Congrats on the win Curtis!
 
Thanks and I will do my best to explain the scoring, when you start a course which consists of 10 pairs of gate marker placed on the rocks you have 0 points, you have 6 minutes to get through all 10 sets of gates numbered 1-10, each time you get through a set of gate markers you are awarded -2 for progressing through the gate, you can also get + points which you don't want to get, and example of that would be a reverse, if you back up you get +1 points, if you hit a gate ,a boundary , or your self that is +10, if your crawler rolls over and you can not get back on its wheel under its own power and you have to roll it back over with your hands that is + 5 points, so the points can add up fast if you are not careful, you can get a maximum of 40+ points, if you hit 40 points or use all 6 minutes you are done and given a Positive 40 minus your progression points, so if you were you were to make it through say 8 gates that would be neg 16 off your 40 points for a total of a positive 24 for that course, and this is just part of it. Now if you finish a course with lets say it has a bonus section which will consist of extra gates you have to get through and finish the course to get an additional -10 the best score you could have would be a -30, -20 for getting through all 10gates and -10 for the bounus section, from that score you would deduct any penalties such as a reverse, on my last course i had 2 reverses and got the bonus, so I had -30 take away the 2 reverses giving me a -28 for the course.

GREAT job Curtis thats awesome! Those are some badass pictures too, makes me wish I had my XR calibrated so I can piss my friend off with his AX10 who thinks he is a crawling god even though I got him into it....:hehe:
 
Congrats on taking 1st Curstis, a -22 is great.

It was just a small turn out of mostly local guys that are getting into crawling like we were a few years ago, LOL!!! along with Andy, Johny and myself, they all found out that it is a lot different when you set up a course with gates VS. playing follow the leader LOL!!!! but we all had a good time.
 
Sounds like everyone had fun at the comp.
 
Ya especially with andys courses....

Yep and Johny's, they both set courses and I beat both of them, LOL!!!! felt good to win even if it was a small comp, because they are both really good drivers....and usually do better then me..:D
