DINO Indiana: Mountain Bike, Trail Run, Off-road Triathlon, and Adventure Racing

MISSION Adventure Race

SCORING SYSTEM
This race is designed to keep all participants on the course for close to 18 hours. (Most participants will not finish the entire course).

Scoring is based on the total number of checkpoints punched minus any penalty points. If two teams have the same score, the tiebreaker is the first finish time.

Example:

Rank	Team	Chkpts	Pnlty	Score	Time
1st	X	27		27	17:34:53
2nd	Y	27	1	26	17:23:20
3rd	Z	26		26	17:59:43
4th	P	25		25	16:01:37
5th	D	25		25	17:25:29
6th	Q	26	1	25	18:00:34

Checkpoint instructions and coordinates will be provided in segments throughout the race.

Checkpoints in each segment may be punched in any order. Before moving to the next segment, all prior checkpoints must be punched or the "Missed / Skipped Checkpoint" rule will be enforced (lose that point plus one penalty point).

The midnight finish is a cutoff time; participants reaching the finish line after midnight will be penalized one checkpoint plus one checkpoint per minute late. Why? We want the finish to be exciting and dramatic! Your friends and family will know almost exactly when to expect you finishing, and other teams will be there cheering you on.

Maps and checkpoint coordinates will be provided (one per team or soloist) at start time (6:00AM).
