  • "101-10" means that events numbered 101, 102, 103, and 104 are to be flown at each meet.
  • "(101-104)" means that events numbered 101, 102, 103, and 104 are combined.
  • "101, 104" means only events 101 and 104 are flown, and that they are flown separately.
  • "(101, 104)" means any one or more of 101 and 104 may be flown at the meet, but an entrant need not compete in all events.
  • See NATS handbook for definitions.
