We've been running a couple of contests up here in Region II for a long
time. For the true beginners, Aero Club Albatross has the DIY - a short
(20 - 30 miles) task that may only be done in a 1-26 or 2-33. Completely on
the honor system (ie. no logs), but hotly and fairly contested nevertheless.
You accumulate 1 point for each turnpoint rounded; maximum turnpoints for
the period (two months) wins. It's designed to be fun. Tasks often are
thematic - one month is restaraunts, another is lakes, another is towers,
etc. Also, Ron Schwartz, 1-26 champion and craftsman makes beautiful
stained glass trophies for the winners.

For the post Silver C crowd, the Governor's Cup is going into its eighth
year. Fixed course of 5 turnpoints covering around 150 miles. Your best 3
speeds of the year count; scored using handicapped performance. For 2004,
thinking of moving to a 2hr MAT with 10 mi turnpoint radius - would give
tasks from around 110 mi to 200 mi.
