Miniature AFV Association
|
1. The MAFVA National Championships are open to members of the Miniature AFV Association only - the organisers reserve the right to request sight of prospective entrants’ membership cards. It will be possible to join the Association on the day of the Championships at the MAFVA control desk.
|
| 2. The
Open Competition is open to all entrants.
|
| 3. Bases
must not exceed four square feet in area (i.e. 576 sq. In.) for any
entry - this is in order to leave adequate space for other models.
Other than in classes 10, 20, 22, 23, 24 or 25, a model
should not extend more than 3” (large scale) or 1.5” (small
scale) beyond the model’s basic structure for similar reasons.
|
| 4. Juniors
are those aged 16 or under
on the day of the competition judging.
|
| 5. In
the event that a class contains less than three entries, the
organisers may, at their discretion, combine such classes with
others deemed to be of a similar nature in order to maintain
competition. Entrants
are requested to ensure that entries are sufficiently robust to
permit this although efforts will be made to arrange for any such
movements to be carried out by the entrant.
|
| 6. Whilst
the organisers will take reasonable care to protect entries from
damage and stewards will be on duty to assist in this, no liability
can be accepted by the organisers for any damage which occurs during
the period of the show.
|
| 7. Other
than in classes 10, 20, 22, 23, 24 or 25, a maximum of one figure
not mounted on the vehicle may be present.
Such a figure should be passive only (i.e. not engaged in any
activity) otherwise the entry would be deemed a diorama.
Figures on the vehicle, so long as they are in positions in
which they would be expected to travel, are permitted in all
classes.
|
| 8. Any
vehicle may tow a small single-axle trailer.
|
| 9. A
vehicle is defined as one which is either self-propelled by means of
an engine, or horse-drawn.
|
| 10. Judging
will be by one or more panels of experienced modellers selected by
the organisers on the basis of their experience and depth and
breadth of knowledge. At
least three judges will assess each class.
|
| 11. Class
winners and the Best of Show winner will each receive a certificate
and trophy. Those placed
second and third in classes will each receive a certificate.
|
|
In the event of a dispute, the decision of the organisers shall be final in all matters and no correspondence will be entered into. |
