Monthly Challenges: Race on the monthly challenge tracks collection! Every month, a winner will be crowned and rewarded, the winner of the April Challenge will receive a DCL cap! Your Rank is calculated by adding your best times on the tracks of the challenge, scored flying the DCL19 drone. Official DCL Pilots can participate to the challenges but they cannot win the prizes. Check the leaderboards on game.dcl.aero/leaderboards and keep an eye on Drone Champions League social media!

Track Leaderboards update: the entire back-end system for the track leaderboards has been re-written in order to increase its stability and support the future features of the game.
There will probably be some hiccups today, please be patient for a few hours as we migrate to the new system.

As many of you noticed (thanks for your bug reports!) the Leaderboards stopped working correctly over the weekend.
Specifically the Ranked times were incorrectly recorded on the Unranked leaderboards.

We diagnosed and fixed the problem and we managed to recover the vast majority of the best times that you've recorded over this weekend, with some exceptions:

• you improved you Ranked record and then improved your Unranked record with a better time
  
• you already had a recorded Unranked flight faster than the Ranked one you just flew.

Unfortunately in these cases the times were lost and are unrecoverable, we are very sorry and there's nothing we can do about it.

Before you ask: we cannot accept screenshots or videos as proof of the times you've scored and input them manually in the system.

You still have a few days before the end of the DCL Draft Selection window, keep sending it!
