General Guidelines

1. All students and GMs must pay attention and follow all rules set by the Fenworks Staff.
2. Never go onto the FPV course unless a Fenworks Staff member says you can.
3. Ensure your safety with FPV drones and only use them in a designated netted area. Also, ensure that you turn off the motors whenever the drone is not in use.
4. NEVER PUT A BATTERY IN A DRONE, UNLESS SPECIFIED BY A GM OR FENWORKS STAFF. If a drone is plugged in, it can interfere with the radio frequency it emits, potentially disrupting FPV racing.
5. Each racer is allowed to have a Visual Observer (VO) sit next to them during their race. This can either be another student or a GM. The VO can help tell them the track gate order or any other helpful information. If a racer chooses a VO, any issues with that VO are the racer’s responsibility. Fenworks will not restart a match or adjust the times if a VO provides incorrect information.

FPV Equipment

1. Drone: TinyHawk 3 and 3+ drones are allowed. Drones must be unmodified from their factory state. They will be inspected before races to ensure they meet this standard. Fenworks may approve certain exceptions, provided they do not give an unfair advantage. Please reach out to us before the tournament for approval or notify us during the tournament.
2. Controller and FPV Goggles: Racers are permitted to use controllers and FPV goggles from other brands, provided they do not provide an unfair advantage. Please reach out to Fenworks in advance of the tournament to obtain approval or notify us during the tournament. All controllers and FPV Goggles will be inspected before flight.
3. Schools are allowed to use markers, stickers, tape, and other similar materials to mark their drones.

Racing Format

1. All racers will have the opportunity to race in at least one match. The match is a minimum 3 wins game series.
2. All races will consist of three (3) laps around the course. Finishing placement (1st- 3rd place) for each game will be used for advancement. In the event of any penalties, finishing time with penalties will be used.
3. After each game, Students are to sit and wait for a Fenworks Representative to record their score.

Racing Rules

1. All drones will take off from the launch pad. Racers will start at the sound of the whistle. All racers must start simultaneously in each race. In the event of a misstart, Fenworks will stop the race and restart it. At Fenworks’ discretion, if a racer intentionally starts before the designated start time, they will be subject to disqualification. A restart of the game will also occur if two drones collide before reaching the first obstacle.
2. Students must follow the designated track layout and pass through all gates and checkpoints in the correct order. If a student misses a gate or checkpoint, they must turn around and correctly pass through the missed gate or checkpoint before continuing the race.
   1. If a student misses an obstacle and does not return to it or proceed through it according to the course map, a 5-second penalty will be added to their time. Missed obstacles will be counted every lap. (ex. If they miss one obstacle on lap one, but make it to lap two, it is just a 5-second penalty. If they miss it on all three laps, it will result in a 15-second penalty.)
   2. If a student misses three or more obstacles, they will receive a “DNF” (Did Not Finish).
3. Any intentional contact with other racers’ drones, cutting corners, or taking shortcuts will result in disqualification for the offending pilot. For the pilot of the drone that got hit, a re-flight for just that race will take place, and finishing times will be used to determine the winner of that game.
4. If a drone crashes, the racer is allowed to use turtle mode to try to get it back into the air. If that still doesn’t work. That racer will receive a DNF. Fenworks staff will only help if the drone gets stuck in the netting.
5. Fenworks reserves the right to review race footage and disqualify racers for any unsportsmanlike conduct.
6. Anyone who doesn’t finish a race will receive a DNF (did not finish). They will be placed at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Team Scoring

• Teams will get points based on how each racer does individually.
  • 1st place in a match – 5 points
  • 2nd place in a match – 3 points
  • 3rd place in a match – 2 points
• In the event of a tie after a match between 2 individuals, both individuals will tie for 2nd place and be awarded 3 points.
• The third-place match will not count for Team Points
