REMEMBER: This is an additional flight aid. The Paper map is the official map for the event. We have gone to great effort to make this map as accurate as we can. We also make a serious attempt to keep this map updated as often as the official "Paper Map" is amended. However the official event "Paper Map" is the official event map.

Competition Marker and Target Specs
By hotairballoonist in Balloon Related Resources
This is the official specifications for competition markers and competition targets.
To Create the markers we suggest a Hot Knife be used to seal the edges of the markers so they do not fray from use. We also make the entire marker from one strip of fabric. We use a 6 mil plastic bag inside the weighted portion of the marker. The plastic bag is 3inches long and two inches wide. We fold over the top of the zipper portion so as to prevent the force of impact opening the plastic bag. We also insert the plastic bag with the zipper portion in a vertical position. The sides of the zippered plastic bag are cut at the factory and are likely to split open on impact. By placing the plastic bag in a vertical position the impact forces are on the folded section and on the bottom of the bag where the plastic is uncut. We weigh the fabric strips for each color since the weight of the colors are different and we adjust the sand placed inside of the plastic bags to adjust for the weight differences in fabric color. The process of weighing the strips is to take 10 strips of fabric and average them. We also do this with the plastic bags and add .10 grams for the stitching. The end result is a marker that is within 1/100's of a gram of the 77 gram goal.
