(1) Summit Online head-to-head racing format will follow Virtual Circuit head-to-head qualification race rules, with participants submitting models to navigate the track while avoiding a specified number of moving bot cars. The winners of the race will be determined by the fastest continuous time submitted to the leaderboard at the close of the race. There is no elimination bracket or Head-to-Head tournament at the end of the month for Summit Online races. The winners of the Head-to-Head and Time Trial Summit Online Races are determined by the leaderboard times at the end of the applicable period for the Summit Online Event Race, as outlined at www.awsdeepracerleague.com.

(2) A varying number of first prizes and second prizes will be awarded per each Summit Race. Prizing per Summit Online race will be allocated by the number of physical Summits replaced by a Summit Online. For example, the May Summit Online races will have 8 first prizes in Time Trial; 8 first prizes in Head-to-Head; 40 second prizes in Time Trial; and 40 second prizes in Head-to-Head.
