- Person with the highest number of "kills" (read cuts of the streamer) is the winner; 
 
- The designated "Combat Zone" will be the "Box" of airspace on the northern side of the runway, any combat that encroaches into the runway area will bring disqualification of the offending aircraft. (This is to ensure we keep the aircraft well away from the pilots, pits and any spectators)
 
- All pilots will fly from the "Flight Line"
 
- A competition Judge will be appointed for each competition, this person will score kills per aircraft. They will also keep time and advise of the start and completion of the combat period.
