OFFICIAL RALLY RULES
1. Solo Shots
A Solo Shot can only be completed by ONE nominated Runner. Choose wisely — once nominated, no swapping! The nominated Runner must complete the challenge to the Spotter’s satisfaction before the Crew can advance. Nominate your Runner via the app before attempting.
2. Crew Challenges
All Crew challenges require EVERY Runner to participate. If any Runner is missing or does not complete the challenge, the Stage will be failed and the entire Crew must redo it from the start. No shortcuts!
3. Launch Codes
Every Launch Code is exactly 10 characters long and can be alphanumeric. Read all instructions carefully — the answer is always there if you look closely enough! 👀
4. Blast Zones
Be sure to check in early — the LAST Crew to check in at a Blast Zone will be pulled from the Rally. No exceptions! Every second counts so keep moving. ⏰
5. Friendly Fire
The first Crew to check in at a Friendly Fire will be given the option to hit any rival Crew with a 5 minute Misfire. Use it wisely — or not so wisely! 😈
6. Finish Line & Misfires
Once you cross the Finish Line at the final Stage your timer does not stop until ALL outstanding Misfire time has been applied first. Misfires must be served before your final time is recorded!
7. Respect & Sportsmanship
Be respectful to all Runners, Spotters and members of the public at all times. Remember — this is a game! Have fun, enjoy the experience and embrace the spirit of the Rally. Good vibes only! 🙌
8. Need Help?
If you get stuck at any point during the Rally, contact Control via SMS on 0477 830 378. Please allow a moment for a response as Control may be busy keeping the Rally going! 🏁
