How Scoring Works

Scoring in DRL is based on finishing position in each heat. The better you place, the more points you earn. Accumulated points decide who wins a Level and who earns a World Championship spot.

DRL Advancement Rules:

• Each semifinal group of six pilots flies six heats
• A pilot needs two heat wins to advance to the Finals
• If a group doesn't produce enough qualifiers, a sudden-death heat fills the remaining Finals spots

The Golden Heat:

• Six finalists race regular heats, then compete in a decisive Golden Heat
• Heat winners, and pilots with two second-place finishes, qualify for the Golden Heat
• The Golden Heat winner is named the Level winner

MultiGP / Timed Formats:

• Lap time starts when the pilot crosses the Start/Finish gate on a tone
• A pilot's best single lap or three consecutive laps are recorded
• These times are used for seeding pilots into competition brackets

Understanding both placement-based and timed scoring helps you follow any drone race format with confidence!
