- To complete the course systems have to be reached in the sequence order as they are indicated on the calendar (1 -> 2 -> 3 not 1 -> 3 -> 2).
- Using Jump Holes or Jump Gates doesn't matter.
- When a [checkpoint] is specified, the racer has to DOCK on the base to mark the checkpoint.
- When a target system is reached. racer must report position to EM to be cleared. EM will reply to confirm.
- There are 2 starts types : Space and land. In the first type, the racers all stay in a line near the starting location and engage at the EM's signal. On land start, every racer will launch from a base or planet with the EM signal. Jump starts will cause a 30 secs penalty added at the racer's total time (which really decides who wins).
- To participate in the event, racers must be on the EM's group channel for the whole duration of the race. Any disconnection from the group may result in disqualification.
- In case of server crash/reboot, race will be either cancelled or rescheduled on the EM's decision. The decision will be announced on the SWAT forum.To start a race, a minimum of 4 ships is required.
- Teams can compete in the their championship by engaging 2 pilots whose points will count for the team's points.
