Dear eligible US Team selection voters,

For the first time in many years their will be direct pilot input into the selection of US Team members. While you are casting your ballots I would ask that you review the US Team code of conduct. Specifically the following applicable selections:

13.1.3 Courtesy. Courteous accessibility to visiting SSA members, sponsors, dignitaries and the Press.
13.1.4 Respect. Respect for the host organization, the facility, the rules of the airfield and the organization.
13.1.5 Treatment. Fair, considerate, courteous treatment of Team Management, Team Volunteers, and members of the public.
13.2.1 Highest Level. To maintain at all times a high standard of sportsmanship and fair play
13.2.6 Respect. Maintain an attitude of respect and politeness towards competitors both in the air and on the ground.
13.3 To Specifically Refrain From. To refrain from any behavior which might reflect unfavorably on the United States of America, the sport, the Team, its management, or which might bring any other pilot, official or the Team into disrepute

Asking yourself "does the person I am voting for" meet these standards will hopefully be an important part of your selection process.

Thanks for your consideration in sending a US Team we can all be proud of.
