2 Conditions of participation: Every non-commercial balloon team makes available to the organizer one guest place per flight for an assistant, media, VIP, sponsors et cetera. The commercial balloons have to make available passenger places with 100,- Euros taken from the passengers stock exchange. The number of passengers depends on the balloon size and is equally distributed to the commercial balloons. Every commercial balloon has to take at least one passenger from the organizer per flight. The passengers stock exchange is coordinated between the organizers (partners and handling: GT Ballonfahrten). Rides for own passengers against payment is only possible in previous arrangement. Because of some sponsor s contracts balloon covers of banks, chemist s shop markets (for example Rossmann, Müller et cetera) brand of cars (excepted VW, Porsche, AUDI, Skoda), energy enterprises, other markets (for example Kaufland, Marktkauf et cetera) have to be avoided. In particular cases however we will do our best for a possible participation. Balloon Dimension restriction to cu ft (bigger volume only in arrangement with the organizer).

The winner of the competition receives the Grand Prix der dm-märkte, the main sponsor of the event (trophy from the world-famous Majolika Karlsruhe designed by the Goldstadt Pforzheim ) The places 1-3 will receive monetary or material prices. All pilots take part in the planned races and are also evaluated or grasped according to point (the special forms are released from taking part in the races): Commercial balloons become listed on account of the passengers (paying passengers from a prospective customer s pool) at the end of the event only out of competition. Winner is the participant with the highest score after five start periods (evaluation: place system) The lot decides by equal point level. On Sunday evening the traditional Key-Grab competition of the Pforzheimer Zeitung still takes place. That means a separate competition with a separate price (winner: 1.000,- Euro, 2 nd place 500,- Euro, 3 rd place 250,- Euro). The crews receive against a security fee of 50 Euros (returning at the end of the event) in each case a logger as well as markers to document the competitive achievements.
