The event will feature a swap meet, so bring kits you want to sell or trade and pick a parking spot. There is NO CHARGE for the swap meet, so come on out and set up your tailgate table!
NOTE: If you’re planning on selling your wares, be forewarned that it’s both first-come, first-served, AND all vendors and tailgaters will have to set up outside, so plan accordingly. Eagle Squadron will not be liable for lost or stolen goods, merchandise, models or damage caused by contestants or Mother Nature!
Once Again, We’re Working With Limited SpaceWith Limited Categories.
Like last year, this event will be small in scope. Because of the limited space we have available for contest entries, we have reduced the overall number of main categories, but we have introduced more sub-categories to the aircraft, armor, and automotive sections!
Registration Details
$15 per entrant, for the first 5 models. Then it’s $2 for each additional model with only 1 model per category.
We believe that this limitation will help us to work within a smaller space, plus, it helps avoid sweeps in any category.
Despite the smaller venue and categories, MiniCon 2022 will follow judging guidelines and regulations as described in the IPMS/USA competition handbook available online at www.ipmsusa.org. Categories have been set up to match IPMS guidelines where possible. The head judge reserves the right to split. A No Sweeps rule is in effect. A unique winner will be selected within each category for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards. The contest is open to all scale models except those winning a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place finish at the IPMS Nationals or a 1st place finish at an IPMS Regional contest.
Registration 9:00am to Noon.
