2. Preparation: The judge, players and audiences log in the appointed server and enter the prepare hall, waiting for the judge's last test in order to confirm all the players can communicate with each other in clear voice. If some player's voice communicator doesn't work, he has to log out from the server, adjust the communicator and return to the server.

5. When the server counting backwards finishes, the judge should read the air combat rules to the players. The details are vide post.

6. When the judge finishes reading the rules, he will send the order of "Engine Start". All the players must step on the main brake of their fighters and start the engine. When the engines start, they should draw in the accelerator idle and report all set to the judge, waiting for the take-off order.

7. When the judge confirms all the fighters are ready, he should release the following orders: "Ready; Go!" The interval between Ready and Go should be not less than 2 seconds and not longer than 3 seconds.

8. When the players heard "Ready", they can push the accelerator forward but can't slide. When they heard "Go", they should release the brakes and start sliding at once.

The players should make their fighters circle the moorage rope of the captive balloons within the semidiameter of 300m and turn the course to the take-off airdrome. The players could choose the turning direction (left or right), but must circle around the moorage rope of the captive balloons and mustn't shoot at the captive balloons.

13. To encourage attack, before the judge announces the end of the combat, none of the players should land on his own if his fighter works and could fire. If in this case one fighter land on its own, it is regarded as being shot down by the enemy and the opposite side will gain the score for shooting one enemy down.

14. To encourage attack, shooting at the opposite planes at any state is permitted before the judge announces the end of the combat. However, shooting at the bailout pilot is forbidden.

15. The air combat will stop 10 minutes after take-off and "Red Win" will be displayed on the screen. It doesn't mean the Red side wins, but means the air combat must stop at once. The judge should announce the end of combat when seeing "Red Win" and all the fighters in the sky should stop fighting immediately. If one fighter is shooting at the enemy when "Red Win" appears, the judge should announce the combat ends soon after the end of this continuous fire and guide every fighter into their landing course. Any fire is forbidden after the announcement of end.

16. After the announcement of end, all the fighters could operated by the pilots must build up their landing course according to the judge's guide and land with their eyes looking at the marks on the runways (36LEFT for the Blue side and 18LEFT for the Red side).
