The completion is only a part of the goings on during this event. You will have some of the best flyers around to talk and learn from. As it stands you will need to qualify into a division.

Method of scoring: Scale of 1 to 10 (10 being a the highest score) Each judge scores each competitor in each category once, regardless of how many rounds a competitor's performance is broken into. Each judge will add up all four categories for each competitor and establish their own 'results' (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...). The three judges will then add up each competitor's 'results score' and the competitors with the lowest 'total results' scores, are then designated as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.. For the Open and Two-way divisions, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placed competitors advance to the 'finals round'. For the open and two-way divisions, the 'semi-final' scores are not linked to the 'finals' round. If there is a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'go big score'. If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'difficulty score'. If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'technical score'. If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using the highest averaged 'artistic score'. If there is still a tie, the judges will break the tie by using their best judgment. PRIZES Prizes will be in the form of cash, certificate and product and will be announced tomorrow evening and awarded immediately after the even Tuesday evening. http://www.tunnelcamp.comLife is what you make of it!
