their demonstration from their lab during the session.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Courier New";"> As a back-up solution, each team needs to provide a video demonstration prior to the beginning of the tournament. If the demonstration
is performed in Bordeaux, the Humanoid League will provide a humanoid league soccer playing field for the demonstration. However, the members of the Technical Committee of the Humanoid League understand that for some demonstrations this setup may not be ideal
and will try to accommodate all teams. If a team requires other arrangements for the demonstration, it must submit a request to the Technical Committee at least 3 months before the competition to allow sufficient time for alternative arrangements.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Helvetica;"><br>
