MANEUVERING RULES

DOCKING EVENT

The docking event is a time scored event. The object is to cross the start line, lay the ship alongside the dock fully stopped and cross the finish line as quickly as possible with a minimum number of hits on the dock. The ship is not permitted to travel faster than scale speed. The ship may use either side of the dock and approach from either direction. The contestant may stand anywhere while operating the vessel.

1. To be considered fully docked the ship must be stopped with at least 75% of the ship length overlapping the dock, and must remain so until the referee states "Docked".

2. One penalty free hit is allowed for docking contact.

3. All further hits will cause 10 seconds to be added to the contestants score.

4. The ship with the shortest time wins.

5. A maximum of five minutes per contestant is allowed.

6. The use of the docking impact indicator (shell) may be used in place of counting ‘hits'.

GUNNERY

Any and all types of Gunnery Events shall be scored and counted as a Maneuvering Event.
