<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha"><li value="a">''As agreed at the 2024 Varsity Match.'' To improve inclusivity for pre-solo pilots, clause 5 may be relaxed upon mutual approval from both team captains. Instructors may physically fly the glider during take-offs and landings; such flights are still valid for scoring. Instructors should not physically fly the glider in any phase of flight between take-off and landing, except to maintain normal safety (in which case the flight is disqualified).</li>
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-roman"><li value="i">"Take-off" is defined as the phase of flight from when the main wheel is rolling on the ground, until the release of the cable.</li>
<li value="ii">"Landing" is defined as the phase of flight from the beginning of the downwind leg of the circuit, until the main wheel is in contact with the ground and the glider has come to a stop. A typical landing should consist of an uninterrupted and complete circuit, final approach beginning above 300ft QFE, round-out, and touchdown; in the case of an untypical landing (e.g. partial or no circuit performed) with instructor intervention, both team captains will arbitrate to determine whether the instructor's intervention was within the spirit of clause 5.ba, and whether the flight should be disqualified on basis of the competitor's unsafe flying.</li></ol></ol><br>
<li value="6">The scores for each competing day shall be normalized, so that the median score on each competing day is 100.</li>
<li value="7">At the end of the competition, the normalized points for all scoring flights shall be totalled, and the team with the most points shall be declared the winner.</li>
