Team Prize for the Final Race Award

The pigeons in rank 1st – 500th that arrive not later 6 pm on the next day of the liberation date are entitled for the team prize award. The point is derived from the number of pigeons returned for each team. The team with the highest point is awarded to be the winner. In case that there is the equal point, the team with the best score is awarded to be the winner. The best score is determined by the lowest score calculated from the accumulation of rank.  

In example:

Team A arrived 2 pigeons in rank 1 and 7 = 2 points / 8 scores (from 1+7)

Team B arrived 2 pigeons in rank 3 and 4 = 2 points / 7 scores (from 3+4)

The winner is Team B



Ace Pigeon Award

The Ace Pigeon is awarded to the pigeon received the best score accumulated from all 5 distances (220 km, 260 km, 320 km, 400 km, and 500 km).
