...will be at Kibbie June 26-30
All options for Urbana in 2014 have been exhausted.
I'm waiting on the final contract/cost, after which an entry form will be mailed to all previous Nats participants.
Cost and fee structure will be similar to recent Kibbie Dome annuals. The site and equipment cost will be divided by the anticipated number of participants. There will be a flat cost for all 5 days, and probably a per-day option that will break even with the 5-day cost around 3 to 4 days. There will be a lower rate for Juniors.
Flying schedule will match the standard Kibbie format, which is to say, gliders in the morning, all other events separated by weight on opposite ends of the dome. Fly what you want, when you want.
I have had more than a handful of people contact me expressing concern that we would have to run the Nats by the "AMA rules", by which they meant the timeslots used at Johnson City and Urbana, and/or the per-event fees. Keep in mind - there are no "AMA rules" regarding schedule and cost. In this case it makes the most sense to match what has been proven to work at Kibbie.
Work is under way to find an Eastern site for future Nats/USIC, to compliment the Western Kibbie site.
