General rules

1Rules

1. 1.1
   Competition organizers reserve the right to divide robots into subgroups based on participants’ age, skill level or any other characteristic. The referee has the authority to change a robot’s subgroup if it is considered that the robot corresponds to the level of a different subgroup.
2. 1.2
   A participant’s subgroup may be changed to a higher one within the season (if such a division exists) if, in any stage of the season’s championship, a result equal to or better than the best results of that stage’s higher-level group has been achieved.
3. 1.3
   A participant’s subgroup cannot be changed to a lower one within the season (e.g., from Pro to Beginner).
4. 1.4
   Competition organizers reserve the right to limit the number of robots per person.
5. 1.5
   If the referee suspects cheating, they have the right to inspect the participant’s robot. Refusal of this inspection or the discovery of cheating will result in disqualification.
6. 1.6
   NB! Communication with the referee takes place only in Latvian or English.
7. 1.7
   NB! Rude behaviour or failure to comply with the referee’s decisions is not permitted, and the referee has the right to disqualify a participant without prior warning.
8. 1.8
   NB! Changes to the rules or their cancellation may be made at the decision of the competition organizers.
9. 1.9
   NB! In case of ambiguities, the rules are to be interpreted according to their essence rather than their letter. The final decision on compliance rests with the competition referees.
