TOTAL PAYOUT:
After the 100 mile toss, and all birds going to first race are paid, we will know exactly how uch the total pay out will be. At that point we will post the total payout before the second race because we will be auctioning race birds up until noon the day befoer the first race (west coast time). We are like most races in the fact that we just don't know exactly how many paid entrys will go to the first race. But not like most races the guaranteed payout will not go down.
NOTE: We understand our success depends on your success.

November 11, 2012 - will be a party with catered southern BAR-B-Q,, everyone please come for fun, food and fellowship.

All races will be paid in full within 30 days of final race.
Winners will be announced on Nov. 12th. But will remain unofficial for 15 days.

The success of America's International Challenge will be determined by YOU - The flyer.

Race will stop 36 hours after release time.

Any paying position not filled within 36 hours will be divided equally with all clocked birds.

All race dates are projected only.

Prizes for all races except average speed will be clocking order.

We will pull the 9th and 10th flight on all the birds.

Loft manager has the right to refuse any person or their birds from the race.

Any participant that has sent their 5 bird team but has not paid their money ($1000.00 for activation, per team) within 10 days of receiving their team, those birds will become property of AIC race. Again this is so all AIC rules and all participants are treated exactly the same.
