Revised 2001 Sanction List
INTERPRETATION OF EVENT LISTINGS: 101-104 means that events numbered 101, 102, 103, and
104 are to be flown separately. (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 only events 101 and 104 are flown, but that they are combined for competition.
NOTE: To assure quick response, be certain to send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the listed
Contest Director along with your request for information about an event.
The letters in parentheses (A, B, AA, etc.) immediately following the date and location of an event refer to
sanction classification, as explained in the AMA rule book. ``B’’ indicates a restriction of entry in some fashion,
and the event’s contact person should be queried to obtain more details and to possibly avoid misunderstanding
or disappointment by the intended participant, particularly if considerable travel may be involved.
(T) indicates a traditional event (one which has occurred for a number of years at the same date and
place and with the same sponsor).

Listing
and
Ad Information
(For Contest Calendar)
NORMAL LISTING
When an AMA sanction is issued for an
event, the event will be listed automatically
in the Contest Calendar section if received
in time. Sanction forms and sanction listing
forms should be mailed to your Contest
Coordinator (except demos). The listing will
give the date, place, and name of the
event—plus competition events, flying site,
and Contest Director name and address.
Use of Supplementary (paid) Ad space is
suggested for the description of unusual or
special events, deviations from AMA rules,
or significant aspects of a meet. Paid ads
may also be helpful in promoting fun-fly-type
meets or to give directions to the flying site.
SUPPLEMENTARY ADS
Display ads can be inserted in the
Contest Calendar section by paying a
fee. These ads are accepted for AMAsanctioned
events or AMA clubsponsored
non-fly events only. These
sizes listed under ``SIZE’’ are the only
sizes that will be accepted to be
published in the Contest Calendar.
FEE: Fees are based on ad size and
whether or not the sponsor is an AMAchartered
club.
AD POLICY
SIZE: 15/8-in wide and either 3/4-, 11/2-, or
21/4-in high. Only these sizes will be
accepted.
PRICING: 3/4—$8; 11/2—$16; 21/4—$24
for each time the ad is run (payable in
advance). AMA-chartered clubs pay only
half that rate.
AD PREPARATION:
* Ads must be dark black on a white
background. Please send originals—even
good-quality photocopies do not reproduce
well. Good-quality paper is recommended.
* No ad can be larger than 15/8-in. wide by
2 1/4-in. high.
* Photographs cannot be used in
Supplementary Ads.
* Every effort will be made to place the
Supplementary Ad next to the text listing,
however, it is not guaranteed.
(We reserve the right to charge extra for
ads not of reproducible quality and/or ads
that do not meet our size requirements.)
SUBMITTAL DEADLINE: Every effort will
be made to include Supplementary Ads
received by the 14th of the month in the
issue reaching readers approximately the
fourth week of the following month.
However, this cannot be guaranteed, as
ads are published on a space-available
basis only! There is normally a two-month
lead time required for inserting a
Supplementary Ad. The same deadline
will apply to sanctioned events listings.
Questions about either Supplementary
Ads or regular Sanctioned Events listings
should be directed to AMA’s Competition
Department.
