    Race fees for
            the year 2002: $100.- / bird to be paid no
            later than at the time of shipping the birds. Enter 3
            and send another one free! 100% of your entry
            fees are returned to you as prize money. There are
            perch fees of $25.- / bird. Birds   will be accepted on the Victoria long weekend in May only.
			  Since we have only
            170 perches, it would be prudent to reserve
            your perches early for the year 2002 at http://www.albertaclassic.com/02birds/reservations.shtml .  
			All birds entered become the property of Sportsman's Open
            R.P.O. except those bought back for an additional
            $50.- at the time of shipping. Return shipping
            expenses are the owner's responsibility! All other
            birds finishing the race program will be auctioned
            off to the highest bidder right here on this site. The
            proceeds of this auction will be used entirely to
            cover the costs of organizing and conducting this
            race program. All fees paid are non- refundable in
            case of the loss of the entry regardless of the
            circumstances surrounding this loss. While visitors
            on race days are welcome, direct access to the birds
            cannot be permitted to anyone until the final
            auction. Updated results will be published here
            within a few hours after each race is closed .
    
            
    To
            summarize,
            the birds fly to one loft, are timed
            in with an electronic "Tauris"
            timer and graded according to the total
            time used in all 4 races.We use the darkening
            system. 
    

       
    Race
        schedule for the year 2002:
    
		
        
    August 25,
        2002: ca. 3 hours on the wing 
    
        
    September
        1, 2002: ca. 5 hours on the wing 
    
        
    September 8,
        2002: ca. 6 hours on the wing 
    
        
    September
        22, 2002: ca. 9 hours on the wing 
    
		
 
            
    The
            race direction is from the SE, which generally
            makes this a head wind course. The race dates are
            tentative at best as birds will not be liberated into
            unsuitable weather. The race distance to any of these
            races may also be increased due to tail winds or
            decreased due to strong head winds. We are trying to
            make this a long distance series and would
            like to have the birds work for ca. 10 hours in the
            last two races.  "Timeout" for the night is defined as the time between 1 hour after sunset and 1 hour before sunrise.
    
         
    **the bird
            which required the least time to fly all 4 races
    
All races are considered one day races unless, in the opinion of the race organizer, not enough birds return on race day.
