The honorable FIRST competitor of the Championship will be drawn at 08:30 on Oct. 28.
The Championship Director will call out the next five competitors in the starting order to go to the waiting area. Once the competitor is called by the Championship Director to start, the competitor or his helper is to launch the model within 30 seconds. DNS will apply if the model is not launched within 30 seconds.
Attempt: DNF will apply if the model crashed during the attempt.
Safety line: Any part of the model crossing safety line during the measured flight will be penalized for 100 points. This will be judged by the Championship director without optical device.
Landing Area: If any part of the model landed outside the assigned landing area, the flight is official but gets zero score.
Passing of Base A and B is based on the fuselage nose of the model.
Upon completion of his round, the competitor must pull up and leave the speed course as soon as possible by start walking toward the landing area. Once the competitor crossed the safety line, 100 points will be penalized if the model entered the speed course again.

Half-round scoring might apply if we are able to have merely half of the competitors completing their rounds before dark on the first 2 days. The remaining half of the round will be carried out the following morning. 1,000 points will be assigned to the best run of each half-round. Combined scoring of both half-rounds will be used as the scores of the round.
FAI rules for F3F will be observed and applied by the Championship. Director when applicable.
Practice is not allowed between 07:00 and 18:00 during Championship dates (Oct. 28-30).
Looking forward to see you all in Taiwan.
