There is now a new Bonus system of points to be added to the final score. This comprises of the following:

Vintage bonus (50 points max) goes like this . . . . .

Pre 1940 subject gets 50 points.
Pre 1941 subject gets 48 points.
Pre 1942 subject gets 46 points.
Pre 1943 subject gets 44 points.
.
.
Pre 1963 subject gets 4 points.
Pre 1964 subject gets 2 points.
from 1965 on subject gets 0 points.

This system will be based on the recorded first flight of the subject and mark or the subject as defined in the Jane's Aviation Book.



Originality bonus (50 points max) goes like this . . . . .

If the subject you are choosing to fly at this JWM has been entered and scorred at the last 2 JWM's then the pionts are as follows:

13 subjects and more gets 0 points.
12 subjects gets 2 points.
11 subjects gets 6 points.
.
.
.
2 subjects gets 42 points.
1 subject gets 46 points.
0 subjects gets 50 points.

Designer bonus (50 points max) goes like this . . . . .

Full composite kit gets 0 points.
Traditional kit (with foam or built-up wings) gets 10 points.
Own design kit prototype gets 30 points
One off own design gets 50 points.

It was decided by the IJMC to undercompensate rather than over compensate these bonus pionts so the IJMC/JWM wouldn't face the problems the FAI/F4C did with the bonus's awarded to biplanes in the past and the problems it caused. It has been added to the scoring system to in someway encourage new designs and older type aircraft at the JWM rather than just BAE Hawks, L-39s and F-15's as seen at the past JWM




Yes it is Dave.
