MUST KNOW INFO: December 12-13th



The small town of Lovelock, Nevada is rolling out the red carpet. The town of Lovelock is donating over $2000.00 in winnings to bring the Nevada State Championships to Lone Mountain. If that’s not enough, the Sturgeons Casino is offering us a convention room for tech inspection and awards ceremony. Discounted room rates, plus food and drink discounts. The Boy Scouts and Lions club are throwing down an opening flag ceremony, and will be cooking burgers, dogs and selling beverages all day.

For room information at the Sturgeons Casino give them a call and be sure to mention you are a competitor at the Rock crawling event.

Toll Free Hotel Reservations - 888-234-6835



Two Classes:
2.2 Pro
2.2 Novice

No judges needed!
The BPRCA has provided 8 experienced judges and a head marshal. We take pride in fair competitions and believe that winning should be determined by driving, not judging.


Entries are $25.00 per class.

2.2 pro classes top 3 will split 2300.00

2.2 novice classes top 3 will split 700.00


Itinerary:

Friday: Tech inspection 5:00pm- 12:00 pm, tech and drawing poker chips for running order.

Welcome party begins at 6:00pm at the Sturgeons casino in the convention room.

Saturday:

Late tech on Saturday morning is between 8:00am to 9:00am. Late tech is a $15.00
fee.

Drivers meeting: 9:30 am at the BPRCA booth at the “BOTTOM” of the hill. If you are driving a car, transportation will be available to get your rigs to the comp site.

Start of competition is 10:00am

we will be enforcing the time called to the line rule. When the competitor in front of you starts, you should have your car in place and ready to go as soon as he is done. As soon as the judge is finished with the previous driver, they will start the stopwatch and give you 30 seconds to start your course. If you have not started your course within those 30 seconds, you will receive a 50 for that course and the judge will move on to the next competitor. The BPRCA will try to be as fair as possible with this ruling, but everyone needs to understand that there are 75+ competitors and we have to finish in a timely manner.

Officials will be pulling crawlers for random re-tech all day.

Estimated end of event is approx 4:00 to 5:00pm.

At 6:00pm, The Awards ceremony will follow at the Sturgeons casino convention room .

The BPRCA will be running 4 courses and a shootout course. (5)

After 4 courses, we will be taking the top 5 from each class and running a 1 course final shoot out to determine the winner.
The shootout will start with the 5th place driver going first and the 1st place driver going last. This format should prove to be very exciting and it will give spectators a better idea of who’s who and who’s in the chase for the title.

Note: your scores will not be cleaned for the finals.


Lovelock is only 1 hour from reno, but it is highly recommended to stay in lovelock for the fun. This is also round 3 of the BPRCA winter series chase.

B.P.R.C.A
2008' Official R/C Rock Crawling
Competition Rules

SECTION 1
Penalties
1.1
Reverse: 1 point
Gate Marker: 10 points
Rollover: 5 points
Boundary Marker: 10 points
Vehicle Touch: 10 points


1.2 - Back Up/ Reverse: (1 pt) point is given when a vehicle reverses course after making forward progress.
Reversing is defined as at any time if the tires move the vehicle backward or spin in the reverse direction,
whether intentional or not. Once a reverse penalty is given, no further reverse penalty can be given until
the vehicle makes forward progress. No penalty is given if the backward movement is part of a penalized
rollover. (See Reverse examples and explanations, sec. 7.1.)
Reverse penalties are assigned at the Judge’s discretion if the actions performed by the vehicle/driver are not clearly defined by the rule.

***** Each driver will receive 1 warning per wheelbase for a back up.
If the vehicle rolls back less than 1" it is considered a warning. if it does it again, even less than an inch, that will be counted as a back up.
Anything over an 1" back up is an intentional reverse and no warning will be called.
You can only receive 1 warning per wheelbase of your rig.
example: You are nagotiating a climb and have already received your warning. anytime you back up or rock from that warning, it is considered a back up until you have cleared the imaginary line where your warning was called. you must be 1 complete wheelbase past your warning to receive another free warning.


