Ok here are the rules ( boys ) if you have any questions please let me know and I will find out for you. I hope some of you can make it, I'm still working on Sarge.
My rules are alot easier
1. Hammer it and Hold On!!
2. Repeat.
Overview
Before each event begins, there will be a drivers meeting where officials will draw numbers
for the starting line up and go over any questions you may have.
Most points wins. Competitors start each stage with 40 points each and incur penalties/
deductions/earned points as shown on the next page. Explanation of deductions outlined
further.
Penalties/Deductions
1 pt = Stopping - Tires not moving for 5 seconds or more
2 pts = Intentionally reversing course. A reverse after a stop is only penalized as a reverse,
not a stop and a reverse. Once a reverse penalty has been assessed, no further
reverse penalty can be assessed until the vehicle makes forward progress.
6 pts = Using rear steering per each stage
6 pts = Touching a cone
28 pts = Using a tool (winch, HiLift, strap, etc)
40 pts = Out of Bounds (OB)
40 pts = Exceeding the time limit
40 pts = Not applying a cover or weight to a winch cable when under tension
40 pts = Accepting outside assistance while on a stage
40 pts = Pushing, pulling, lifting, etc on the vehicle by a driver or spotter to aid progress
Earned Points
2 pts = Clearing an intermediate gate with both axles.
*Note: Option gates can be worth more than 2 pts.
Credits are awarded only after the stage has been completed.
Once a competitor receives 40 or more points in penalties, thereby dropping to zero
points, they are considered as having 'pointed out' and are through with that stage and
cannot earn more credits.
Rear Steer
Rear steering is defined as changing the alignment of the rear wheels in relation to the
axle, whether intentional or accidental. You will be penalized *6 points for using rear
steer during any stage. No additional penalty points for rear steering will be assessed
until the vehicle starts another stage. Once a team has been penalized for use of rear
steer, the team can use the rear steer as many times as they want during that stage
without incurring any additional rear steer penalties.
Use of tools
A team can be assessed a maximum of one tool penalty per stage. Use of a tool is defined
as readying or removing an item from the vehicle that could be used for aiding
progress. Whether the tool is actually used to aid progress or not, does not matter.
Once the tool penalty has been assessed, that tool or any other tool can be used as
many times as the team may want without further penalty. This also includes hand-tools.
*Note: For safety reasons, competitors must use a cover or weight over the cable when
using a winch.
Gates / Cones
A “gate” is a set of 2 cones and the invisible line between them. Starting gates are lettered
as the ‘A’ gates. Ending gates are lettered as the ‘Z’ gates. Intermediate gates are
lettered ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’, etc. There may also be “option gates” on a stage where competitors
can choose a more difficult route and earn extra points. Example: C1 & C2.
Intermediate gates must be cleared by both axles (wheel center to wheel center) to earn
credit. Only the front axle (wheel center to wheel center) must clear the end gate where
time is stopped. Start and end gates are just that - starting and ending points - and no
points are given for these gates.
Gates must be run in order and cleared in the intended direction of travel. Vehicles may
clear gates in forward or reverse. A vehicle may travel back through any gate cleared,
but must properly ‘re-clear’ that gate again to receive/keep credit for that gate. The ‘A’
gate must be cleared in forward direction, not in reverse.
Out of Bounds
A vehicle is considered Out of Bounds if:
a- Any part of the vehicle, a team member or tool used by the team touches a roped/
taped boundary on a stage.
*b- If more than 1 (one) tire goes over (on the ground or in the air) the outside of a
cone’s intended location.
c- A gate is cleared out of order.
Breakdowns / Running Order
(Sarge If Your) 
vehicle lays over on it's side, the competitors will be asked if they want outside assistance.
Any vehicle lying on its top will automatically be given outside assistance for
safety reasons and they are through with that stage.
Vehicles falling out of order may move back up in line, but no further than their starting
order, by getting permission from another competitor. Competitors will be assessed a 5
point penalty per position lost as recorded at the last stage completed on each course.
At their discretion, event Marshalls can change the running order due to breakdowns or
delays.
Stages will remain open 15 minutes after the last vehicle has run.
Safety
All competitors riding in a vehicle must wear a DOT/Snell approved helmet while competing.
Spotters must wear head protection (soft material not permitted) while on an obstacle.
(Helmets that continue to below the ear are Highly Recommended for Drivers)
All vehicles must have a fire extinguisher fixed inside the vehicle that can be easily
reached, released and used by the driver when the vehicle is any position, both rightside
up and upside down. The spotter must have also have a fire extinguisher outside of
the vehicle that’s at least 2.5 lbs in size that he/she places somewhere on or off each
stage when competing and can be quickly reached if needed.
Sportsmanship
Everyone is expected to conduct themselves in a proper manner towards spectators,
event officials, other competitors and anyone else associated with the events. Penalties
for poor conduct can be assessed by stage officials and event Marshals ranging from
-5pts to total disqualification.
Alcohol/Drugs
Anyone considered to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be disqualified from
that event, forfeit any deposits made toward future events and refused entry to future
events.
Tie-Breaker
Most points earned at last Stage of the event, 2nd to last Stage of the event, etc
Protests
Protests will be heard and addressed up until 30 minutes after the last stage of each respective
class has been closed. All protests must be presented to an event Marshall.
