S6.9 Penalty for Unsatisfactory Submissions

At the discretion of the judges, teams that submit a Design Report or a Design Spec Sheet which, in the opinion of the judges does not represent a serious effort to comply with the requirements of Rules

S6.2, S6.3 and S6.4 will also not compete in the design event, but may at the design judges’ discretion

receive between five (5) and twenty (20) points for their efforts.

S6.10 Design Event – Vehicle Condition

S6.10.1 Cars must be presentedS6.3 for design judging in finished condition, i.e. fully assembled, complete

and ready-to-run.

S6.10.2 The judges will not evaluate any car that is presented at the design event in what they consider to be an unfinished state.

S6.10.3 Unfinished cars that are refused judging will receive zero (0) points for design.

S6.10.4 Point penalties may be assessed for cars with obvious preparation issues, e.g. notably loose or missing fasteners.

Note: Cars can be presented for design judging without having passed technical inspection, and even if final tuning and setup is in progress.

S6.11 Judging Criteria

S6.11.1 The design judges will evaluate the engineering effort based upon the team’s Design Report, Design

Spec Sheet, Student Activity Disclosure Form, responses to questions and an inspection of the car.

S6.11.2 The design judges will inspect the car to determine if the design concepts are adequate and appropriate for the application (relative to the objectives set forth in the rules).

S6.11.3 It is the responsibility of the judges to deduct points if the team cannot adequately explain the engineering and construction of the car.

S6.11.4 Design Judging Score Sheet – The Design Judging Score Sheet is available at www.fsaeonline.com/go/downloads. The judges strongly urge all teams to read and study the score sheet and all other documents related to design judging that are available on the website.

We highly recommend reading “FSAE Design Judging, A Student Guide to Understanding the

Process” which is available on the FSAE website.

S6.12 Judging Sequence

S6.12.1 The actual format of the design event may change from competition to competition and year to year as determined by the organizing body.

S6.12.2 All Formula SAE organizing bodies reserve the right to organize Design Judging into one, two or three steps at their sole discretion.

S6.12.3 Three step Design Judging is typically organized as follows:

1. Initial judging of all vehicles

2. Semi- final judging of the top 10 to 20 vehicles

3. Final judging ranking the top 4 to 8 vehicles.
