Rules Clarification 2015 #1 - Eligibility for each division

Rule – 2.3 Team

2.3.3 Eligibility for each division is:

• Primary Rescue Line: Open to students aged 14 years old and under. Age is calculated as of July 1 for the international RCJ event each year.
• Secondary Rescue Line: Open to students of any age up to and including 19 years of age. Team members may compete in Secondary Rescue at most, twice (2 international events). After competing twice they must move to Rescue Maze.
• Rescue Maze: Open to students of any age up to and including 19 years of age.

When does this rule will be effective?

This will be effective immediate on RoboCup International Competition 2015.

 

To whom this rule applies?

This rule applies for all the Junior Rescue divisions’ participants including Line and Maze.

 

What does this mean?

After 2 years of competition of any team member in Rescue Line Secondary (for example RoboCup International Events 2015 and 2016), the team will not be accepted in this division, and it have to move onto Rescue Maze at RoboCup International event of 2017. On the other hand, all team members can have unlimited participations in Rescue Line Primary and Rescue Maze (just consider age eligibility).

The spirit of this rule is to keep challenging and promoting growth in the younger students that enter RoboCup.

We recommend the teams to participate in your respective National Competitions considering this eligibility. Any team that is assigned a spot to participate in RoboCup Junior 2017 on Rescue Line Secondary but is not eligible to participate by the constraint described above cannot be guaranteed a place in Rescue Maze.
