Limited Entry Requirements.

We aim for approximately 300-350 runs per day. However, we reserve the right to
limit the entries to what we consider a manageable number.

Entries postmarked within a week of the opening date will be considered in
this order:

1. Troopers, Guaranteed Spot Prizes, Free Weekend Package Certificates (from
   the volunteer draws). The GSPs and FWPCs must be included with your entry.
   There are no expiry dates on these certificates - they will be honoured as
   long as we continue to hold trials.
2. First time competitors, to a minimum of 10% of total entries if the numbers
   warrant (to keep the sport growing).
3. Entries that end up on a Trooper trial waiting list two or more times
   in a row (we keep track) to a minimum of 25% of total entries
4. Volunteering. Because of the overwhelming response to our trials, volunteers and hard
   workers will be given priority as they are what keep the trials moving along
   while still having a good time. We do make note of these people through the
   volunteer sign-up sheets.

If we have not reached our manageable run limit with 1 to 4, we will pull
randomly from the remaining entries.

If we have to create a waiting list, any trial openings will be offered to
the waiting list in the order of the postage date stamp or mark.
