Rules & Regulations

Spotters

* Every pilot must have a Spotter. Pilots "on deck" for their upcoming heat will serve as spotters for the current heat. AMA rules

Duties include:

* Keeping visual contact at all times of their assigned pilot.

* Notifying Contest Director, Race Director and Pilots of an unsafe situations.

Race Disputes

* Missed Gate or Flag

- Pilots must fly through all gates. If a gate is missed, it is the responsibility of the pilot to safely taxi around (please avoid oncoming drones) and hit the gate.

- If a pilot misses a gate or cuts a flag turn, that run is disqualified and the pilot recieves a DNF.

Flying Out of Bounds

* Scored as a DNF. No laps are tallied.

Aircraft Damaged / Not Able to Race

* If a Pilot notifies the Race Director prior to the start of the heat that he cannot race, the race director can bump the pilot to a new heat for reruns. Race Director can deny request for any reason. Pilots will get no more than one of these type of reruns.

Not Ready in Time

* At the time where the race director calls the next race heat, a 4 minute timer (approx.) should be started. The purpose of this clock is not to give pilots 4 minutes to get to the line but instead to give the race director authority to start a race without a pilot once the 4 minute mark has been reached. The race does not have to start in 4 minutes but this provides the race director with a fair measurement tool for this decision.

Race

* Pilot Jumps the Gun / Starts Early - Pilot will lose 1 Lap.

* Aircraft does not take off - Pilot Out of Race, No Rerun.

* Aircraft flips - Safety Officer should flip quads for pilots at start as long as there is no traffic in area. No Rerun.

* Crash into other aircraft. - Official Ruling - OUT, No Rerun

* Pilot loses video due to someone else plugging in and this is proven via DVR - Rerun

* Pilot Loses Video for Unknown Reason - Out

* Gate falls over, full heat rerun

Post-Race

* No celebration laps, no celebration freestyle or high-flying, no interfering with the flight lines of other pilots still racing.

Disputes

* Occasionally a pilot may request a rerun (like in the event of losing video). The Race Director is the final authority of all such disputes.
