It will be fought for medals in eight single and team summer sports disciplines.
Athletics 100m: The participants will be divided into two (for more than 12 participants into three, for more than 16 participants into four) groups of equal size. Each group drives separately for two final spots. The final will be the run for the three medals. Before there will be a five-minute warm-up.
Athletics 3000m Steeplechase: Driving will be in round mode. All participants will start at the same time. The one first in finish, wins. If a participant does not make the water jump, he may use the bypass (in each round, it must be tried!). Before there will be a fifteen-minute warm-up. Make use of the GPS!
Athletics 3x400m Relay: This is a team competition. The participants will be divided in multiple, equally powerful three men groups. Each member of a team have to drive one round. The starting order will be announced in advance. The members that have not gone yet, have to wait in the ‘changing zone’. Should a member leave the ‘changing zone’ to early, the entire team will be disqualified. As soon as a member of the team arrives the finish, the next member in the order can leave the ‘changing zone’ and can drive his round. Winner is the team, which reach first the finish with all drivers. Before there will be a fifteen-minute warm-up.
Athletics High Jump: Target is to go over the bar (hitting the bar is allowed). Each participant has three attempts for each level. If a participant failed after the third attempt, he may not a participate in the next levels. He is out! Winner is the one with the highest jump. As the second classification the number of failed attempts will be counted (lowest). Each level have to be driven. Driven will be separately. If the race director can’t say if the level is reached by a participant (e.g. by lags), the jump must be repeated. On permanently lags (thru bad internet connection of the participant), the participant is not allowed to participate in this discipline. Before there will be a ten-minute warm-up. Make use of the GPS!
Swimming 400m Freestyle: The participants will be divided into two (for more than 12 participants into three, for more than 16 participants into four) groups of equal size. Each group drives separately for two final spots. The final will be the run for the three medals. Before there will be a ten-minute warm-up.
Cycling Road Race: Driving will be in round mode. Who is first in finish, wins. Before there will be a ten-minute warm-up.
Canoeing Slalom C-1: Each 20 seconds one participant will be sent to the track in Time-Attack mode. Everyone have to wait at the start until he/she get the start command from the race director. If you get the command, reset your time and start your run. There is only one attempt! Restarts from the start area during the race are not allowed. Green gates have to pass in driving direction, red gates have to pass against the driving direction. The gates must be passed by the numbering. The winner is the driver with the fastest time after two runs. Before there will be a ten-minute warm-up. Make use of the GPS!
Gymnastics Balance Beam: The winner is the one who have the best time after ten minutes in Time-Attack mode. Make use of the GPS!
General: The start for all single disciplines will be in the order of the current medal count (the best at last). For participants without a medal, the start will be in the order of the ladder ranking (the best at last). Groups are formed according to the current medal count or by the ladder ranking for the participants without a medal. (e.g. with 8 participants in the group one will be the four best)
For all team disciplines the participants are divided into three equal groups by the current medal count or by the ladder ranking for participants without a medal (e.g. the three best in group one, the places 4, 5 and 6 in group two and the last three in in group three). From each team one member will be chosen by the race director, so each team have a member from another group. The start order then obtained from the groups (first group three, then group two and at last group one). If the number of participants can’t divide by three, the last-place after the current medal count or for those without medal by ladder ranking, are not allowed to participate in that discipline.
On cut or otherwise cheating attempts, the race director reserves a disqualification of the participant for this discipline. On repeated attempts it follows the exclusion from the II. Zapo Summer Games.
The race director has the right for short-term changes in the rules. The rules will be announced before each event.
Participants are encouraged to know the rules before the race!
