The rocket that lands closest to the target centre gets the best score. (See diagram below). Any rocket that lands outside a radius of 7m will be declared Out Of Range.
At the time of launch, each competitor may adjust the volume of water, air pressure, launch angle and launch direction. There is no limit on water volume but air pressure must not exceed 75psi (5 bars).
Each competitor will be given an opportunity to conduct one (1) test launch prior to the competition.
During the competition, each competitor will be given opportunity to conduct two (2) launches. Exact distance from the point of impact to the centre of target will be measured. The result of the best launch will be recorded.
There will be three (3) launchers, and the competitor will launch one (1) rocket at a time. The other 2 competitors can prepare their rockets and wait for their turn. The organizer will provide the launchers to the competitors for each of their launches.
In order to reduce the possibility of error, the competitors will be assigned specific launchers. They can practice with the assigned launchers during the test launching.
The competitor who achieves the highest score, i.e. closet to the center of the target after 2 launches will be declared the winner of the Launch Competition.
In case of a draw, the second launch will be taken into consideration to determine the winner between the two competitors.
