Distance: 2,000m
Conditions: The Tiro Cup is awarded to the top team that is represented by both novice girls and novice boys. Each group must have at least 4 girls and 4 boys to be eligible for the traveling trophy - though you will be allowed to compete and have scores recorded in the event your team is not eligible for the award.
The winner will gain ownership of the cup for one year, after which the cup must be returned for its defense or forfeited.
The racing conditions were the same for all - loud, exciting, and nerve wracking. We executed over 10 flights of racing to accommodate over 80 novice competitors from 5 organizations. Good times for all.
