(3) Method of Control
(a) For each team, only one person is permitted to control the machine/s.
(b) Manual Machine/s, and Automatic Machine/s are permitted to handle all beach balls on the game field including opponent’s Beach Balls.
(c) For Automatic Machines, "retry" is allowed. After a "retry" is called out by a team, they are allowed to reset and restart the Automatic Machine/s from the start zone. Reset and restart can be done by anyone of three members of the team. Retry is permitted only once per game for each team.
(d) The team members are not permitted to handle or touch the machine/s once the game starts.

(4) Power Supply
(a) Each team shall prepare its own power source for all its machine/s during the games.
(b) Voltage of the machine’s electric power source to be used must be below DC24 V.
(c) Power sources that are considered dangerous or unsuitable by the Committee shall not be permitted. (e.g. use of fire)

(5) Weight
(a) Total combined weight of all machines shall be less than 40 kg.
(b) The combined weight includes the weight of power sources, a control box, cables and other machine parts and accessories. However, weights of beach balls are not included.
(c) Machines shall be weighed twice as follows:
1.Prior to the test run on the day before the tournament
2.Prior to the contest on the actual day of the tournament

Machine/s separated from Automatic Machine/s must have the mechanism of an Automatic Machine. Also, all machine/s separated from Manual Machine/s are considered as Manual Machine

⑤ "BEACH BALLS"

(a) Beach balls to be used are made of soft vinyl material with a diameter of 300mm when inflated.
(b) Sample beach balls will be made available by the Committee to each country and region.
(c) Beach balls to be used in a game will be fully inflated

⑥ MATCHES

(1) The Tournament
(a) The contest is played on the knockout system, and each team will participate in at least two games.

(2) The Duration of Matches
(a) Matches shall last for 3 minutes. However, matches may be ended earlier if the referees decide that the game cannot continue due to mechanical problems. Alternatively, the match may end before the 3 minutes if "REACH" takes place.
(b) Setting shall be completed within 1 minute after receiving the signal for the setting.
(c) Match Start
Manual Machine/s and Automatic Machine/s can start at the instant when the signal for the game starts. Each Automatic Machine shall be so constructed that it can be started in one operation.

(3) Points Awarded
(a) Points are calculated when the match ends.
(b) If a machine places its own team’s beach ball into the tube, and that beach ball is not touching the machine, the team occupies the tube and gains a point.
(c) If both team’s beach balls are placed in the same tube, the owner of the beach ball occupying higher position in that tube is considered to have won the tube and gains a point.
(d) Points for each tube are as follows:
“Summit” Tube-4 points
“Mountainside” Tubes-2 points each
“Foothill” Tubes -1 point each
(e) At the moment when 5 consecutive “Tubes” are occupied in a diagonal line including the “Summit” Tube, it is considered to have achieved “REACH” and is assumed as the winner even though the opponent may have scored more points.
Only in the final tournament, “REACH” will not be completed unless the “Summit” Tube is filled with 3 or more beach balls and also “Mountainside” Tubes are filled with 2 or more beach balls.

(4) Deciding the Winner
(a) The game shall be decided by adding up the points scored by each team after subtracting points for violation.
(b) In the case of a draw, the winner of the match will be decided based on the conditions in the following order:
1.The team that occupies the most "Tubes" wins the match.
2.Judges’ decision.
(c) If "REACH" takes place, the team that achieves “REACH” wins the match.

⑦ VIOLATION AND DEDUCTION OF POINTS

*Points earned by above violation are invalid.

⑧ DISQUALIFICATION

(1) Manual Machine attempting to cause damage to the opponent's machines.
(2) Attempting to damage the game field, its equipment, or beach balls.
(3) Any act leading to failure to comply with the spirit of Fair Play.

 ⑩ OTHERS

⑪ AWARDS

Besides awards for the top three winners, there will be prizes for Best Techniques, Best Idea and Best Artistic Design.

⑫ NOTICE ON MACHINE CONSTRUCTION

Followings are the points to be kept in mind when constructing machines, but other than these, a sufficient attention must be paid to avoid danger.
(1) Automatic Machine/s may come in contact with one another. Therefore, sufficient attention must be paid on the possibility of contact when constructing Automatic Machine/s.
(2) To ensure safety, when using a laser beam, it must be used in a way that it will not harm any operators, audiences, or the referees.
(3) Consider the materials of “Tubes”, “Beach Ball Stocking Place”, and a sufficient attention must be paid to avoid machine/s damaging the game field.
