Oo. That's very good nitrogen The speed skating works well along the following route : Start on the ground right in front of the ice at the end of the MH section (bottom right on the map). At the signal, all competitors jump onto the ice and go ! The finish line is under the bridge at the top right. Whether you go the long way round the island (to the left = more speed), or shortcut and lose speed to the right is up to you

how is this done then? everyone at the same time? i vote for handicap 1 and weapons allowed this way we can tackle our opponents only problem is that everyones life will drop to 1 after some time.... we have to be fast to start the race :/

after our recent testing, martin, i can say it's so easy to screw up your run, even without weapons involved. ofcourse, there is a possibility we'll become more 'professional' after some training, but still i don't think there will be enough room for any weapons. i'd say - wanna weapons? go scrim!

Tch ! Always with the shooting people ! No weapons and no jumping allowed (jumping makes it too easy to get past the island).
This ought to work : races are 4 at a time, with a starter shooting a rocket (or something). You jump onto the ice and skate your little legs off. Barging and shoving is allowed, but that's it.

If no weapons were used you could get everybody to a single line in insta and shoot a starting shot RIGHT in front of everyone as in make a starting line (everyone else on the different team). If someone leaves too early, they're "fired" from the race o = player <--o = guy who starts the race ---- = rail shot x = the guy who started early o | o | o | o | | | | | | | | | < | - | o | 3.. | | | | | | | | 2.. | o | o | | o | | | | 1.. | - | - | x | - | < | - | o | GO |

Basically that drawing meant that there is a starting line and a shooter and when the shooter shoots, people can start running. The shooter goes so that everybody are on a straight line in front of him and takes a step to side towards the way people are going to.
If someone makes a false start, they get fragged by the shooter because the shooter shoots a starting line in front of the runners.

No martin. Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush last night and and just dashed off a quick post. A few of us (kry, Lam, Mr_B, k0rfi), along with a scattering of drunks (Mars, swampy,s skty) had a long play on Distant Screamsm, testing out the starting procedure, setting up the route and generally just testing it all out. A 4 person race worked well, with 4 marshalls. 1 starter, 2 checkpoints (1 at Red Bridge, 1 below Blue MH Tower) and a floating marshall to record a demo of the race and keep an overall eye on things. The race starts at the top of the Red MH tower, with the start standing on the parapet, firing a Chain Gun in front of the racers. The race starts when the CG stops - anyone taking damage is disqualified for a false start ! No jumping allowed of course (including at the start), just strafe skating. Also no weaps obviously. Jostling and bumping is entirely fair though. Each skater must round each checkpoin, then finish to the LEFT of the starting marshall - he'll drop down from the tower to the ground at the edge of the ice, just next to the tower. Lam's kindly drawn out the route : I'll try to post a short vid of a demo later this week, but the idea is to produce a nice little video to advertise the competition, the put it out on the QL forums and ESR. Lam reckons he could get it streamed, which would be awesome.
