Welcome to Avant Tai's Season 4! Due to this season being a bit accelerated and smaller, the race features some new and continuing rules:
Money:
Money will remain the same. You use currency in the season to pay for transportation. Money carries over from round to round so you can save up for when it really counts. If you don't know how to use money it looks like this:
Let's say you have $12 and you are given these options in an update:
*Taxi to the Space Needle* (-20)
*Take the subway to the Space Needle* (-15)
*Bus to the Space Needle* (-10)
Then you would post whichever option you want. As you cannot go bankrupt, your choice is limited to the bus. So, in your next post following this update, you will post:
*Bus to the Space Needle* (-10)
12 - 10 = 2
Money can be exchanged at any time. You MUST use XE.com to exchange your cash. Obviously, depending on which country you're in, that will be the currency you will use. Exchanging cash looks like this:
$1 -> 4054 Guarani
Keep in mind, you should always round UP when you have decimal places in your cash.
NELs:
There are several NELs this season. Due to the shortness of the season, there will be NO speed bump penalty for teams. The last team to check in on NELs will have ALL of their money taken from them that they have accumulated. They will still receive cash on the next leg, but they will have to be frugal about what options they decide. For this reason, teams will get money at the beginning of the leg so no one is bankrupt right when the leg begins.
Yields:
The penalty has been shortened to 10 minutes.
U-Turns:
Remain the same.
Superlegs:
There are 2 superlegs this season. One superleg is two legs smashed together that follows one another. So the first leg is basically a NEL while the second leg will be an elimination leg. The other superleg is of course a traditional superleg. Due to the quickness of the season, legs will be short already so this shouldn't be a big concern.
Fair Play Rule:
The most drastic change to the season. If for some reason you were skipped ahead one update or you have clear evidence that some team was in the wrong update, and you do not call it before you check in, then the placing STAYS THE SAME. I will not deal with anymore arguments post-race about the accidents that occur. So, if you don't catch it until after you have checked in, then too bad.
