TTOMA Perpetual Trophies

Qualifying Rules and Criteria

Each year at TTOMA’s Annual Club Banquet, the following trophies are awarded to members who have distinguished themselves on the flying field.

Event of the Year

Any Outdoor event (AMA, NFFS, FAC, TTOMA) selected by club members the previous year.

The trophy is awarded to the club member who has the highest number of “TTOMA High Points” for this specific event.

Model of the Year

Any Outdoor model selected by club members the previous year. The trophy is awarded to the club member who has the highest number of “TTOMA High Points” for this specific model. TTOMA may have a special

event for the model chosen and the model itself may qualify to be flown in one or more additional events. Should this be the case, “High Points” won in any and all events are combined for a Grand Total.

Spirit of Comet FAC High Point

This high point trophy applies to all Outdoor events. The trophy is awarded to the club member who has the highest number of “Points” for all events flown. All recorded flights qualify, regardless of the number of contestants in the event. Flight times must be turned in to the CD and recorded on the applicable event sheet. Points count only once per event flown during each contest. The reason of this trophy is to encourage outdoor scale flying or sport flying in general. Models may be scaled up or down but must follow plan outlines and construction methods.
Scoring is as follows:

COMET Design   = 1 bonus point
Scale Model    = 1 point
Sport/Endurance Model  = ½ point
Old Time Model   = ½ point

Scoring Example: 1. A scale model earns 1 point, but if it a
Comet design, the model earns an additional bonus points for a total of 2 points.
2. Old Time model earns ½ point and 1 ½ points if it is a Comet design.

Comet models must be identified on the score sheets from each contest.

BOB BAKER Old Timer High Point

This high point trophy applies to all Indoor and Outdoor Old Timer events. The trophy is awarded to the club member who has the highest number of “TTOMA High Points” for all events flown.

FAC Fiction Flyer

This new trophy is for a relatively new FAC event based on fictional “Comic Book and Comic Strip” aircraft. Most plans for these models have been published in the Flying Aces Newsletters. The trophy is awarded to the club member who has the highest number of “TTOMA High Points” for this event.

NOTE:

Currently there are no published rules for this FAC event and we will use TTOMA rules until such time as they are.

(1) All “General FAC Rules” apply. See: 2008 FAC Rule Book, page #4.

(2) All models must closely resemble the “fictional aircraft”. If the “model” is not from a kit or published plans, a copy of a publication illustration must be used as documentation. No other judging will be required.
