Don't hesitate to approach a Jury member with questions or issues; they're at the contest to make sure that the rules are applied properly, that the contest runs smoothly, and to solve problems, great and small. To that end, please talk with a Jury member before filing a protest!

Should you need a Jury member at the contest but can't find one, call the Jury Chairman. Find a list of jury members on this site's Officials page.

Please bring 10 A forms and 20 each of your B and C forms of your Freestyle to Registration.

Your Form A must include the Super Family number with each figure. Note: Super Family numbers are automatically determined and printed by selecting the appropriate options when printing your forms in either the OpenAero or Aresti/Visio software.

Visit AvFlight to register and provide credit card information for fuel purchases. If paying by check or cash, a credit card on file is required as back up. Receipts can be obtained at the end of the contest in the AvFlight office.
