Member Showcase

Rules and Procedures for Member Showcase

1. Maximum of 2 items may be entered into the showcase per person, additional items may be approved at discretion of showcase staff. 
2. Items must be manufactured. No shell-of-shells using pre-purchased shells, no purchased rocket motors, etc. 
3. Items must be COMPLETE and ready to load by the deadline. A leader or drop rope appropriate for the size and weight of the shell must be attached. This is to facilitate removing the shell from the gun in the event of a mis-fire. 
4. Items completed early should be stored in the manufacturing day box in boxes clearly labeled “Showcase”. 
5. This showcase is an electrically fired show. Do not attach visco. You may ematch your own shells if you wish, otherwise we will ematch them for you. We can provide you with an ematch if you  do not have one. If you ematch your item, please do not remove the shroud from the match head. Do not submit rockets with visco attached. If you need help to ematch your rockets please ask the on site Chair. 
6. LABEL YOUR DEVICE with your name and a description of the effect; this information should match what you put on the sign up sheets. Labels are provided in the manufacturing day box. Please use the packing tape provided, so labels  don’t fall off. 
7. Items not provided by the deadline in the condition described above may not be included in the showcase. It is your responsibility to come find your item after the  showcase if it is not fired and dispose of it properly. 
8. For cylinder shells, please clearly mark which direction the shell should be loaded. 
9. If you are on the fence about participating, it is best to sign up and then erase your name later if you change your mind; unanticipated last minute entries are not likely to be accommodated, whereas a withdrawal is simple.
