10 STAGE PENALTIES
10 A STOPPING One (1) point will be issued after a competitor’s vehicle has stopped forward progress for four (4) seconds. Stopping is defined as a vehicle not making forward progress. A Team whose vehicles tyres are rotating, but the vehicle is making no progress is considered stopped and will be marked as such. Once stopped, the competing team will receive no further calls until forward or backward progress is made.
10 B REVERSING One (1) point will be issued for a purposeful reversal by a competitor. A purposeful reversal is considered when a driver puts the vehicle in reverse and backs up, pushes in the clutch and/or rolls back, etc. A reversal is not counted when the vehicle is nudged back by the obstacle. A reverse in an attempt to save a roll over is considered a reversal and will receive backing points. If a competitor has stopped (after the full four (4) seconds) he/she receives a point for the stop. If he/she then chooses to reverse he/she will receive the point for the reverse. If a competitor reverses prior to the four (4) second stop rule, he/she will receive only one (1) point for the reversal.
10 C GATES Each obstacle is marked with gates or flags. The gates include the start gate, all markers in the course, bushes that are tagged with ribbon, and the ending gate. Ten (10) points will be issued for every gate knocked over. Exhaust, wind, bases that fall over due to unstable rocks that have been touched by the vehicle will not count as a touched gate. Spotters, winch cables, pull straps; etc will count if a gate is knocked over. Once a gate is knocked over it is considered disqualified from that obstacle for the team who knocked it over and may not be counted for a second contact. Rock building to “bridge” over the gate will not be allowed. This includes building high points on each side of the gate with the intent to put the gate in a valley. Gates are designed to lay out the course. The judge has the right to allow or disallow any diversion off course. If a vehicle tyre is on the outside of a gate (outside of the course layout) a gate penalty will be issued. If the vehicle goes around the gate the team will be issued a 50-point penalty. From time to time bush or trees will be marked. Breaking bunting will count for a gate penalty.
10 D LEVERAGE Teams may not add a leveraging device to their vehicle. Leverage points on a vehicle are approved if they are a permanent part of the vehicle (example: A welded on push bare would be allowed. A quick detach push bar that was added and removed throughout the event would not).
10 E REAR STEER To ensure consistency and exactness of scoring, rear steer penalties will be issued only one time per obstacle. Rear steering will be assessed three (3) points per obstacle once it is used on the obstacle. The Outlaw Class can only use rear steering.
10 F SPOTTER MANIPULATIONS Two (2) points will be assessed per obstacle once a spotter pulls on a strap. The spotter may not touch the vehicle in an effort to aid movement. The vehicle must be completely stopped (including tyre movement) prior to spotters touching the vehicle or reaching into the vehicle. Ten (10) points per obstacle. Teams may attempt to right a vehicle in the event of a roll over. Vehicles must be in park or gear and handbrake on prior to righting vehicle.
10 G WINCHES Winching is assessed a thirty point (30) point penalty for use. Winching is considered when a team hooks a winch cable/rope to any anchor. There are occasions where a Marshall may allow a cable to be attached to an anchor for safety and no points will be issued as long as the winch is not used to pull the vehicle. This is called a safety cable.
10 H FLUID CONTROL Lose of environmentally damaging fluids may result in a point assessment - up to five (5) points.
10 I A ten (10) point penalty will be incurred for driver not wearing a seatbelt.
10 J A twenty (20) point penalty will be incurred at each obstacle for a spotter riding on a vehicle during the CS.
10 K A competitor will DNF if they receive any outside assistance during the running of the CS.
10 L Failure to attempt (DNS) a CS without an accepted reason, incurs a 60-point penalty.
10 M Lost or insecure recovery equipment at the finish of a CS will incur a 10-point penalty per item.
10 N Any recovery techniques that are deemed to be unsafe shall incur a 10-point penalty, this includes: Jumping over a winch cable while anchored or moving dampener while winching. Failure to clear an area prior to snatching or winching. Continuing to stand in front of the vehicle during winching after official warning. (Spotter must stand to the side or safely away from the cable during recovery) Handling a winch cable without wearing finger enclosed gloves (gloves to be appropriate for handling purposes) Cable dampener to be positioned on centre third of cable at start of winching Failing to lay a cable dampener over winch cable during all winching operations.

