Two Drone Racing World Cup events may be organized every year for any country. For a country which extends over more than three time zones, one World Cup contest may be organized within each time zone of the country with a maximum of four events for the country.

Every NAC may enter a team including a tem manager, maximum five individual competitors (providing that at least one competitor is Female and at least one is Junior), helpers and a supporter. The team manager may be a dedicated person or one of the competitors of the team.

Helper

Any competitor may be a helper of other competitors from any country. The team manager may also act as helper for the competitors of its national team. In addition, dedicated helper(s) may be registered subject to limit to one helper maximum per competitor.

Note: Helper and supporter are two different profiles with same entry fee amount but not the same rights. For a safety reason, the supporters will not be authorized to access the flying zone, including the preflight checking zone, which will be restricted to the pilots, helpers and team managers.
