Form And Line Reference	PART I, LINE 2:	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	ROCKET CONTEST CRITERIA FOR WINNING PLACES IN THE FINAL FLY-OFF OF THE COMPETITION WILL BE DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF HOW CLOSE THE PORTION OF THE ROCKET CONTAINING THE EGG COMES TO THE DESIGNATED TARGET DURATION OF 45 SECONDS AND THE DESIGNATED TARGET ALTITUDE OF 750 FEET, AS DETERMINED BY THE SUM OF THE ALTITUDE AND DURATION SCORES ABOVE. AT THE FLY-OFFS, 20 TEAMS WILL BE INVITED TO MAKE A SECOND FLIGHT AT THE LAST FLIGHT ROUND OF THE DAY, BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THEIR FIRST FLIGHTS. CASH PRIZES, WHICH ARE AWARDED TO THE TOP TEN PLACES, WILL BE AWARDED ONLY TO THOSE TEAMS THAT MAKE A SECOND FULLY QUALIFIED FLIGHT. IN THIS FINAL ROUND, ROCKETS WHICH HAVE ISSUES WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE RATE A REPLACEMENT FLIGHT UNDER TEAM AMERICA ROCKETRY CONTEST RULES #7 OR #9 WILL NOT RECEIVE A REPLACEMENT FLIGHT. THE TOP TEN FINAL PLACES WILL BE RANKED ON THE BASIS OF THE SUM OF THE SCORES FROM THE TWO QUALIFIED FLIGHTS MADE AT THE FLY-OFFS. PLACES ELEVEN UP TO ONE HUNDRED WILL BE AWARDED TO THE REMAINING TEAMS BASED ON THE SCORES FROM THEIR FIRST FLIGHT. TIES WILL RESULT IN POOLING AND EVEN SPLITTING OF THE PRIZES FOR THE AFFECTED PLACE(S) -- FOR EXAMPLE, A TWO-WAY TIE FOR 2ND PLACE WOULD RESULT IN A MERGER AND EVEN DIVISION OF THE PRIZES FOR 2ND AND 3RD PLACES. AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MAKE ALL LAST AND FINAL CONTEST DETERMINATIONS. DURATION SCORING SCORES SHALL BE BASED ON TOTAL FLIGHT DURECTION OF THE PORTION OF THE ROCKET CONTAINING THE EGG, MEASURED FROM FIST MOTION AT LIFTOFF FROM THE LAUNCH PAD UNTIL THE MOMENT OF LANDING OR UNTIL THE ROCKET CAN NO LONGER BE SEEN DUE TO DISTANCE OR TO AN OBSTACLE. TIMES MUST BE MEASURED INDEPENDENTLY BY TWO PEOPLE NOT ON THE TEAM, ONE OF WHOM IS THE OFFICIAL NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ROCKETRY-MEMBER ADULT OBSERVER, USING SEPARATE ELECTRONIC STOPWATCHES ACCURATE TO 0.01 SECONDS. THE OFFICIAL DURATION WILL BE THE AVERAGE OF THE TWO TIMES, ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST 0.01 SECOND. IF ONE STOPWATCH MALFUNCTIONS, THE REMAINING SINGLE TIME WILL BE USED. DURATION SCORES WILL BE COMPUTED BY TAKING THE ABSOLUTE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 45 SECONDS AND THE MEASURED AVERAGE FLIGHT DURATION TO THE NEAREST 1/100 SCONED (THIS DIFFERENCE IS ALWAYS A POSITIVE NUMBER, OR ZERO), AND MULTIPLYING THIS BY 2. ALTITUDE SCORING: ROCKETS MUST CONTAIN THE COMMERCIAL ELECTRONIC ALTIMETER (PERFECTFLITE MODEL ALT 15K OR ALT 15K REV 2) APPROVED FOR USE IN THE TEAM AMERICA EVENT, IN A COMPARTMENT THAT IS PROPERLY VENTED TO THE ATMOSPHERE. THE ALTIMETER MUST BE INSPECTED BY AN NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ROCKETRY OFFICIAL BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE FLIGHT, AND MAY NOT BE MODIFIED IN ANY MANNER. THE ALTIMETER MUST BE CONFIRMED BY THIS OFFICIAL TO HAVE RESET TO ZERO BEFORE FLIGHT. THE ALTITUDE OF THE PORTION OF THE ROCKET CONTAINING THE EGG, AS RECORDED BY THIS ALTIMETER, WILL BE THE SOLE BASIS FOR JUDGING THE ALTITUDE SCORE. THE SCORE WILL BE THE ABSOLUTE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 750 FEET AND THE ALTIMETER-REPORTED ALTITUDE IN FEET (THIS DIFFERENCE IS ALWAYS A POSITIVE NUMBER, OR ZERO).	ExplanationTxt
