7. Why are adults allowed to compete?
Allowing adults to compete opens the contest to parent / child events. We firmly believe that many adults who enter will want to bring more kids into rocketry thus meeting our goal.

At least 12 contestants are needed for a local event. There is no maximum number of contestants.
11. Why is english rather than metric measurement used?
Most common measuring devices (tapes, wheels, etc.) in the US are in the english (inches, feet) system. You may use metric measure for your contest. However, measurements must be accurately converted to english for the National Entry Form.
