- 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.
- 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.
- 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.).
- 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.
- 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
