Event Introduction

The next Drone Racing eSports Tournament on the MultiGP Calendar is the 2020 HawaiiCon Virtual Challenge September 24-27, 2020 and hosted online in the official simulator of MGP, VelociDrone!  Pilots from around the world will be virtually flying in the Big Island of Hawaii as part the HawaiiCon 2020 Virtual Reunion, a non-profit fundraiser for STEAM education for children on Hawaii Island.  Proceeds from HawaiiCon 2020 will be used to support online writing, art, theater, and engineering training for Hawaii; to purchase drone racing supplies for local school groups; and to host the Hawaii Drone Racing Championship at HawaiiCon 2021. 

Event Structure

A qualifying track will be released to all registered competitors at 12:01AM HST (Hawaii Time) on Thursday 9/24, and they will have until 11:59PM HT to post their best qualifying time, also known as “Leaderboard Bashing”.  The field will then be split into the three classes based on their best qualifying time: Rookie, Sport and Pro in thirds; the top-3rd will be deemed “Pro”, the next group deemed “Sport” and the next third deemed “Rookie”.

Each class will then be further divided into 2 or more groups based on their qualifying time, known as ‘Top 16’, ‘Next 16’, and ‘Next Next 16’ etc. as needed based on the number of competitors.  That means each qualifier will be competing in Super-Charged Chase-the-Ace Championship Brackets (virtually) in Hawaii!

All track information, discord channel information and schedule updates will be sent to registered pilots via the MultiGP website.