1.3 - Rollover: (5 pts) points are given when vehicles rollover, and cannot be corrected without touching.
Vehicles that land back on their wheels are not penalized. No reverse penalties are given until vehicle is
back on 4 wheels. A vehicle can only be pushed back on to its wheels from the side. Anything else is a
Vehicle Touch.

*****1.4 - Vehicle Touch: (10 pts) All vehicle touches excluding “Rollovers” (See Rollover rule, sec 1.3), intentional or
unintentional, are given an automatic 10 points. The judge then will stop time when either the driver calls
for a vehicle touch or the judge calls a driver touch. The vehicle is then moved back by the driver to the
previously cleared gate with the rear axle aligned to that gate. If the vehicle cannot be aligned to the gate
due to course design, the judge will reposition the vehicle to the next stable location after the cleared
gate. This location will be used for all drivers. Note: All gates are still “live” unless a gate has already been
deemed “dead”.

• 1.4.1 - Vehicle Touches include but are not limited to: repairs, repositions, vehicle driving/falling
into the driver.

• 1.4.2 - Time is stopped by the judge to allow for safe reposition of the vehicle only, but is not
allowed to be used for driver review of the course or other advantages.

*****• 1.4.3 - Repairs: There are no repairs off course. All repairs must be done on course and on the clock.

1.5 - Gate Marker: (10 pts each) each gate will be comprised of 2 gate markers. Points are given when 4 wheels
do not travel between gate markers or any part of the vehicle or driver touches a gate marker. A gate
marker will remain "live" for the entire duration of the attempt on the course. Once any gate marker has
been touched or straddled, no more penalties will be given for that gate marker. Only when a gate penalty
is assessed will that gate marker be deemed "dead". No further penalties will be assessed at this point for
that gate marker. (See Gate Marker and Gate Clearing explanations, sec. 7.2 & sec. 7.3.)

*****1.6 - Boundary Marker: (10 pts each) Points are given when any part of the vehicle touches a boundary marker.
Once any boundary marker has been touched or traversed the vehicle must then return to the course with
out making forward progress. During this time no additional boundary marker penalties will be assigned
until the vehicle is completely back on the course. While attempting to return onto the course all other
penalties apply. A boundary marker will remain "live" for the entire duration of the attempt on the course.
Course designer may modify the boundary marker rules as needed to reflect the intentions of the course
design. Boundary markers are not required in the design of a course.

*****1.7 - Maximum Penalty Points:• 1.7.1 -
In 2008 there is no progressing a gate with 20 points.

• 1.7.2 - The maximum points per course are 40. At that time the driver is given a DNF and the run is
complete and the vehicle should be removed from the course.

1.8 - DNF (Did Not Finish): (40pts) are given anytime a driver cannot complete a course for any reason.
(Timed-Out, Point-Out, Vehicle not Repairable, Went Home …etc) Progress points are awarded for each
gate completed.

1.9 - DNS (Did Not Start): (50pts) are given anytime a driver cannot start a course for any reason. To start a
course the vehicle must break the plane of the start gate.

1.10 - Progress bonus: (-2 progress point) will be awarded to drivers for each gate that is cleared by the
vehicle during the attempt of a course. The entire vehicle must clear a gate, and not just break the plane
of the gate, before progress bonus is awarded. These points are deducted from the total course score.
Once a driver has pointed out, no further Progress Points will be awarded. A progress bonus will not be
awarded for the start gate or the finish gate.

3.3 - Scoring starts as the vehicle brakes the plane of the first gate of a course. Scoring stops when the Vehicle
breaks the plane of the last gate of a course.

3.4 - No pre-running the courses. Drivers that pre-run a course will receive a DNS for that course.

3.5 - Starting order will be a random draw for the first course. The running order of subsequent courses will be
run with the first place driver driving first, and the next lowest driving next, and so on.

3.6 - Winching (other than that done to the suspension) or ramping of any kind is not allowed. Using any device
(other than the tires) such as ramps or other objects to make progress in any direction is prohibited and
will result in a DNF for that course.

3.7 - You cannot run the same vehicle in more than one class.

