View Full Version : How the Bonus Line works...

OK guys, just so everyone is clear on this...

Bonus lines are mid course, your time and penalties count. So, you could easily point out trying to get a -10 from the bonus. If you take a reverse, it counts, if you hit a gate, roll over, touch the rig, these all count as penalties.

If you want to bail from the bonus line, you can do so at any point, and move on to the next gate in the course.

In order to receive any bonus points, you must complete the course. If you complete the bonus line, but only make it to gate 8 in a 10 gate course, you will not get -10 points for completing the bonus line because you did not complete the course.

Time doesn't stop, halt, or change durning the bonus line, so if we are running 10 gate courses, 4 gate bonus line, all in 6 mins, you have 6 mins to complete all 14 gates if you decide to attemped the bonus line...

Any questions on this?

Are you doing different colored balls or something for the bonus gates?

And there will be a sequence and intended direction to the bonus line... gates numbered 1 - 5... not sure if we will have all 5 in one line, but I have them in case.

Also to throw this at ya! Bonus line gates do not receive progress points... so you don't get -10 and then -2 per gate.... only -10 if completed and course is completed.

And yes... this series will offere -2 per gate for progress.

So they are Bone Us gates with Blue Balls ??? I'd expect no less. :p


I figure you'd have to have confidence like a mofo to run the bonus line's. Or be near the bottom of the pack maybe. :hihi: You could really screw up a good day OR possibly "jackpot" your way into the finals. Hmmmm......
