Default RE: Hosting a Combat event: How to get started?

Well, the combat event went off today very well. I don't think we did everything exactly by the book, but we sure had fun.

14 pilots flew 5 rounds, with 3 heats per round to start dwindling to two as collisions took their toll.

A couple of quick questions:

1) The AMA scoring sheet shows an optional "spot landing" score that the RCCA scoring sheet omits. Is this not a popular option?

2) Scoring for streamer remaining should only be done on the pilots original streamer, correct? Pilots don't get bonus points for bringing back opponents' streamers as well, do they? I figured that's what the AMA rules meant by 120 points max for this, you can't score more than this because you should never come back with 30' of original streamer.
