AERIAL DRONE COMPETITION • REC FOUNDATION
c . When a Team qualifies for a Regional Championship, the Students on the Team attending the Championship are expected to be the same Students on the Team that was awarded the spot. Students can be added as support to the Team, but may not be added as a Flight Team Member. i. An exception is allowed if only one member of the Team is able to attend the event. The Team can make a single substitution of a Flight Team Member for the Championship event with another Student, even if that Student has competed on a different Team. This Student will now be on this new Team and may not substitute back to the original Team during the season. Teams cannot “borrow” Students from other Teams to serve as Flight Team Members, This includes Visual Observers. However, Teams can add permanent members throughout the season under the guidelines of this rule. Event Partners should keep <G3> in mind and apply common sense when enforcing this rule. The intent is not to penalize a Team that experiences changes in Team members during the season due to illness, school transfers, internal conflicts, or similar circumstances. Event Partners and Referees are not expected to track every Student who has ever served as a Flight Team Member. Instead, this rule is meant to prevent the deliberate loaning or sharing of Team members solely to gain a competitive advantage.
