^§ The America Rocketry Challenge (TARC)

‡ A Class, 4 cup Styrofoam rocket, duration event (first motion to first part touchdown). The competitors will be divided into the four normal NAR Classes (A, B, C & D) by age or team. There will be two timers per launch and the individual timer results will be averaged. The competitor can fly the rocket twice for a summation of both flights times for points. The rocket must be returned and the motor inspected by an official.

⋅ The rocket is to be primary made up of four (minimum) Styrofoam cups, normal motor mounts, centering rings, launch lugs, fins (if necessary), etc. The cups can be of any standard commonalty available size 8 oz or larger but, all cups have to be the same size throughout the rocket. The rocket can be made in any configuration and have any type of recovery (parachute, streamer, or tumble/drag). Small holes (diameter of the motor mount/launch lug) can be cut in the cups, to facilitate a motor mount mounting, launch lug or recovery only but, not to reduce the mass of the rocket. All parts must be returned to the ground attached to each other, no ejected motors or separate cup tumble recovery.
