Dear Members,

It is time for the third edition of our GPS Challenge!

Like the first two, we are planning a full-day event with lots of fun. This event is open to all members of the Almost4X4 Offroad Club who has more than 10 drives with the club. It is a team-based GPS navigation game to test and practice the skills you have learned so far in a safe and fun way. So read the information below carefully, gather your team, and register.

Please read below carefully as there are small changes in the team structure and rules.


OBJECTIVE:

-Teams will be provided with 40 GPS waypoints within a 10 km radius game area at various difficulty levels.

-Each GPS waypoint will have a point value according to its difficulty.

-Teams have to collect as many points as they can before the deadline.

-There is no specified order of points; each team has to make their own route and strategy to collect the most possible points in the given timeframe.


The winning team will be decided by:

- Calculating total points collected.
- Confirming the physical and visual point confirmation elements (more details below).
- The winning team will be announced later in the evening during the camp.


EVENT RULES AND CONDITIONS:

1. All teams will consist of 3 vehicles with only one newbie driver.

2. Teams have to stick together. No separating! To confirm this, teams must provide a group photo at each visited point clearly showing the GPS point marker in the frame.

3. Each team will be provided with a point checklist sheet to fill out. This will be used to calculate your points at the end of the game, so fill it out clearly and neatly. Any missing information might result in losing points.

4. Tempering with point markers or any game elements is strictly forbidden. We are a family and we want everyone to enjoy a fair game so please leave the points in the same condition you found them.

5. No passengers are allowed during the game. If you would like to bring friends and family, they will be our guests at the camp point.

The following actions will result in disqualification:
1. Separating from the team.
2. Tempering with the point elements.
3. Any damage to your vehicle which requires a police report.
4. Reaching the finish point after the final deadline.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Offroading could be a hazardous sport, and there is always the risk of seriously damaging your vehicle, yourself, or your passengers. By signing up for this event, you accept full responsibility for any incident that could happen during the event. Please drive safe and remember your training.

See you all in the sand.
