EVENT RULES
-An approved judge with a timer and score sheet must be present to have your time recorded.
-2 man, 2 truck teams. (Odd number of participants may require someone to run with 2 different teammates, better time of both runs is then used)
-Both trucks are required to finish the course together unless one DNF's
(don't leave your buddy in the woods)
-You may finish the course alone, if possible, if your teammate DNF's(teammate cannot help at all)
-You may not touch your truck unless changing battery, making a repair, or picking up to DNF
-Repairs are to be done in place where the truck broke down or ran out of fuel (dead battery)
-Repairs on course are limited to wheel nut tightening/replacing and winch line repairs (tying broken line or reattaching anchor)
-When recovering, you must set the anchor and let it go BEFORE pulling with the winch. You are not allowed to hold the anchor in place under any circumstance. Set it and let it go.
-You run the course as a team, but your scores are recorded individually.
-At the end of the event, your personal times are added together and the bonus you receive from scale points is deducted from your total personal time.
-The person at the end with the lowest total time is the winner for the event.
COURSES
-Courses are timed from a starting line/gate to a finish line/gate
-Once the official time clock is started it should for no reason be stopped until the driver has completed the course or has withdrawn due to a DNF
-You are expected to stay within boundaries, if one is crossed, you will need to enter the course again at or before the point where you crossed the boundary. (no penalty, keep it scale)
-Recovery equipment must be in/on vehicle when crossing start and finish lines
