Ace Pigeon Ranking (Overall Best Performance)
The five best pigeons on 5 intermediate races, the semi-final race, and the three final flights will be rewarded for the best Ace pigeon (overall ranking). Pigeons are ranked first according to the prizes (in the first 1/3) and second criterion, according to the Ace points (calculated on the 1:3 principle).

Team Competitions
Jersey Cup (Overall Team Performance)
A team-based competition. The team consists of a maximum of 5 pigeons.
At each official race, the total flight time of the 2 best pigeons from the team counts for the Jersey competition.
After nine official races, we will determine the 'Jersey Cup Winner'.
Fancier of The Race (Single Race Performance)
Alongside the Jersey Cup, where the winner is determined after all races, the Fancier of the Race competition runs in parallel — awarding a winner after each individual race based on the best team performance. The total time of the top 2 pigeons per race is calculated, and the best result earns the title "Fancier of the Race". Each of the 9 winners will receive a free team (5 pigeons) in the 2026 AviRings Derby PRO.
