Goal: The goal of the contest is to safely and successfully fly one rocket with D, E, and F motors in 2010, to the highest combined altitude for the 3 flights.

1. The rocket shall be identical for all 3 flights. The only allowable differences between the 3 flight configurations are the motors, and any necessary motor adapters. A motor adapter is not allowed for the F impulse flight.
2. The altitude for each flight shall be measured by a commercial barometric altimeter that is on the Tripoli-approved list of altimeters.
3. The entry fee is $20, which must be paid before the first flight. The entry fee covers one flyer for the duration of the 2010 Hi-DEF triple shot contest.
4. The three flights can be performed in any order.
5. In the event of damage during a flight that requires repair, the rocket is disqualified, and any flights leading up to the failure do not count toward future entries. The same rocket may be re-entered after repair, but the repaired rocket starts with a clean slate.
6. Before each flight that counts toward the total, the hi-DEF triple shot contest must be noted on the flight card.
7. After a successful flight, the rocket's reported altitude will be observed by at least 2 NCR members, and the rocket's mass will be measured with the motor (and motor adapters, if necessary) unloaded. The unloaded mass must match for all three flights within 5%.
8. All flights must take place at an NCR-sanctioned event at an NCR launch site (Pawnee North site or Atlas site)
9. The winning flyer will collect a prize consisting of 100% of the entry fees collected from all flyers participating and will be awarded at the 2011 NCR annual meeting.
