OVERVIEW
• The object of Naga City Urban
Challenge is to visit 8 to 10 checkpoints wherein all of those are Penafrancia
Feast relevant in correct order and return to event Start. The first team back
wins.
• The only allowed methods of travel
are by padyak or by foot. Any and all other methods of transportation, including,
but not limited to, any form of private transportation, car, taxicab,
limousine, skateboard, scooter, motorcycle, skates, are strictly prohibited.
Any team using a disallowed form of transportation will be immediately and
summarily disqualified.
CHECKPOINTS
The Clue Sheet
• Teams receive a Checkpoint Clue
Sheet moments before they're released from event headquarters. The locations of
all checkpoints are embedded in the clues on the Checkpoint Clue Sheet.
• There is no set course to Urban
Challenge, nor are checkpoints marked. Teams prove they visited each checkpoint
in the correct order by photographing themselves at each checkpoint. All team
members must be in the photo.
• At the finish, the Passport and
Photos are verified. Photos must be exposed in the correct order.
• Example: Your team gets checkpoint
3 as your first checkpoint. Your camera must contain photos of all members of
your team at checkpoint 3, then 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 1, and finally 2. Your team can
take more than one photo at each location, but the photos must be taken in the
correct order.
• Your team is allowed to take
multiple pictures of a checkpoint to make sure you "got it" but you
can't take pictures of two different places because you are not sure which one
it is. For example, you think that Checkpoint 3 is either 121 Mayon Ave or 125
Mayon Ave. Taking pictures at both addresses will eliminate your team. Taking a
checkpoint photo of a location that is not a checkpoint eliminates a team from
the race. Urban Challenge will endeavor to avoid becoming hyper-technical, but
a picture with both team members in it will likely be viewed as an attempt to
prove the team visited that spot because they thought it was a checkpoint, not
a shot for the scrapbook. A visitation photo of an incorrect checkpoint always
eliminates a team.
• In the unlikely event that a team
visits a correct checkpoint, but visits it out of order, it may repair its
error by returning to the missed checkpoints, taking another photo, and then
visiting (and re-visiting where necessary) each succeeding checkpoint. For
example, a team mistakenly skips checkpoint 5, and then goes to checkpoint 6,
then checkpoint 7. After checkpoint 7, the team realizes its mistake. It may
repair its mistake by backtracking to checkpoint 5, then checkpoint 6, then
checkpoint 7, and then continuing on the course.
FINISH
• Urban Challenge officially ends
five hours after the first team leaves event headquarters. Teams that have not
returned to event headquarters within the time limit are eliminated. Five hours
of adventure is enough for one day. All teams are required to return to event
headquarters.
UNIFORM
• Only the Events Sponsors Name/Logo
will appear on the Events Singlets
• Teams must display their number on
the front of one team member's shirt and on the back of the other team member's
shirt at all times during the event. Failure to do so is grounds for
disqualification. Teams are encouraged to wear matching apparel.
RACE WITH HONOR
• No team or member of a team may
act in a way that physically impedes the progress of another team. Violation of
this rule results in immediate disqualification of the team.
• No team or member of a team may
push, trip, hit, spit at, or otherwise invade the personal space of any other
person whether they are a challenger or spectator. Violation of this rule
results in immediate disqualification of the team.
