2003 Regional Series Champions Announced

 

Scores for the 2003 Regional Championship Series have been tabulated by Tom Myers, the official scorekeeper for the series.

The Regional Championship Series began in 2002 and continues to grow in participation according to IAC Executive Director Lisa Popp. “In 2003, 80 members participated in the series, up from 60 in 2002.”

To be eligible, a pilot must fly at least three contests during the year (two for the Northwest Region due to unavailability of contest sites). If more than three contests are flown, the highest scores are used to arrive at each participant’s total percentage. First, second and third place trophies are awarded to qualified participants in each category (Primary - Unlimited) in each of the six regions. Trophies are sent to the Chapter Presidents of the winners in each region for awarding at an event held in the local area such as a Chapter meeting or first contest of the next season.