13 SPORTSMANSHIP
The goal of XTREME 4X4 SPORT is to promote a respectable sport and promote sponsoring companies in a professional light. Therefore unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. During all XTREME 4X4 SPORT Events proper Sportsmanship is required. If a competitor or team (including backup help) promotes unsportspersonlike conduct, is rude or abusive to officials, landowners, spectators, sponsors, fellow competitors, destroys property, displays drunken or disrespectful behaviour, they and/or the entire team may be disqualified from the current event or future events.
14 MEDIA CRISIS MANAGEMENT
Preface The media has a right to report news as they see fit. It is important that anything we do reflects positively on our chosen recreation of off road activities and ensures we are viewed as a responsible organisation.
Definitions A media crisis is defined as, Potentially adverse media or public interest generated by an incident at an event, which could threaten the reputation of the event or organisation in the future.
An incident is defined as, (1) Occurs as a direct result of event activities; or (2) Affects the safety of any person engaged in event activities; or (3) Exposes any deficiency in safety or environment protection procedures. General Procedures
It is the Event Committee’s aim to ensure a safe and incident free adventure. However, with any type of motor sport, there is an element of danger and unplanned incidents are not unusual. Therefore, if we have an incident that has the potential to become a media crisis, however caused, personal injury, vehicle accident or environmental concerns, competitors are advised to leave all media questions to the Competition Manager. After he has been briefed on all aspects of the crisis, the Competition Manager will issue a statement on the incident and focus attention on the positive steps being taken to resolve the incident.

16 C The participants must agree to and sign an indemnity form before the start of the event. Failure to do so renders the participant ineligible to start with no refund of the entry fee.
We dont have an internal roll cage yet and the rope is 9mm so we no go. Also l think our truck is more suited to going fast than slow as we still dont have any reduction gears yet either.
But may still wander up for a look.
Joe.
To succeed, focus on the solution, not the problem.

Not at this stage.
As all three rounds are Basically in QLD and it will cost close to $10000 for me to do the three rounds I can't justifie the expense as Metcalfe hasn't really tried to find a venue down south. I think Metcalfe needs to make more of an effort to get this Comp off the ground rather than the 10 or so drivers on this board who are trying to keep it alive.

The SAD thing is that i totally agree!
I know i could not afford to travel to sydney 3 or 4 times a year.
Its not only the Money but it is also the extra time off work and the hassle of traveling so far, it could be justified one or maybe two times a year!!!

what about approaching dave and seeing if he'll take on a 'partner' to try and sort out something down south? i'm sure it'd be easier than for him having to scout around down there trying to find a location.
ATM there is 3 rock events being orgonised in Victoria for 2004, and B4 anyone says it ( no there isnt any mud or water involved). All events will be big and well orgonised by hi profile event orgonisers in close proximity too the Melb CBD.
All shall be revealed in the new year when entry forms and advertising will be sent out.
NOW ABLE TOO SAY WHAT I WANT WITHOUT FEAR OF LOOSING SALES.
The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.
Cheezy
Put me on the mailing list mate,i'm allways up for rock rash and to put on show for the crowd..

I'll be there spectating this round...should be competing the round after that in mod class! SPUA FJ40 with stock engine should be very interesting...don't think Heather wants to spot for me tho
Ok so me, Bec, Greg and Scott went for a cruise down to ROVER PARK over the Christmas break.
We went just to get away but also so we could have a look at the camping facilites, how to get there, whats teh access tracks are like and most importantly HOW big the rocks are!!
It about a 3 hr trip from brissy and by far the best way is down the Cunningham Hwy onto New England Hwy and then onto the Bruxner Hwy. Only one mountain range (cunninghams gap) but is a Awesome road. Flat, smooth and very well maintained.
The turn off to ROVER PARK is well sign posted, once as you leave the Bituman there is ONLY 3km of Good Dirt track to the house and 1km to the main camp site!!!!!!
The Camping areas are by far the most well kept and well and truely the best equiped!
I have some photos of the camping areas. There is a Shower and Toilet block which has 8 toilets (4 female and 4 male) and 4 showers (2 females and 2 males). There is a Games room that has a Ping Pong table, darts board, mini air hockey and a full sized Pool Table.
There are little shelters threw out the main camp site, they have a cement floor, three bamboo bench seats and a Gas BBQ (gas is supplied ).
There are heaps of swimming holes however due to the drought most of them are drying up, However they have a really nice Dam that has a pontoon and some inner tubes. This was a great place to cool down and will be a great place to socialize at XRCC after a Tuff day wheeling!!!
The other Noticable feature of ROVER PARK was the Hospitality!!!!!
Hans and Heidi are magnificent people, nothing is to much drama for them and they are happy to have a chat and get to know you. Heidi has been watching the XRCC Vids and Loves them to death, she cannot wait for the COMP. The tracks through out the park are not as plentiful as some of us are use to. However the park is fairly new and still in its developement stage!!!!!
Now for the Rock!!!
I will let the pictures do most of the talking!!!
The First two Pictures is of an area that MAY be used, it is solid rock however there was nothing that was overly challanging.
There are some really pretty places down there aswell. The first pic is of a huge waterfall (not flowing ATM) and the second pic is the Dam used for swimming, its about a 1 minute walk from the camp.
