Blake Sea Balloons Cup 2011 Presentation and rules
******************************************

This event will take place on Sunday September 4th 2011 at 11AM SL time.
===============================================
This to make sure Europeans ( 8PM CET ) can join or watch the cup also.

For about two hours a balloon competition will take place in the Blake sea bringing together various groups of SL balloonists.

Entry to Cup is open to all groups ( aviation and sailing ) with a limit of maximum 16 balloons to avoid cluttering airports and airspace.

We want this event to be not only a Balloon Premiere but a bring together of sailors and pilots. Including pirats! :-)

Registrations will be done on a first in, first on.
The following 　★★★
must be sent out to Josh Noonan and Judy Dressler before 1PM SLT August 31st latest deadline for registrations. No entry will be accepted after this date.

There is no slot allocation per group!

Balloonists can take passengers if they wish. But only pilot will be rewarded.
Balloon must be of type hot air balloon, such as Cubey Terra's "Terra-Kojima Cirrus balloon" or similar. No engine helped balloon will be accepted.

Participants are free to display their group, or SL company logo, and texture their enveloppe to best fit for such a competition as there will be points for envelope graphics also ( 1 to 10).

A circuit has been defined as well as mandatory waypoints to be passed over.
Map of clock wise circuit is on this map:



where path is indicated by red arrows and precision landing points by a red dot.
Each respected waypoint will be rewarded by 5 points.
Departure Santa Catalina ( East taxiway, so that departing balloons do not cross the approach and landing of planes.)

Those mandatory waypoints are:

1) Blake Diego ( pass over pontoons )
2 ) Blake Tortuga ( pass between the two most eastern islands )
3 ) Union Passage ( pass above small lighthouse of the White family :-)
4 ) Blake Coast ( pass left of big white house ... )
5 ) Honah Lee Surf ( precision land on helipad and take off to 100M after )
6 ) Blake Sea - Sirens Isle
7 ) Blake Sea - Kraken
8 ) Blake Sea - Windlass
9) Blake Sea - Half Hitch ( precision land on pontoons )
10) Blake Sea - Spyglass
11) Pslande ( ! pass from North to South on sailing race line )
12 ) Blake Sea - Crows Nest ( pass right of lighthouse and precision land on helipad )
13) Nantucket Yacht Club ( go inside harbour and follow back channel )
14) Come out of Yacht Club area via Madaket
15) Blake Sea - Pacific ( ! pass sailing race line from West to East )

Arrival Santa Catalina ( East taxiway arriving from North West. Again to avoid disturbing normal path of planes. )

Above the following pirates sims:

Blake Diego, Blake Roatan, Blake Zatzai, Blake Tortuga, Union Passage, Blake Bay, Blake Coast, Blake Sea Arabian,

We ask all participants to stay above 100m not to hinder any pirates combats taking place in those sims. Even if they usually take place in Cannonade and Thunderer.

Details on the 3 precision landings:
Incoming balloons have to wait the one in front of them has made its landing and take-off. Judges will be on the spot. Pushing another balloon out of the path anywhere will cost -5 points.

Helipads (Honah Lee Surf - Crows Nest ):
==========================
On H 10 points
In Circle, not on H, 5 points
On Circle line 2 point
Outside circle no points
On a judge: -2 points

Pontoons ( Half Hitch ):
==============
On pontoon : 10 points
In water: No points
On a judge: -2 points

AVOIDING a precision landing point to gain time or pass a competitor will be sanctioned by -10 points for non sportivity.

Judges will be posted at all mandatory waypoints, race lines, and precision landing points.

The Blake Sea Balloons Cup will not just be a speed race, but also a navigation and precision landing competition. Points will be given (max 10) for best balloons enveloppes. Sum of points will reward the best SL balloonists on more criteria than speed alone.

Prizes will be given to a top 5 by addition of points for :
Respect of circuit and waypoints: Max 75 points
Precision landings: Max 30 points
Balloon enveloppe: Max 10 points
Potential Total: 115 Points.

Life Jackets are not mandatory but highly recommended to wait for SLCG rescue helicopters in case of crash at sea....

Gentlemen. Start your burners ! Get those forms in !


We hope to see a great first SL Ballloon Cup!
