Terms and Conditions of Record 2 for 10 Finalists only

1. 10 attempts at the record are allowed. A foul shall be recorded as an attempt but shall not be valid for setting the record; except for guideline 6 which is a void.

2. The paper aeroplane must be folded from one sheet of paper only using Science Centre provided plain 80gsm A4 sized paper. The paper model folded must be the SCS Nakamura Lock. Folding modifications can be made to the plane (bends or creases) but accessories like glue, scissors, paperclips or staples are not permitted.

3. The paper aeroplane must be launched by one person (the "thrower") throwing the aircraft unaided from a standing and reasonably static position within a marked box. A run up or fast walk as part of the launch is not permitted nor the use of ramps or like devices. The thrower must endeavour to keep both feet on the ground during the launch. The aircraft must not be launched from any structure other than the marked spot on the designated concrete ground area.

4. The launch height is dependent upon the height of the finalist thrower. Reasonably flat footwear must be used. The standing point (ground) on which the thrower stands during launch is designated by Science Centre Singapore.

5. The distance shall be measured by event staff from the designated standing point to where it lands, subject to guideline 6. The distance shall be measured in metres (rounded to 1 decimal point). The event marshals shall witness the measurement taking to determine jointly the distance to be recorded. Attempts declared or rendered void under guideline 6 below shall not be recorded as an attempt.

6. Void - If the paper aeroplane hits any flying or fixed structure (eg: distance markers) , the event marshal can call a foul and void the attempt. It only requires one marshal to call a foul. Re-try can follow.

7. The furthest distance flown will be recorded officially into SBR record, and certificate presented in a ceremony on 15 Mar 09, 1pm. SCS will also present the Top 3 prizes to the winners.
