Every day is one round, and one round can't be held over multiple days; this is to stop confusion over 2 day competitions when some teams (especially the smaller clubs) can only fly a team for a single day.

A weekend will consist of 2 one day rounds. These will have to be logged as separate entries on the website, and teams can join one or both rounds.

There will no longer be a semi-final round held mid way through the season. This is because in years with poor weather for flying, it could be difficult for teams to fly any rounds before the end of May, and teams are unable to go further in the competition due to missing out on the one flyable weekend of the year so far. This means that the competition season is extended to allow more clubs to get in qualifying rounds.

The top six teams scoring the most points before the qualifying date will go through to the final plus one discretionary place. No correspondence will be entered into. All clubs will have to actively compete to achieve a place in the final.

To reach the final each finalist team member must have flown in at least one qualifying round. This is to encourage the teams to compete in the final with the keenest and most enthusiastic pilots and not field their best pilots for the final who haven't supported the team throughout the rest of the season.

Tandem pilots may fly in rounds, but will only score as an individual for the club. Only the team’s four highest scoring pilot’s points will count towards the total for the round.

Each round gives a maximum of 1000 points to the highest scoring team, and the remaining teams have their score proportionally calculated on the ratio between their score and the winning score.

The team's total score over the competition is based on their top six scores from the qualifying rounds. The top six teams scoring the most points before the qualifying date will go through to the final.

Teams may compete in more than 6 rounds, but only their top six scores will qualify. This is to encourage the teams to keep competing against a greater range of other teams throughout the year.

To validate a round three teams must be in attendance from different clubs. Teams can compete and score against other teams more than once.
