3.3. Entrant agrees that Organizer may disqualify any Entrant it finds to be tampering with the
operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules or in an
unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any Entrant to deliberately undermine

all rights to seek damages and other remedies (including attorneys’ fees) from any such

3.4. Organizer is not responsible for incorrect or inaccurate Entry information or content

3.6. Multiple Entrants are not permitted to share the same email account. Any attempt by any
Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different email

4. Timing of Contest Stages for Virtual Circuit.

4.1. Time frames for Contest stages are set forth below. All times are expressed in Greenwich
Meridian Time (“GMT”). There will be eight (8) monthly virtual races in the virtual circuit
(the “Virtual Circuit”) starting in March, 2024, and concluding at the end of October, 2024
(the “Tournament Period”). The March race will begin at 00:00:01 on March 1st, 2024 and
end at 23:59:59 on March 31st, 2024. Each of the subsequent virtual races will begin at 00:00:01
on the first day of each month at and ending at 23:59:59 on the last day of each month during
the Tournament Period. Each monthly period is a “Race” and two monthly Races are one
“Heat” starting from March 1st, 2024. We will have four Heats during the Tournament Period
which are as follows, Heat 1 will be between March 1 st, 2024 to April 30th, 2024, Heat 2 from
May 1st, 2024 to June 30th, 2024, Heat 3 will be between July 1st, 2024 to August 31st, 2024, and
Heat 4 will be between September 1 st, 2024 to October 31st, 2024.
4.2. Organizer’s computer is the official time-keeping device for the Contest. Entrant is responsible
for determining the corresponding time in his or her jurisdiction. Please see world clock
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock for time zone conversion information. Dates listed in
the above chart may vary slightly. If any date is changed, Organizer will post the changes on
the Contest site located at www.deepracerleague.com. Please check the site regularly.

5. Contest Structure.
5.1. Registration/Submission
5.1.1. To race in a virtual Race, an eligible Individual must log into an AWS account not
owned by AWS to use the AWS DeepRacer service in the AWS console and submit
to the leaderboard. An eligible Individual must accept these Official Rules and
provide a racer alias that will be used throughout the entire Virtual Circuit as well as
all other personal information required. Establishing an AWS account is free.
5.1.2. Entrants must complete all required fields.
5.1.3. Entrants must train a DeepRacer model that may be custom built or adapted from one of
the reward function examples available on the AWS console (“AWS DeepRacer
Reinforcement Learning Model”). Entrants must submit their DeepRacer model to the
relevant virtual Race in the DeepRacer League Virtual Circuit section, where it will be
evaluated. The submitted DeepRacer model will then be programmatically raced on the
leader board’s indicated competition track. Entrants can submit multiple models to any
given virtual Race, but only the Entrant’s best lap time will be kept. If an Entrant’s lap time
is displayed on the monthly leaderboard then their lap time is considered as a ‘qualifying
submission’ to the monthly Virtual Circuit (together, an “Entry”).
5.1.4. Entrants will be prompted to provide an email address for prize fulfillment purposes. If
Entrants do not provide an email address for prize fulfillment, their prize will be held and
fulfilled after the required information is received.
5.2. Racing
5.2.1. Entries must comply with the Submission Restrictions defined below in Section 7 and all
racing instructions and rules that may be required by Organizer. Failure to conform
constitutes grounds for disqualification.
5.2.2. Each virtual Race will have a race track assigned to it. The AWS DeepRacer service
2047042.1 07503-9999-000 3
 will automatically evaluate the performance of Entrant’s Entry on the race track.
5.3. Race Results and Point Calculation
5.3.1. After the Race, the Race results will be displayed (display name, rank, lap time,
country) on the AWS DeepRacer League website.
5.3.2. After the close of each Race, Entrants receive points based on their final positions on
each respective season leader board.
5.3.3. Points are awarded based on an Individual’s finishing position in each race:
5.3.4. The 1st place finisher receives 100 points, 2nd receives 97 points, 3rd receives 94 points.
This pattern continues, with each position getting fewer points, down to the 20th place
which receives 43 points. From 21st to 40th place, points drop by 2 for each spot. The 21st
position individual receives 41 points, 22nd receives 39, 23rd receives 37 and so on until
40th place, which receives 3 points. All other Entrants on the leaderboard each month
receives 1 point. All of Organizer’s decisions are final.
5.3.5. Points will aggregate across all monthly Virtual Circuit Races. Points from other racing
circuits that may be conducted and sponsored by Organizer will not count towards points
in the Virtual Circuit, and vice versa.
5.4. Ties
5.4.1. “Race Tie” – If two or more Entrants have exactly the same lap time during a Race, the
winner will be the Entrant that achieved his or her lap time first as determined by looking
at whose entries had the fewest off-track penalties and, secondarily, whose fastest single
laps from each month were fastest.
5.4.2. An event of Points Tie occurs when there are:
5.4.2.1. “Heat Winners Tie” – In the event that two or more Entrants have exactly the same
points, the winner will be determined by aggregating their leaderboard times for the
specific heat. If their aggregate times are also the same, we will then use the total
resets (i.e., object/agent collisions and off-tracks penalties) for that specific heat to
determine the Heat winner.
5.4.2.2. “Global Points Tie” - In the event that two or more Entrants have exactly the same
global points tally, the winner will be determined by aggregating their leaderboard
times for the entire Tournament Period. If their aggregate times are also the same,
then the person who submits first is the Global Points winner.

5.5. Notification of Potential Winners and Verification

5.5.1. Following the close of each monthly Virtual Circuit Race, all lap times submitted in each
relevant Virtual Circuit Race will programmatically and automatically be calculated to
identify:
5.5.1.1. The top fastest or winner of each Heat from each geographic region listed below
based on a qualifying submission during the Race period from each of six (6) geographic
