\section{Introduction}
At RoboCup \RCYear, the Standard Platform League will hold one technical challenge, which is described in this document.
RoboCup \RCYear awards a trophy for winning this challenge and the option for pre-qualification if a team is not pre-qualified by other means.

Technical challenges are used in the SPL to develop technical capabilities which will be used in upcoming RoboCups in the main competition. The purpose is to give teams time to develop solutions and exchange ideas before they will be introduced into the main competition. Challenges are designed to move the league in a direction of further improvement of soccer skills and towards the overall goal of 2050. Each team is strongly encouraged to participate in these challenges to contribute to the league's advancement.

\subsection{Code Publication}
Every team participating in a challenge must publish the corresponding code used in that competition according to Appendix A.7 of the SPL rule book, unless a specific challenge states otherwise.

\subsection{Overall Ranking}
The scores earned in each challenge may vary significantly in magnitude, so they must be scaled before computing the overall Technical Challenge ranking.
Teams that do not participate in a challenge will receive 0 points for that challenge.
For each challenge, the team with the highest raw score will receive 25 points, and the team with the lowest non-zero raw score will receive 5 points.
A linear scaling function is then defined between these two points, and all other participating teams will receive a scaled score based on their raw performance according to this function.
