Welcome to the Official Notice Board

This blog will service as the Electronic Notice Board for the 2016 Balloon Federation of America US Women's National Hot Air Balloon Championship to be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The event will begin Friday, September 30 and conclude with an awards ceremony on Thursday, October 6th.

Pilots registering are expected to remain and participate for the entire duration of the event as required by the HACD Code of Conduct explained in Appendix C. With the exception of family emergencies, medical situations and other obvious events outside of the pilot’s control, early departure from the event carries financial penalties and may include, regardless of NEL standing, DQ from State, Regional, National and International competition for the next year. Specifics of these regulations are contained in Appendix C and D, Section VI, and Appendix E.
