As you know, the 'goal' of the event is to fly IFR between five Sound-area airports. You can pick any one of the five event fields as your starting location (unless you pre-registered, in which case it's listed below).. Start there, and then fly to the next airport on your route, so you make a big circle around the Sound. PLEASE make sure and file the routings listed below -- otherwise you might get delayed, and might not have time to finish the event!
The event officially starts at 1300PST/2100Z. You can get IFR clearance before then, but no taxi instructions will be given until then.
The event officially ends at 1700PST/0100Z. When that time comes, if you're not already cleared for an approach, you can certainly still land & continue flying, but you won't be dealt any more cards. Cards WILL be dealt to pilots who are already cleared for an approach.
When you complete your hand, you're welcome to fly around more, but please be patient as priority will be given to pilots who haven't finished yet.
