First off, welcome to WOOSH!
The cheese for the Jarosch Cup event are those little mini-wheels you see at the grocery store, usually a bunch in a mesh sac. Edam, being a soft variety, is quite malleable and can be tortured into nearly any size tube.
On a side note, we are having a get-together this coming Saturday at Bong Rec. Area, you should come on out and meet the group. Flying is not an option at this point, so I guess we must eat the cheese! I heard Tim is bringing beef, too.

The cheese cubes (naturel la vache qui rit blokjes) are 0.75" (1.8 cm) per side, and weigh 0.2 ounces. The are also malleable, so can be pressed into pretty much any shape necessary to fit in small rockets.

Laat de festiviteiten beginnen ...

The 2012 Jarosch Cup competition has ended, the smoke has cleared, the cheese has been flown and eaten, and results have been tabulated and checked.

And the winner is...

Sissy S.

Congratulations, Sissy!! You have soundly beaten some of the most experienced rocketeers in the midwest, and the Jarosch Cup is yours to proudly display for the following year. You also get to plan and host next year's competition. We are all looking forward to see what you come up with, and to compete in the skies over Southeastern Wisconsin once again for the cherished trophy.
