Thanks guys for volunteering, you guys make this possible.
Don't worry about the rules, most competitors know the rules and anything is questionable you can ask call time out whatever.
Obviously the normal rules back up is 1 point well that is a direction reversal if you start in reverse you get a back up point when you start going forward. You can travel through the course, any gates etc. forward or backwards it doesn't matter.
hitting a cone, 10 points, what counts as hitting a cone is if the axle goes over the cone. or any part actually hits the cone.
You can straddle a cone or extend your bumper over a cone as long as you don't touch it or you axle goes over it.
A spotter hitting a cone counts as a cone.
You can only get point for hitting the same cone once so once it is hit run it over all you want.
If a spotter moves a rock that hits a cone it counts but if your tire shoots a rock out that hits a cone or shifts the ground and it fall over that does not count as a cone until you run over the spot where the cone was.
Spotter strap counts as 8 point and is only counted once per course. and only counts once tension is applied the spotter can hold it but once he pulls the rope its 8 points.
They hardly ever get used.
Don't touch a moving vehicle instant 10 points.
Out of bounds you can go up to 50% out of bounds in one clean movement like rolling down a hill didn't stop in time. saving a roll. If you inch out of bounds you get a warning you cannot go any further out of bounds. You don't have to back up if you are going parallel or coming in bounds by going forward. Judges are pretty lenient on this just tell the drive before he starts how tight they are calling out of bounds etc.
Now the course you need to travel the course flow that means you need to go through the cones in order and direction, so if it says go through gate 1 but go on the left side of gate 5 first you need to go on the left side of gate 5 not the right side, this makes it hard. But you can go anyway you want in that area but around or through gates in there order.
You will see sometimes they have a large area say you cannot make a hard right you can go past it an turn around in the large area this is aloud as long as you don't travel around a gate or through a gate. This is sometimes a hidden way to make a corner without backing up.
If you go through a gate you can come back through the gate but you will need to go through the gate again before continuing, think of it as you didn't get all the way through the gate the first time.
This works on all gate except the starting gate. The starting gate turns into out of bounds once you go through it.
You cannot go through any gate out of order. now a bonus gate sometimes is an alternate route so you can got through the bonus or the gate, or sometimes it is just an extra gate. be careful sometime the gate is easy but traveling the direction of the course leaves you a really hard return.
Remember this!!
You need to complete a gate before traveling to the next gate.
You need to get at least 3 tires through a gate to count as clearing the gate.
Touching a cone with the tires counts as the tire going through the gate this is the 3 tires dirty rule.
So essentially you can hit one cone with 3 tires which is basically impossible usually 1 goes through clean but the other 2 can hit the cone.
You need to be traveling through the gate and get 3 tires through you cannot pull up get one through back up and then get the other 2 through.
So if you hit a cone use it to your advantage now you can take the easy line.
Sometimes a bonus while taking a cone out +10 but making the gate -10 cancels each other out is the better line.
Just saying with 3 tires dirty you can make just about any gate. And use this to your advantage if no one else is making the gate don't spend 8 min trying not to hit the cone just take it out clear the gate and save the time to do better on the rest of the course.
Time you have 10 minutes to complete the course if you finish it faster it means absolutely nothing so take your time but 10min goes fast.
Spotters CAN move rocks just don't hit the cone, he can get rocks logs whatever naturally there from anywhere except another course.
Then at the end you have 3 min to return rocks back to the original spots or else you just helped out all the fallowing teams.
We always forget to unstack so please remind us.
Any other questions let me know. I know it is a lot but at the same time it isn't.
