MISSION 2024 ECLIPSE COMPETITION MANUAL
Section 4 Teamwork Mission Rules, continued
<TM14> Teams must clearly identify their team color during a match. Teams must identify their team color on their drone for each match using the following methods: CoDrone EDU - Teams must change the light on the top of the drone to red or blue to represent their team color for the match. Parrot Mambo - Teams can use a snap-on building block or piece of red/blue tape on the top of the drone that is visible to referees. <TM15> Teamwork matches will occur according to the official match schedule. Teamwork matches follow the match schedule that is provided to teams the day of the competition. This schedule will indicate alliance partners, qualifying match times, assigned team/drone colors, and which field the match will be played on. The match schedule is subject to change at the Event Partner’s discretion.
<TM16> Each team will be scheduled for t eamwork matches.
a. When in a tournament, the tournament must have a minimum of four (4) qualifying matches per team at local qualifying events and a minimum of eight (8) qualifying matches for a championship event. • W e recommend 6 - 8 matches for local qualifying tournaments. • We recommend 10 matches for a championship event. b.When in a league, there must be at least three (3) ranking sessions with at least one (1) week between sessions. Each session must have a minimum of two (2) qualification matches per team . <TM17> Teams are ranked by their average qualification match scores. a.When in a tournament, every team will be ranked based on the same number of qualification matches. b.When in a league, every team will be ranked based on the number of matches played. Teams that participate in less than 60% of the total matches available will be ranked below teams that participate in at least 60% of the total matches available (e.g., if the league offers 3 ranking sessions with 4 qualification matches per team, teams that participate in 8 or more matches will be ranked higher than teams who participate in 7 or fewer matches). Being a no-show to a match that a team is scheduled in still constitutes participation for these calculations. c.In some cases, a team will be asked to play an additional qualification match. The extra match will be identified on the match schedule with an asterisk and will not impact the team’s ranking (or participation for leagues). Teams are reminded that <G1> is always in effect and teams are expected to behave as if the additional qualification match counts.
