Due to the lack of autonomous events at FSN2023, some rules are void or
altered. In particular:
Team members must comply with section A4.2 of the FS rules. Team members
with professional experience will be considered eligible to participate if they
comply with all rules.
Every team must fill out a Team Member Registration Form (TMRF) prior to
the competition. A format will be available on the competition website.
All individuals are responsible for their own Health Insurance, the FSN
organization may perform random checks to ensure an individual has a valid
health insurance.
All registered teams will be invited to choose a car number for the competition
via their MyTeam account.
NL2 Registration
All teams must also have an FSG account for uploading files. It is not
mandatory to participate in the FSG2023 registration quiz to obtain a valid
account.
Eligible Teams
All remaining places in the competition will be available through the regular
registration procedure.
Note, in the unlikely case that the amount of teams looking to compete in a
class of the competition is smaller than the amount of available spots in that
class, all places will be directly assigned without a quiz.
The FSN2023 registration quiz is part of the regular registration procedure for
FSN2023.
There will be separate quizzes for CV and EV Class, a quiz may contain
class-specific questions. The quiz will consist of 8-20 questions. The quiz is
designed in such a way that a well-prepared team should not spend longer
than 90 minutes. The maximum time is 120 minutes.
Questions may be asked about the FS Rules 2023, the FSN gray area
clarification document, as well as general (engineering) practices and
knowledge.
The amount of correct answers is considered first, before the time elapsed to
complete the quiz. In other words, it is more important to be right than to be
fast.
Time will be counted from 17:00 CET, regardless of the actual time a team
starts the quiz.
The answers to the quiz will be published on January 27th 2023 at 19:00 CET
on the competition website. Protests may be filed until two hours after the
answers have been published. The final quiz results will be published as soon
as possible after the protest window has elapsed and all protests have been
dealt with.
