Okay Kent, you asked for it.

We're going to be running the "NPX Manufacturers Cup Series" at this and other Florida events this season. NPX will award the winning team at each event with a package of wetsuits, tops, and boardshorts worth over $1,000. But more importantly, bragging rights are at stake!

Here are the rules:
-----------------------------------------------
Teams:
-Whichever brand kite you're flying that day is the team you're on. If you finish the race on a North, you're on the North team.
-You don't need to sign up for this part of the competition, you'll be included automatically.
-You don't need to be a pro or sponsored by any kite company, everyone is a participant.

4 Categories:
-Top Man (Between 18 and 39 years old)
-Top Master (Over 40 years old)
-Top Woman
-Top Junior (Junior is under 18 years old)

3 Score: Top 3 categories are added to get lowest score.

Here's an example:

Team Slingshot:
Top Man: 3rd Place Overall
Top Master: 7th Place Overall
Top Woman: 12th Place Overall
Top Junior: 30th Place Overall
Total Score: 22 (3 + 7 + 12, Junior is dropped)

If a team does not have a finisher in 3 categories, they'll take a "Last Place + 1" score. For example:

45 finishers total

Team Best:
Top Man: 2nd Place
Top Woman: 5th Place
No Master finisher
No Junior finisher
Total Score: 53 (2 + 5 + 46)

For this event, 60 mile finishers will be counted only.

If anyone has any questions, please post them here. Best of luck!

I know that everyone is looking forward to this Event/Race, and y'all have no idea how much I am too, since I did not even make it all the way last year...lol..I am having a very small problem, but I know with all the people coming, that this small problem will be taken care of...I need Volunteer's..I am looking for at least 8 people, and these people will be given jobs to do at the Event/Race...i.e, keeping time, help land kites, collect money from the kiteboarders for the Event/Race and for T-shirts, etc..I will need 4 people at the 30 mile finish, and 4 people at the 60 mile finish..Any help afterwards at the Trophy Presentation would be helpful too..

[Josh]

I'll be bringing at least one volunteer with me, Leslye. She said she'll be happy to help keep times or sign people up, but she can't land kites. I'll see if I can round up some more.
