Points races for 2024 are nearly finished after the 2024 Fall Follies on Oct. 12-13 in Portland, Ore. Aerobatics, Combat and Racing events held there finished up all but the Racing scoring for the season.

Also at Portland, the winner of the 2024 Don McClave Vintage Stunt Trophy was announced.  Bob Welch of Federal Way, Wash., achieved the honor that is awarded to the top competitor in the Flying Lines standings in combined Old-Time and Classic Stunt.  Bob scored points in both events. Bob was not present in Portland, so Randy Ling accepted the award on his behalf and delivered it to him at home.

The Vintage Stunt Trophy was originated and sponsored by the late Don McClave.  Since his death it has been sponsored by Flying Lines.

The last contest to be counted in the standings, as currently scheduled, will be the After Thanksgiving Race in Portland, Ore., on Nov. 30. See Where the Action Is for details of all upcoming Northwest contests.

For details of how the Pacific Northwest control-line competition standings are compiled, see details at the bottom of the page.

2024 Individual Event Standings

Contests counted: April 26-28, Portland, Ore.; May 24-25-26, Roseburg, Ore.; June 22-23, Auburn, Wash.; Sept, 7-8, Auburn, Wash.; Oct. 12-13, Portland, Ore.

The Northwest standings system

Flying Lines keeps track of standings in all AMA rulebook and Northwest official events, in all Northwest sanctioned contests.

Your FL editors do their best to keep up with the results, but contest directors can help keep the standings up to date by making sure to send the results to FL immediately after the contest. If you spot errors, please let us know.

Results must include the placing in each event through fourth place and the report also must list the number of contestants in the event, in order for the point standings to be counted accurately.

Also, please include in your report the hometown of the contestants. Only Northwest residents are counted in the standings (AMA Dist. XI and British Columbia). The score of each contestant also should be listed for general reporting purposes and for checking against the Northwest records.

If you flew in a contest that doesn't appear to be counted, contact the contest director or Flying Lines.

How the points are compiled:

Who is eligible to score points: Any resident of AMA District XI or British Columbia. AMA Dist. XI includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.
What events are counted: Official AMA rulebook events, official Northwest rules events (see Northwest Rules for a list) and official special interest group events such as PAMPA's Classic Stunt and Old-Time Stunt or NASS Sport Jet Speed.
What contests count in the standings: All contests taking place within Dist. XI or British Columbia, sanctioned by the Academy of Model Aeronautics or MAAC.
How the points are awarded: Points are awarded to the top four placers in any event. First place is worth the number of entries in the event; second place is number of entries minus 1; third place is number of entries minus 2; fourth place is number of entries minus 3. Example: If there are 12 entries, first place gets 12 points, second place 11, third place 10, fourth place 9.
Overall standings: In events with multiple classes, an overall points tally also is kept. In Speed and Scale, all classes are combined.
Special notes: Precision Aerobatics fliers' scores are based on the total number of contestants across the four skill classes. When an individual is allowed more than one entry in a single event, only the highest-placing score shall be counted. Events run by nonstandard rules, including record-ratio events, will be counted only in the overall standings for the category.
