The new official NRC contest rules are in place which means that the old NAR Competition rules do not apply any more.
The only official events that are designated for the whole year are:
(copied from Contestroc)
C Egg Loft Altitude (Altimeter)
A Payload Altitude (Altimeter)
A Streamer Duration
A Helicopter Duration
1/2A Parachute Duration
1/2A Boost Glider Duration
What's significant about these six events and the format of the NRC is that all these events WILL be flown at NARAM 60 (along with 3-5 events yet to be determined by the CD) and that the NRC will allow members to fly these events as much as they want starting August 5th and ending June 30, 2018, in the lead up to NARAM 60.
