Classes
IMAC contests are segregated into five class levels with an optional sixth class at some events. In addition to known programs, a pilot is given unknown programs the day of the competition that can only be attempted once (except the basic class, which does not fly unknowns). If a contestant wins five contests in a season, they are required to advance to the next higher class at the beginning of the new season.

Famous quotes containing the word classes:
“There were three classes of inhabitants who either frequent or inhabit the country which we had now entered: first, the loggers, who, for a part of the year, the winter and spring, are far the most numerous, but in the summer, except for a few explorers for timber, completely desert it; second, the few settlers I have named, the only permanent inhabitants, who live on the verge of it, and help raise supplies for the former; third, the hunters, mostly Indians, who range over it in their season.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
