The RacesSprint RaceAt random times, I will start races (GO GO GO), and when a race starts you will have to reply in this thread as soon as possible with the word "finish". Whoever says "finish" first wins!Feature Race
This race is a little longer, but not so hard. After the start is announced, players must post ‘Start’ as quickly as possible.Then they must wait for one (1) hour, then post ‘pit’.Then they must wait for another hour before posting ‘finish’ to end the race. This is a quick summary. 60 minutes between Start/Pit and Pit/Finish. This means you may post your next command on or after 61 minutes.
e.g. Start- 14:31 | Pit 15:32 | Finish 16:33 > Correct
Start-14:33 | Pit 15:39 | Finish 16:33 > Penalty, 6 mins early after pit. 6 hour penalty unless post on or after 16:39
Start-14:34 | Pit 15:34 | Finish 16:34 > Penalty, 1 min early after start, 1 min early after pit. 2 hour penalty starting from finish post. Penalty can be rebuked if Pit sequence is started again.The first person to post ‘start’ will receive 3 points as a “pole bonus”. Those pitting/finishing too early (before the hour have passed) will be handed a penalty of 1 hour added to their finishing time per each minute early they post, unless you post again within the legal time period. If your finishing time exceeds the time of the finish of the race, in which case you will be DQ’ed.Please note: The Admin/moderator will be harsh on this. 1 minute early=1 hour penalty. The Admin/moderator reserves the right that the time read on their screen is the time used.Race Times Tip If a race is started on a specific hour, let's say 09:00, there will not be another race started at that time again.Point Scoring
