The final rules texts will be published as soon as possible. In the meantime, please take a few minutes to review the changes summary document as the changes affect who may enter contests, how tasks are flown, and how tasks are scored.

Please make sure your CDs and Scorers are briefed on the changes.

We would greatly prefer that no one get a surprise after arriving at a contest or flying a task.

All the best for a year of fast, fun and safe contests,

John Godfrey (QT), RC Chair
