    Race fees for
            the year 2004: $100.- / bird to be paid no
            later than March 31, 2004.  100% of your entry
            fees are returned to you as prize money. There are
            perch fees of $25.- / bird. The birds competing will be those who are remaining from 2003 plus a few late bred youngsters sent in by some fanciers.
			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.
    


    Race
        schedule for the year 2004:
    

            June 06,
        2004: ca. 3 hours on the wing
    June 13, 
		2004: ca. 5 hours on the wing
    June 20,
        2004: ca. 7 hours on the wing
    July 04, 
		2004: 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. 7 to 9 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.
