Fairness
Every buoy relevant to the respective competition must be swum around. If a buoy is ignored, this will result in disqualification. Ignoring a relevant checkpoint for the respective competition (from a distance of 10.0 km and more) will result in disqualification.

Folgende Neopren Regeln gelten beim Alpen Adria Swim Cup:

Unter 18,0 Grad ist der Neoprenanzug Pflicht, ab 24.0 Grad generell verboten.

Je nach Bedingungen und Wetterverlauf über den Eventtag - z.B. bei starkem Sonnenschein -  behaltet sich der Veranstalter das Recht bei Wassertemperaturen knapp unter 24 Grad den Neopren zu verbieten. Ebenso in Ausnahmefällen, dass eine Neoprenpflicht bei einer Wassertemperatur über 24 Grad - z.B. bei einer herannahender Kaltfron, hoher Wellengang, etc  - verhängt wird.

Die Entscheidung fällt immer am Eventtag bei der Wettkampfbesprechung.
