Terms & Conditions

This website is operated by the Sorcery AI Racing League organizing committee under Data Sorcerers. It provides event information, resources, news, demonstrations and broadcasts. These terms explain the permitted use of those services.

Please read them together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Website access, cookie consent and competition registration are separate actions. Accepting cookies does not constitute an event entry.

Dates, venue details, technical limits and arrangements marked TBA, draft or proposed are not final. Review the current Rules & Handbook, Competition Format and official announcements before relying on event details.

A promotional image, demonstration or earlier social post does not override a later official rulebook or announcement. If two published sources appear inconsistent, contact the committee for clarification. We may correct errors and update resources as event preparations progress.

Registration is currently closed. A registration preview, downloaded draft or website visit does not submit an official entry, reserve a place or guarantee a confirmation email. Entries will be accepted only through the official process after registration opens.

The current participant criteria require teams of 2–4 active D4, S1 or S2 students, or local equivalents, from accredited higher-education institutions in Southeast Asia. Students may come from different institutions and any field of study. Bootcamp-only enrollment does not meet the higher-education requirement.

Teams are responsible for submitting accurate information and confirming that each member knows about and agrees to the entry. Eligibility, selection and final acceptance are subject to the official entry requirements and verification by the committee.

SARL does not charge an entry or competition participation fee, including participation through the final. Report anyone requesting a payment on behalf of SARL to the official committee contacts below. Do not send money in response to an unverified message.

Participants are responsible for travel, accommodation and personal expenses, including costs associated with attending the offline final. The announced event support includes lunch, dinner, snacks and mineral water during the scheduled in-person event program. Further service and attendance arrangements will be communicated before the event.

Official entries must follow the division requirements, technical limits, scoring rules and conduct standards published in the Rules & Handbook. Website examples are learning resources and do not grant an exemption from those requirements.

For the offline final, the announced rules require participants to build their AI from scratch for the designated track. LLM-assisted or generated code during that build is prohibited and is subject to DNF under the competition rules. Pre-built models and LLMs used to run the final driver are not permitted. Physical notes, documentation and printed code references are allowed, subject to the final handbook.

Qualification, inspection, decisions on rule violations and any review or objection process must follow the official handbook. These website terms do not introduce a separate scoring system or appeal deadline.

• Use the website without disrupting access for other visitors or damaging its services.
• Do not attempt to bypass access controls, enter another person’s account, upload malicious content or obtain private committee or participant information.
• Do not impersonate the organizer, submit misleading information or use SARL branding to solicit unauthorized payments.
• Authorized committee members must keep their credentials private and report suspected unauthorized access.

Report a suspected security issue privately to [email protected]. Provide only the details needed to explain it; do not publish credentials, personal records or another person’s private information.

SARL names, logos, images, videos, written materials and code may be subject to intellectual-property rights held by Data Sorcerers or their respective owners. Refer to the license or permission supplied with a resource before copying, modifying, distributing or using it commercially.

You may share links to public SARL pages and refer to published information with clear attribution. Do not alter materials in a way that misrepresents an official statement, implies an unconfirmed partnership or suggests that the organizer endorses your project.

Demonstrations, illustrative telemetry and generated artwork explain ideas; they do not by themselves confirm an approved simulator, circuit, venue or sporting result. Read the description and version information attached to each resource.

Website access and video playback depend on network conditions, device support and service availability. Broadcasts can be delayed or interrupted, and resources may be updated or temporarily unavailable. Report technical problems to the committee with the page address and a brief description.

Links to third-party websites are provided for information. Those services operate under their own terms, privacy practices and availability. A link does not by itself establish an endorsement or partnership. These terms do not exclude rights or obligations that cannot be excluded under applicable requirements.

For website questions, eligibility clarification, suspected payment requests or concerns about these terms, contact [email protected]. Alternatively, email [email protected]. Include the relevant page, date and a concise description of the issue.

The review date above identifies this version. We will publish revised terms when relevant arrangements change. Competition-specific changes will be communicated through official channels and the applicable rulebook or entry terms.
