Printer-Friendly Five Scoring Pads (straight line)

Purpose:
To cross over the scoring zone with the designated tire(s) after the vehicle passes the entry line, without stopping.

Scoring:
Position score minus penalties.

Measurement:
There are 5 scoring pads, 12" long by 6" wide. The first 6" is worth 10 points, the other 6" is worth 5 points. As a rule the out of bounds marker is placed right against either end of the pad, or omitted completely. Score is determined by the bulge of the designated tire as it crosses over the scoring marker. Once the driver enters scoring zone (usually 15 feet before the first scoring marker) they cannot stop. If the driver stops while in the zone there is no score.

Penalties:
5 points - for each unauthorized stop outside of zone.
5 points - for each reposition outside of zone.
15 points - for each instance of striking a course fixture other than the scoring markers.
25 points - for failing to maintain normal driving position.
50 points - for stopping in the zone while going forward.
50 points - for going out of bounds.

Dimensions:
S = scoring pad - 12" x 6" A1= 11'6"
E = enter line 15' A2= 12'
L = 20' to 50' A3=12'6"
W= 20' to 40' A4= 13'
T = 3' to 5' A5= 13'6"

Note: The greater the arc, the longer T must be. The approach for a forward problem should be 100' from a 90 degree turn and no less than the distance needed to get the unit straight from the previous problem. For a backing problem at least 50' from the enter line for the scoring zone plus the length of the unit.
