We (the F3-RES class promoters) have decided to run an annual league to encourage entries into the 2m Hi-Start Challenge events. The league will end after closure of the final Challenge that was started in 2017. I have offered to maintain the league and we have established a simple table with scores calculated by normalising submitted scores. We expect that there will be about 15 challenges through the year. The top 6 individual normalised scores will count to the final score so there is plenty of time to get involved. Basic Rules Scores reported in seconds and are collected from the BARCS 2m Hi-Start Challenge posts on BARCS Forum. Please submit your score on the Challenge posting - even if it's below the current high score. (This also shows that models are being flown) Individual challenge score is normalised from "Entrants best submitted score for the Challenge/Best Submitted Score*100" for each Challenge period Total Annual Aggregated Score will be the top 6 Normalised scores. In the event of a tie then the 7th Normalised score will count and so on
