Teamwork Match A match used to determine rankings for alliance selection. Visual Observer A student on the team who helps the pilot navigate the course. Violation The act of breaking a rule in the competition manual.
• Minor Violation - A violation which does not result in a disqualification. Accidental, momentary, or otherwise non affecting violations are usually minor violations. Minor violations usually result in a verbal warning from the Head Referee during the match, which should serve to inform the team that a rule is being violated before it escalates to a major violation. • Major Violation - A violation which results in a disqualification. • Unless otherwise noted in a rule, all affecting violations are major violations. • Multiple minor violations within a match or tournament may escalate to a major violation at the Head Referee’s discretion. • Score Affecting - A violation which improves an alliance’s score at the end of a match. • Multiple violations within a match can cumulatively become score affecting. • When evaluating whether a violation was score affecting, Head Referees will focus primarily on any drone actions that were directly related to the violation. • Determining whether a violation was score affecting can only be done once the match is complete and the score has been calculated.
