The four California IAC Chapters that host regional contests (26, 36, 38, 49) collectively award trophies to the winners of the point series for each contest season. There were four California contests in the 2022 season. Each contest pays five dollars per competing pilot into a fund to pay for the trophies. The responsibility for obtaining and presenting the trophies rotates to each of these chapters once every four years. The trophies are usually awarded at the responsible chapter’s regional contest the following season.
To be eligible for a trophy, a pilot must fly in a minimum of three California contests in a particular category. That is the only requirement. The best three contests by percent of possible points are counted for a pilot that flies in more than three California contests in a season. A pilot’s overall series percent of possible points is calculated by dividing the sum of the earned points by the sum of the maximum possible points. The trophies go to the top three pilots by overall series percent of possible for the five competition categories.
Here are the qualifying pilots, their total percentages of possible, and the winners of the 2022 California Point Series.
