run contest nature local rules