3.8 - The vehicle must run a course entirely with the same wheelbase, track width, ride height, and tires it started
that course with. Any changes to the vehicle (other than winching down the suspension or forced
articulation) by the driver, another person, or any device, while on the course are prohibited.

3.9 - Vehicles cannot be exchanged for another vehicle during the competition.

course.
A gate consists of 2 gate markers measuring no less then; 20" for the Super class, and 16” for the 2.2 class, from inside edge of one marker to the inside edge of the opposite marker.
Every gate has an intended direction of travel, or “flow”, through the gate. This direction will either be marked, explained or
implied by the course designers. All gate markers are “live” until touched.

6.4 - Wheelbase: is measured from axle nut center to axle nut center.

6.5 - Vehicle track width: is measured from the outer most edge of a tire to outer most edge of a tire.

SECTION 7
Penalty Examples and Additional Penalty Definitions

7.1 - Back Up/ Reverse Examples:

Reverse penalties are assigned at the Judge’s discretion if the actions performed by the vehicle/driver are not clearly defined by the rule.
***** Each driver will receive 1 warning per wheelbase for a back up.
If the vehicle rolls back less than 1" it is considered a warning. if it does it again, even less than an inch, that will be counted as a back up.
Anything over an 1" back up is an intentional reverse and no warning will be called.
You can only receive 1 warning per wheelbase of your rig.
example: You are nagotiating a climb and have already received your warning. anytime you back up or rock from that warning, it is considered a back up until you have cleared the imaginary line where your warning was called. you must be 1 complete wheelbase past your warning to receive another free warning.


• 7.1.1 - If the driver intentionally drives the vehicle in reverse, a reverse penalty will occur.

• 7.1.2 - If the vehicle stops on an incline and then rolls backwards a reverse penalty will occur.

• 7.1.3 - If a vehicle is stuck or stopped a reverse penalty will occur if the tires move forward at all and
then move backward. Even if the vehicle does not move (this includes dig steering).

• 7.1.4 - If a vehicle is climbing an obstacle and is bounced backward by the terrain but the tires are still
moving forward, no reverse penalty will occur.

• 7.1.5 - If a vehicle flips over backward, without the driver reversing, no reverse penalty will occur.

• 7.1.6 - Once a reverse penalty has been assessed, no further reverse penalty can be assessed until the
vehicle makes forward progress.

o 7.1.6.1 - Example: Reversing, stopping, and then reversing again will only result in one reverse
penalty.

o 7.1.6.2 - Example: When high-centered, Reverse, forward, and then reverse again to rock the
truck back and forth will only result in one reverse penalty until forward progress is made.

• 7.1.7 - Reverse penalties are assigned at the Judge’s discretion if the actions performed by the
vehicle/driver are not clearly defined by the rule.
7.2 - Clearing of a Gate:

• 7.2.1 - A gate is considered cleared when at least one front and one rear wheel passes between the two
gate markers only in the intended direction of the gate.

then gate 3, and so on).

• 7.2.3 - A vehicle may travel through a gate while it is in reverse and still clear that gate as long as it only
travels though in the intended direction (reverse penalty(s) will be assessed as necessary).

• 7.2.4 - The first time through any un-cleared gate must be in the intended direction and in the correct
sequence of the course layout until that gate is cleared.

• 7.2.5 - You cannot attempt any un-cleared gates out of sequence. If you intentionally enter an un-cleared
gate out of sequence you will receive a DNF for that course.

o 7.2.5.1 - Example 1: If all four wheels of a vehicle pass between two gate markers that gate is
considered a cleared gate with no penalties and a gate progress bonus is awarded.

o 7.2.5.2 - Example 2: If one wheel from the front axle and one wheel from the rear axle passes
between two gate markers (vehicle straddles a gate), that gate is considered a cleared gate. This
however will result in a Gate Marker penalty of 10 points and a gate progress bonus is awarded.

o 7.2.5.3 - Example 3: If one wheel only from the front axle or one wheel only from the rear axle
passes between two gate markers (vehicle straddles a gate) that gate is not considered a cleared
gate. This will result in a Gate Marker penalty of 10 points and no gate progress bonus is awarded.

