Tom, I think the press release I created below was printed in John's
article of MA for the 2007 results.
2008 results are not completed, and results have been scarce. For
whatever reason the Indoor Cups have not been a huge success. Many
have no idea what they even are. I will take partial blame for not
being a good enough promoter I suppose. I got them rolling with John
Kagan and Rex Hinson's help. Rob Romash is now the director with me
as his assitant. I have been looking to get new blood and a better
promoter to take my place with no takers. Anyone, anyone?
"The 2007 Indoor National Cup has again come to a close.
The Indoor National Cups are sponsored by the National Free Flight
Society. The basic idea is to allow indoorists from across the
country to compete in a year long points series for top honors in
each of the two major disciplines, Indoor Rubber and Indoor Glider.
There were seven regional contests to choose from this year, which
was down two from 2006 unfortunately. Up to six regional events can
be used by each flier for points in addition to either of the
two "biggies", The Kibbie Dome annual or The United Sates Indoor
Championships. Contestants that place in the top five in any event
will receive National Cup Points. The points are weighted based upon
the number of entrants in the particular event.
Rob Romash beat out Tom Sova for top spot in the Rubber event, which
includes F1L, Limited Pennyplane, and Ministick. Rob placed well in
both of his local regional contests (Colorado Springs) and traveled
to Kent, Ohio to help his score. Those three regional events plus a
strong showing at the Kibbe Dome annual gave him a point total of 281.
The Indoor Glider Cup pulls scores from Hand Lunched Glider, Standard
Catapult, and Unlimited Catapult. Rob Romash came within three
points of taking both cups, but was edged out but perennial winner
Kurt Krempetz for the Glider honors. Kurt was one of few people to
achieve three scores at one location. It should be noted that only
two scores per location count towards an individuals point totals.
Kurt had five regional scores plus his scores at USIC to edge take
the win with 271 total points.
Congratulations to all of the winners. Contest directors, now is the
time to get your 2008 event added to the schedule. You never know
what out of towner may travel across country in hopes of picking up a
few more points! Information and applications for inclusion can be
found at
