2) Goals & Objectives

Submitted by GoAdmin on Thu, 02/28/2008 - 11:10.
  1. Create an event format/series that is easy to organize - simple to set-up and simple to score, to make organizing less of a burden for organizers of any experience level.
  2. Create competitions that are fun and safe - easy to understand and easy to compete in. Create opportunities for any pilot to enjoy a healthy competitive environment.
  3. Competitions that provide opportunities for learning - both as organizers and pilots, to provide teaching and mentoring with respect to the technical requirements of racing competitions (GPS usage, XC skills, scoring methods, event management, etc.).
  4. Create a competition series that generates interest across the country - get more pilots out to local comps and traveling to compete. Encourage a more vibrant and inclusive community of competitors.
  5. Provide event sanctioning and series scoring that integrates with Canadian NTSS points for those working toward competing at an international level and recognition for those that excel in this Series
