1. The wingspan of glider is limited to a maximum of 75cm.
2. The material for the glider can be chosen by the participants. Recommended material is Balsa Wood, other materials are allowed though.
3. The launching mechanism for the glider will be provided by the organizers and the participants will not be allowed to use their own launching mechanisms.
4. Readymade kits of any level viz. RTF (Ready To Fly) and ARTF (Almost Ready To Fly) for gliders available in the open market are strictly not allowed.
5. The glider must not contain any mechanisms to provide thrust once it is being launched.
6. The glider must not contain any mechanisms for maneuvering the flying direction.
7. The glider must contain notches to be compatible with the launcher. There must be two notches (one on top and another on the bottom) at the centre of gravity.

• The first round is based on the horizontal distance covered during the flight of the glider.
• Every metre length the glider covers fetches a point.
• Every team will be given two trials in the first round, and the best of the two will be considered for evaluation.
• The glider must land within a region bounded by the lines which have a deviation of 30 degrees on either side from the line of symmetry (shown in fig 1) or else the points scored in the particular trial will be considered as zero.

• The second round is based on the time of flight of the glider.
• The time from the release of the glider from the launcher to the point of time at which the glider makes the first contact with the ground will be taken as the time of flight.
• A single point is given for every single second of flight.
• Every team will be given two trials in the first round, and the best of the two will be considered for evaluation.
• The glider must land within a region bounded by the lines which have a deviation of 30 degrees on either side from the line of symmetry (shown in fig 1) or else the points scored in the particular trial will be considered as zero

• In this round the participants have to modify their gliders in order to make it glide in an arc.
• The participants have to launch their glider from the same launching point of the previous rounds.
• There will be two poles, placed one on either side at a certain distance offset from the line of symmetry. (The participant can choose any one of the poles (shown in fig 2a and 2b) and can modify the glider for that direction.)
• The glider has to make an arc on the outer side of the pole and cross the line of symmetry.
• The distance between the point of landing of the glider and the pole, measured in the direction perpendicular to the line of symmetry will be considered for evaluation.

1. The cumulative scoring of the first two rounds will be based on the relation
2. S = X + 3.5 T
3.     Where,
4.     S – The cumulative score.
5.     X – The points scored in the first round.
6.     T – The points scored in the second round.
7. In the third round the scoring will be, for every metre the glider covers in the direction perpendicular to the intended line of flight upto the same line will be given ten points, beyond that every metre is awarded with fifteen points each.

1. Team consisting of a maximum of 3 participants is allowed. Participants from different colleges can form teams.
2. Every team will be inspected before the event whether the glider meets the specifications and to check the originality of the design.   
3. On any case the judges’ decision is final. Everyone must abide to it.
4. Slots for participants will be allotted based on first come first serve basis. Participants who register their teams first on the event site will be given the first slot.
