A Few Rules to Keep in Mind
Scoring
Scoring will be determined based on a point system - not just who gets back the fastest; though that will come into consideration! Each station will be equipped with an FBSA volunteer who will stamp a scorecard.
It's All Fun
No hindering another team's progress! Clues will not necessarily be readily visible, but you can't screw things up for the team behind you (except if there is a Yield in play). If you do, and get caught, you'll be DQ'd.
Ooopsie!
If you go to the wrong place and happen to stumble on a challenge... you have to go back and reset, and go to the correct place.
We're All a Team
Each player will receive an identifying item - like a lanyard, a fanny pack, or something similar. You'll need to keep these visible at all times to identify you as part of the race. Additionally, your team's vehicle will have identifying marks because...
There's No Speeding
All driving laws apply! If you get pulled over for speeding, running a stop sign/light, or another traffic violation, you're automatically disqualified.
