Penalties : An missed entry or exit gate will lead to a maximum score increased by 5 points.
NOTE : On a single run, the pilot may choose the direction in which he goes round the pylon. In the case of a match or race using parallel slalom courses, the direction in which the turn must be taken will be decided by a draw. The same will apply for the team event. Entry and Exit Gates may either be together or separate, depending the choice of the task : individual or team
GATES : a distance of 4 to 7 meters wide. At the discretion of the Competition Director, an entry gate may be separate from an exit gate . This point has to be presented to the general briefing. If a gate point change between two courses, the Competition Director remind the set up during each particular briefing prior to a course.
In a case of electronic timing, a stick will show the middle of the gate. The top of the stick will be less than10cm hight the sensors.
