SCORING The referee will score the match while the drone is flying. It is recommended that the referee verbally confirms tasks that are successfully completed by the drone as it goes through the course; for example, by saying aloud “Through the keyhole gate,” or “Completed arch gate loop” as the task is scored. It is recommended that the co-pilot of the team stand next to the referee to confirm these tasks as they happen.
