XR Four Seasons Rally - Halloween 2024 Tournament [FULL]

Hosted on our brand new Four Seasons Rally track, four teams will go head to head with each other through a series of rally races and obstacle race challenges.

Points will be scored based on how many checkpoints are passed, with bonus points awarded to the vehicle that crosses the finish line first.

Each team will have up to three vehicles in total, with the option to swap cars in/out of the 'pit' after each race event.

Teams are encouraged to have fun and think outside of the box with the designs, attaching items to vehicles for the obstacle races to help shunt obstacles out the way.

In the first three groups/events, teams will take it in turns to go head to head with the other teams, accumulating points over the tournament. The final race event will feature the two teams with the most points.

Our new four seasons rally track will be revealed on 27th September, and features snowy heights, descending through spring, summer and fall with an 'off-road' style theme for most of the track. This tournament will then kick start on 10th October, running until Halloween. 

THIS EVENT IS FULL. Spaces were allocated to teams that kindly agreed to submit their vehicles to be used for testing whilst I was building the track. I will be running a bigger open tournament next.

Track

Spool heads track starting as two lanes for roughly 20-22ft with a jump into 99MM open track for second half. Features multiple 90 degree and 180 degree turns in both open and two lane track.

Vehicles will be tested with the jump, and if many are failing to make it, it will be removed before the tournament starts and replaced with a merger lane between two lane and open track.

This is a brand new track and it is still being optimised.

Race format and scoring

This is a team based tournament, with teams going head to head with every other team in the tournament. Teams will accumulate points over the tournament. After each team has gone head to head with all other teams (three race events/videos), the two teams with the most points will go to the final which will air just before Halloween.

Rally Race Points
1 point per checkpoint crossed
1 point for crossing the finish line 
3 points for first place finish 

Obstacle Race Points

2 points per checkpoint crossed
2 points for first place finish 
In the final, the winner will be the team that scores the most points in the final. 

Penalties/DNF

Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.

If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.

Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.

Cars leaking fluids will not be able to take part as this will ruin the coloured sections of tracks.

Prizes

Winning team logo will be displayed on a billboard on the track during the next tournament.
