All competitors and their supporters will be welcomed to registration from 16:00, followed by the event briefing at 19:30. During the briefing the task committee and organisers will discuss local weather and possible route options. The technical support team will demonstrate the tracking systems and the safety support systems will be discussed. A local knowledge expert will discuss the complex mountain systems and how the sea breeze will affect the area during the competition, this will help you with your route selection.

Friday:
Competitors are required to report to collect their trackers at 06:30 on the Friday of the event. The task committee may elect to have a confirmatory briefing at 07:30 in which case all participants will be informed by SMS/group chat facility.
The event will begin at 08:00. Any change to this plan will be shared by SMS/group chat facility.
During event hours, the pilot can only elect to walk or fly. No other form of transport is allowed.
A compulsory over-night rest period begins at 21:00 on Friday. All competitors need to stop flying by 20:00 (obligatory land-by time) and report in their last position to the event organisers by 21:00.
Pilots should attempt to send a text message “ALL OK” after their 21:00 end-of-day, to help assure the organisers and their supporter of their safety.
During the night, the pilot can choose to either camp out, vol-biv style, or to spend the night in a hotel, house, van etc. During the obligatory rest period, from 21:00 Friday until 07:00 Saturday, the pilot can move using any form of transport.

Competitors who carry all their own kit and whom spend the night out in the hills with no support will be deemed to be competing in the vol-biv competition. Pilots must self-declare if they are camping out, vol-biv style during registration.

Saturday:
At 07:00 on the following day, the pilot must then report back to within 400 meters of the place they left on the previous day, where they can continue the event. While they must start from within 400m of the spot they were at the previous evening, they must not start until 07:00, but can choose to leave later.

The 2-day event finishes at 16:00 on Saturday, and all competitors must sign in on the athletes board.
Late finishers will be treated as follows:
– 10 points will be deducted from the pilot score for each ten minutes of lateness. The 1st second past 16:00 results in 10 points being deducted, 20 at 10 minutes and 1 second, up to 60 points at 4:50 and 1 second.
– Over an hour late scores ZERO.
For the remaining points to be valid for scoring, all competitors must report back to the event HQ and sign the athletes board before 17:00 on the Saturday at the latest.
In any case where a competitor cannot make it back by 17:00 on Saturday they must call in and report back by this time. However, all their points will be forfeited.
Any competitor may quit the event any time. However, they must inform the event organisers of it and must return their competition tracker to the event HQ. Failure to report quitting or return their tracker could disbar the participant from future events!!
