CheckPoints                                                                       Name: _____________

 

                                                                                                Team # _______

 

All CheckPoints will be "passage points".  This means that if you see one (and you may not see them all (heh, heh, heh)), don't stop; you will be clocked as you pass.  Errors in arrival time at CheckPoints are NOT cumulative.  That is, each leg of the Rally stands alone -- this is to your advantage.  If you have an error at CheckPoint 1, you start "clean" at that point for the next leg. 

 

There may also be "on-your-honor" CheckPoints (unmanned) where you will be asked to record your Rally time at that point.  Be sure to write down time-of-day (NOT elapsed rally time) using both minutes AND seconds at any such CheckPoints.

 

Penalties

Penalty points are assessed as follows:

 

            For each second EARLY at a CheckPoint                        2 (to discourage speeding)

            For each second LATE at a CheckPoint               1

            Maximum LATE penalty at a CheckPoint              300

            Missing a CheckPoint                                              600

            Missing an asked question                                     50

            Headlights off at CheckPoint                                   100

            Seat belts unfastened at finish or CheckPoint       500

            Receipt of a citation or having an accident            Disqualification

 

If you get lost...

 

If you get lost, try to rejoin the course and make allowance for time lost.  If you get so hopelessly lost that you give up, open your Emergency Envelope.  A map of the area is enclosed showing the final destination and the phone number.  Remember that if you open the Emergency Envelope you are disqualified.

 

Equipment

The only equipment allowed for the Rally is pencil, paper, watch, and calculator.  If you have fancy rally computation equipment, leave it at home.  We suggest plenty of paper and a clipboard.

 

Average speed

AT NO TIME SHOULD YOU EXCEED THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT!

 

Rest stop/Free Zone

There will be an opportunity to refuel and/or drain biological tanks during the course.

 

 

 

 

 

Rally Rules

The following general rules are absolute:

 

                        1.         Write your team number and name in the space provided above.

 

            2.         Follow each instruction until the next one takes over.

 

            3.         Write the answers to questions asked in the spaces provided.

 

            4.         Unpaved (dirt or gravel) roads DO NOT EXIST for rally purposes.

 

5.         Driveways, entrances to parking lots, shopping centers and so forth also do not exist for rally purposes.  NOTE: You may encounter street signs with a small orange tab saying “No Outlet”.  Such streets are opportunities.  Dead ends are so marked or otherwise obvious and are not opportunities.

6.                  When you encounter a place where it is possible to turn but there’s no instruction to do so, stay on the main road you’re on.

 

Terms

These terms will be found in your rally instructions; they simply permit standard abbreviations.

 

            cm                              "course marker"  Used only to reassure you that you are on course.  A cm can be on either side of the road unless the instruction says differently.  cms are easily visible from the car.  If the cm appears in quotation marks it means "sign that says" rather than the object itself.  For example:

 

                                                cm "Winslow Church" means a sign that says Winslow Church

                                                cm Winslow Church means the church itself

 

Opportunity count is reset by an instruction or a course marker; not reset by a question.

 

            bear                            go in a direction of less than 90 degrees to your present direction of travel as, "bear left".  (An alternative meaning is "large fierce animal" but we won't normally use that one on the rally).

 

            acute                          a turn considerably more than 90 degrees to your present direction of travel. 

 

            Y intersection          an intersection shaped like the letter "Y" where you are approaching the fork in the "Y" from the bottom leg.  You can only bear right or left at a Y intersection.


 

 

            T intersection          an intersection shaped like the letter "T" where you are

approaching from the bottom leg.   At a T intersection you can only turn left or right.

 

           cast                             means "change average speed to".  Change your
average speed to the value given and maintain that speed until further notice.

 

           odometer check      The odometer check leg is 13.4 miles      

 

opp                             for rally purposes, an "opportunity" is a valid street or road.

For example, "turn left at the third opportunity past cm Winslow Church" would mean to turn left at the third PAVED road past the Winslow Church.  Driveways,  parking lot entrances and, of course, dirt or gravel roads are NOT opportunities.  Also see the note about “No Outlet” signs above.

 

Opportunity count is reset by an instruction or a course marker; not reset by a question.
