Goblin (Noun) gŏb′lĭn
A) An ugly or grotesque sprite that is usually mischievous and sometimes
evil and malicious
B) A shortish 4 fin rocket, typically identified by a large motor relative
to the size of the rocket. Examples include PoleCat Goblin, Loc Goblin,
scratch built goblins, rockets with goblin like parameters. Not to be confused
with squat.

What is the Goblin Event
The Goblin Event will be a 'not so mass' launch of an entire range full of
Goblins at June Rocstock / LDRS. Goblins will be launched in groups each up to
the safe, and compliant total ISP. Any rocket meeting the requirements of B or
C above can fly.
There will be three prizes for;
1) highest total thrust to rocket weight
2) highest peak thrust to weight
3) Most Goblinish (decided by a board of experts)
If you want to fly in the event, email me (put goblin in the subject);
diameter
motor to be used - include total impulse
rail - or rod(what size)

Times and details will come before the event.
