AERIAL DRONE COMPETITION PRO • RECF
<SS10> Finish your Piloting Match early. Teams that have a non-zero score in all of the other scoring categories available for Piloting Skills Matches can elect to end their Piloting Match early and record a Piloting Skills Match Stop Time. If a Team fails to Score one or more of the categories, then a Match Stop Time of zero will be used. The number of points will be awarded based on the recorded Match Stop Time. There are no points awarded for ending a Match early in an Autonomous Skills Match. See <PM3> for Match Stop Time details. The Match Stop Time is rounded down to the nearest even number. For example, if controllers are set down when the displayed time is 11 seconds, the Match Stop Time is recorded as 10 seconds. If a Team does not finish the Match early, they receive a default Match Stop Time of 0 seconds.
