⚠️ RULE ZERO – Zero Tolerance & Common Sense
In all sports, Rule ZERO applies, which states:

➤ "If you are not sure whether something is allowed, then it is probably NOT allowed."

All rules are based on common sense, the spirit of the sport, and the safety of all participants.

Any deliberate misinterpretation, violation of the meaning of the rules, or attempt to exploit gray areas for unfair advantage will not be tolerated and may lead to team disqualification from the competition.

​

🎯 GOAL

• The goal of Athletes is to perform a demonstration  drone operation lasting 3 minutes, as well as perform a precision mission to be announced on the day of the Race.

• The sport requires precision in movements, basic programming knowledge and correct calculations.

​

👥 TEAM – COACH

1. Participation in the competition is team-based, not individual.

2. Each team may consist of two (2) to three (3) members.

3. Each team must designate up to one (1) DroneTechnician. Only the Drone Technician is allowed in the waiting area or competition area. The rest of the team can watch the matches behind the control spots.

4. The team is allowed to change the designated Technician before each attempt on the track, to give all members the opportunity to be actively involved in the sport, although this is not mandatory.

5. All team members must be at least 10 years old (equivalent to 4th grade of primary school or above).

6. The team’s coach must be at least 20 years old.

7. To ensure smooth participation in the competition, the coach must have 1 assistant for every 3 teams they register in the competition.

8. Each team is allowed to have only one Drone. Changing the Drone during the competition is not allowed 

9. Teams are not allowed to share the same Drone.

10. If a team encounters a serious technical issue with their Drone, they are allowed to replace it only after permission from the Head Judges.

​

❌ Not permitted (indicative):

DJI Mini/Mavic/Air/FPV, Parrot Anafi, Autel EVO, 2S–6S FPV racers, cinewhoops >3", carbon frames without full prop protection, systems using fuel/gases, DIY / 3D-printed micro for safety reasons.

​

🧾 Scrutineering (compliance check)

• 📏 Dimensions (pass through a 20×20 cm frame).

• 🛡️ Prop guards present / securely mounted.

• 🔋 1S LiPo/LiHV battery and type verified.

• 🆘 Failsafe/kill switch test (instant cut).

• 🏷️ Control number marked on the shell.

• ⬆️ Height limit test (operator does not exceed > 2 m).

• 🦺 Safety rules (goggles, no sharp edges).

​

📮 New model addition process

     ➤ If a team wishes to use a model outside the indicative list:

1. Submit a technical sheet (model, dimensions, battery, weight, prop guards).

2. Attach photos or a short video showing measurements/guards.

3. Obtain pre-approval from the Organizing Committee at least 7 days before the event.

4. Final on-site check; if it fails, the drone does not compete.

​

🛡️ Adults Category

➤ In the adult category, DIY Drones are allowed, provided that they meet the above specifications.

​​

​

🧪 TECHNICAL CONTROL​

1. The initial technical inspection will take place on the day of the Games at a place and time to be determined by the organizers.

2. Technical control is carried out before the start of each phase of the Games.

3. Any failure of a team to arrive on time for a technical inspection of their Drone leads to the automatic exclusion of the team from the sport.

4. Only the operator is responsible for presenting the team's Drone for technical inspection.

5. The technical inspection includes the inspection of the Drone according to the conditions described above in the Drone Categories section.

6. In the event that teams have drones that do not meet the above characteristics (e.g. they are smaller or larger in size or weight) and are interested in taking part in the demonstrations, they are requested to contact the Organizing Committee, giving the technical characteristics of the Drone . The Organizing Committee will decide whether the specific Drone will be allowed to participate.

7. All participating drones are allowed to compete only after passing the inspection. This check will be carried out before the first flight and covers all the points listed below.

8. The drone must demonstrate its ability to remain at a flight height of 1 - 2 m without human intervention regarding height.

9. The ability to safely control the drone must be demonstrated by the technician who will operate the robot during the competition (drone operator).

10. Drones must comply with all safety and security requirements.

11. After the inpection the referees will provide the Drone with a unique ID Number.

🧩 FLOOR  DESIGN

➤ Track Dimensions: The track is rectangular, measuring 4 meters by 6 meters.

➤ Track Enclosure: The track is enclosed with net around the perimeter for safety reasons.

• There are objects on the runway where the drone must pass through, over, or take off or land on.

• Objects will not be suspended but at various heights from the floor.

• On the track there can be up to 4 bases with dimensions 0.30 length x 0.30 width and different heights: 0.30cm - 0.50cm - 0.80cm - 1m.

• On the track there can be up to 4 hoops with a diameter of 0.50cm to 0.65cm and in different heights: 0.20cm - 0.40cm - 0.70cm - 0.90cm.

• On the runway there are always 2 points/signs measuring 0.40cm x 0.40cm in two opposite corners designated as take-off and landing points.

• The positions and number of objects on the track will be revealed on the day of the Games.
