The purposes of the International R/C Warship Combat Club, Inc. (IRCWCC) are:

1. To provide interested persons with the opportunity to associate with others interested in the hobby of radio controlled semi-scale model warship combat;

2. To promote safety, good sportsmanship and fun in semi-scale model warship combat competitions;

3. To make information available to members and others concerning the history of early 20^th Century warships, and the construction and operation of semi-scale models of those ships in simulated combat activities.

To accomplish its purposes the IRCWCC does the following:

• It offers membership to any interested person who is willing to abide by the Bylaws and Rules of the Club.
• It maintains a web site which provides access to information on the construction and operation of scale model warships equipped for R/C combat.
• It maintains and publishes guidelines for the uniform construction and operation of model warships which serve as Rules for its members and anyone wishing to construct a model warship in accordance with IRCWCC Rules.
• It sanctions events in which the participants agree to conduct R/C model warship combat in accordance with IRCWCC Rules.
• It organizes and sponsors at least one week-long “international” Annual Championship event open to all members.
• It encourages the formation of local groups interested in pursuing the construction and operation of scale model warships equipped for R/C combat in accordance with IRCWCC Rules.

Many model warship events are conducted at the local level. Although it is possible to join only the IRCWCC, most members also join with others in local groups so they can battle more frequently. Local groups can also provide opportunities for “rookies” to learn from veterans the variety of skills needed to successfully build and battle a model warship. Some local groups host building parties where novices can get hands-on training and one-on-one help with specific construction problems. Local groups also provide an informal opportunity to meet with others interested in the hobby.