7.3 - Gate Marker penalty:• 7.3.1 - At any time a gate marker is touched by a vehicle or by a driver, a Gate Marker penalty is
assessed.

• 7.3.2 - If a wheel touches any object outside of a gate as the other wheel from the same axel passes

PRE Registration

In an attempt to have the B.P.R.C.A run smoothly as possible, we are going to require a pre registration. The point of the pre registration is to give us an idea of how many competitors will be attending so we can make the appropriate changes to the courses and have the proper amount of judges present. *****With the growth of rc crawling in our area the BPRCA may grow to the point where we might have to enforce pre-registration to only 80-100 competitors per event. Please be aware of this and know that the BPRCA will leave plenty of notice if this happens.



Sportsmanship
During all B.P.R.C.A events, proper sportsmanship is required. If a competitor or team member (including backup help) promotes unsportsman like conduct, is rude or abrasive to officials or other teams or spectators, destroys property, or displays drunken or disrespectful behavior, they and/or the entire team may be disqualified from the current event and/or future events. The B.P.R.C.A goal is to promote a respectable sport. Therefore unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated.

Payouts:*****
bprca pays cash for 1st threw 3rd for super and 2.2 expert only.
1st= 60% of registrations
2nd=30%
3rd=10%

2.2 Novice will receive:
1st= $30.00 in ckrc hobby bucks
2nd= $20.00 in ckrc hobby bucks
3rd= $10.00 in ckrc hobby bucks

Series standings
*****The competitor with the highest points after 6 events will be awarded The BPRCA championship. Each driver will be scored from 5 out of 6 events. Every driver has the option to dump there lowest score.

Series points will be awarded as follows:
*****

1ST PLACE=101 POINTS
2nd place=99 points
3rd place=98 points
4th place=97 points
5th place=96 points
6th place=95 points
7th place=94 points
8th place=93 points
9th place=92 points
10 place=91 points
11th place=90 points
12th place =89 points
and so on.

After each event, each competitor who had best score on either course 1, 2, or 3 will receive 1 additional point for there series total.

This comp will crown the first Nevada State R/C Champion. If you have any r/c crawlin' game, bring it to Lovelock, NV and throw down w/ some of the best r/c drivers in the West.

[drivnmf]

All right boys and girls, Santa wants all your crawlers ready to go for the Axial Nevada State Championships. There are alot of spoilers gonna be competing @ this event that are not in the overall pionts race. This is a great chance for a driver to move up, or down, in the overall points. Good luck, drivers.

Remeber, this is a double points event. :eek:

Novices will be competing for serious crawler cash. :thumbsup:

Pros are coming from outta state to crawl w/ BPRCA's top ranked Pro Class. :parry:

09 AXIAL NEVADA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N (cheerleader voice off). Oh my, the one thing that I could not get enough of. There was traction everywhere except course 3, gate 9. But that was only a small part of what will forever be a truely epic comp.

First and foremost, Thank yous are in order for the town of Lovelock, Nv. The whole community welcomed some of the nations most talented 2.2 pro drivers and raised a huge purse for the event. The towns people were also treated to a very compeitive 2.2 novice class that kept everyone entertained all day.

The next thank you, goes to the Axial Racing, CKRC, Novak, Wolf Creek Saloon, and all other sponsors of this event. Sponsors of events like this goes to show that r/c rockcrawling is in the spotlite and will stay there as long as there are drivers that compete at this level.

With that, a huge thank you goes to the drivers of this event. The shoot out was held under a cold, moon lit Nevada sky. Oh, did I mention headlights, flashlights, glowing smiles, and a glow stick. I was honored to share comp time w/ a group of people that understands diversity and resolution.

A personal thank you from me to the Wa. and Or drivers, you guys helped out huge and the hand warmers kept me from having frost bitten fingers.

My last round of thank yous goes to the volunteers, judges, and scorekeepers. These foot soldiers work long, hard hours for our enjoyment and thier own. I appreciate every minute of the passion driven effort.
