Two years in the same subcategory

Hello,
does the rule that an individual competitor can only compete in the same subcategory for two years still apply?
Does this rule apply to an individual competitor or to the entire team (a member may compete more than twice if he competes in different teams)?
I can’t find a document where this rule is written.

Hi @LFK

Team members may compete in Rescue Line twice (2 international events). After a team participated twice, they must move to Rescue Maze.

(find it under this link: RCJ Rescue Line - RoboCupJunior)

This means that a student can participate in the Rescue Line category two times. After that, the student must move to the Rescue Maze category, where there is no such restriction.

Hello @CsabaAbanJr
in Rescue Line 2025 rules

4.4.6 . Team members may compete in Rescue Line twice (2 international events). After competing in Rescue Line twice, they must move to another RoboCupJunior sub-league.

so, It is not necessary to move to Rescue Maze; they can move to other categories of RoboCupJunior, such as Rescue Simulation, Soccer, or OnStage.
Of course, they can also move to Rescue Maze.

I think the information on this link is outdated.
I hope the information will be updated correctly.

Hello @CsabaAbanJr

We will update this on the website soon!

Over a year ago (in March 2025), you wrote “We will update this on the website soon!”, but the incorrect information on the website has still not been corrected.
I hope that the incorrect information on the website will be fixed as soon as possible.

It has been updated. Website updates occur independently of rule changes, so please use the current year’s rules as a source of ground truth.

Thank you,

Hello @M.Edwards
Thank you for correcting the Rescue Line WEBpage. The same incorrect description is also written on the Rescue Maze WEBpage, so I would appreciate it if you could review and correct that as well.
