MakeX Inspire will be conducted across two age-based categories: Group 1 and Group 2. The age eligibility for each group will be defined by the competition organizers. Each group will be ranked independently, and the top-performing teams in each group will advance to the playoff stage.

Competition Format at a Glance

Participants will prepare themselves for a total of ten (10) different missions before the competition day. On the competition day, the Referee will use a chit-based random selection system to determine which missions a team must perform.

• A total of 10 missions will be available in the competition mission set.
• Teams are expected to prepare for all 10 missions before the competition.
• For each competition round, two (2) missions will be selected using the official chit system.
• The Referee will conduct the chit selection and announce the missions assigned to the participating team.
• The selected missions will be the missions that the team must complete during that round.
• The mission selection process is intended to ensure that teams demonstrate preparation across the complete mission set.

Each team will participate in two (2) qualification rounds. In each round, the team will be required to complete the two missions assigned through the chit system.

• Every participating team receives two qualification attempts.
• Each round consists of two randomly selected missions.
• The score from each round will be recorded separately.
• Scores from both rounds will contribute to the team's qualification ranking.
• Teams must complete the missions according to the instructions and scoring criteria provided by the competition officials.

Qualification Score = Round 1 Score + Round 2 Score

Example: If a team scores 85 points in Round 1 and 92 points in Round 2, its qualification score will be 85 + 92 = 177 points.

Teams will be ranked separately within Group 1 and Group 2. The qualification ranking will determine which teams advance to the playoff stage.

The top eight (8) teams from each group, based on the qualification ranking, will advance to the playoff stage.

The playoff stage will be conducted separately for Group 1 and Group 2. The eight qualified teams in each group will compete through the following stages.
