The $20 entry fee goes to the shop, the $20 gates fee, is the Cash Prize pot for this event. You will be given tickets for your Gates.
Ok, here is how the event is going to run:
Course 1 is 20 gates.
Course 2 is 20 gates.
Random draw for starting orders.
Run the 20 gates - battery changes are NO LONGER free. Run a battery capable of 20 gates or else you will be penalized.
12 minute time limit per 20 gates.
Two trucks will be on course at one time. With 2 courses, this means 4 will be running at a time.
Everyone runs each course once.
Hit 3 gates, give up 3 tickets, Hit 2 gates, give up 2 tickets. Etc.
Run out of time? Pay one ticket for each gate you didn't progress in the round.
Repairs on course, repo to last gate cleared. 10 point penalty, time runs.
or Off course repair, will cost you 1 ticket and 10 points. Time stops, but you must be back on course within 20 minutes.
Reverses +1, rollovers +5, repo +10, and winches +3, these penalties won't cost you any tickets, but still cost you points.
For each 100 points you accumulate, cumulatively you will also give up 1 ticket.
Each round, (1 run on each course) the gates will get a little harder, AND Time is decreased by a minute. Round 1 is 12 minutes, Round 2 is 11 minutes, 3 is 10 Minutes, 4 is 9 minutes.
AFTER you give up your 20 tickets for penalties you are out.
Last man standing, wins. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place split the penalty money 50/30/20%
To make things FASTER thru the day, there will no longer be sorting after each round. Your random starting draw, is your position for the whole day.
After 5 full rounds, or if the rounds take longer than expected or more people show up than expected, the last round will begin at 7pm, its over. (if it goes that long)
Winner is decided by how many tickets you have left, If that is a tie, then by total points accumulated for all rounds together.
