Gentlemen, since there is a prize for the event (Thank you FlyTampa), we’re going to need some rules here for who wins.
If only one airfield or less are IFR during the event, VFR time limit rules apply. You must be on the ground at the 4th airport and get your 5th card by 4pm PDT, period. Dealer stops at 4pm.
Since it may take much longer to run the game IFR given the proximity of the airports and number of planes involved, there will be a slightly longer deadline. You must call for* your clearance prior to 4pm PDT to qualify for the card at your destination. Even though you may land and taxi after 4pm, you can still call the dealer for your card if you called for* your clearance from the departure field before 4pm PDT. The dealer will know when you got your clearance from the controllers at that airport, no cheating :P (* you have to be at the airport to call for clearance, no calling en route to try and sneak another clearance in, yeah yeah, you never would have tried that, right?)
You may still win with less than 5 cards if the cards you do have make a good enough hand to win. If all 5 event airports are IFR on Sunday, there is a chance no one will get all 5 cards, so just keep flying and get as many as you can.
The ZSE Chief will determine the winner based on fair interpretation of the rules above. Be friendly and have fun out there. If something happens that isn’t covered by the rules, the Chief will make the fairest decision on the winner possible.
