Introduction
l.'Oulranc• is a Prench word meaning " to the ultimate,'' and the L'Outtance Duel Circuit lives up to that defmilion. Few regions present the
vuicty and challenge lbat can be fouod on the L'Outnnce Cin:wt, both in the arenas and on the roads .
Ill this book are writeups on the best known arenas and duel tracks in the Midwest, complete with weekly schedules, notes on unique cveo.ts, and
d.l4grams oflhc ateoaS and tracks themselves. Also included are rules and tips for campaigning on this (or any other) circuit, both as an lndepcndant
or a corporate lcam, and an overview of the duelling season.

How to Use This Book

Two arenas - Gladiator Arena and Lambeau Fields - are already drawn for you. The other other arenas will require a little more work. Most
oflhem will fit on a single Cor Wars Map Sluet; however, three arenas - Brewer's Cellar, Scotio Downs and lhe St. Paul Autoduel Complex-
requite two mapshcets. Each arena map is drawn ar. one-quarter scale, so each little square represents one large square on the map. Simply pick
lbc arena you want and copy it onto the map sheet. Once the basic oudioe is done, add whatever details you like, and you're ready to play! We
rccommcad laminating the mapsheets - they last longer, they can also be wiped clean and reused, and dropped weapons can be drawn onto the
map! NOie that, in tbe text. all distances that can be measured on the map arc ret'em:d to in game seale (inches), while distances ofT the map Oik.e
belgbls) are given in feet.
The racetracks - the Evansville Four· Way, Hammons Dueluaclt, Peoria Speedway aDd Stardust Memorial - require road sections, either from
CDr Won Brponsion Set I or Deluu RtNld Sutiotu.
The Cu W41'S Character Sheet on p. 24 is designed to keep trnck of a character's progress through a campaign . When skill points are earned,
simply mark them next to the skills listed; when you bave ten, move on to lhe nut skill level. Examp~: Otto Bonn enters a duel wilh 17 points in
Gunner sldll (only lhree points away from Gunner +3). During the event, he's direcdy responsible for lhrec kills, and earns four points (one for
entering combat, one for each kill), bringing his Gunner skill to 21 point~. or Gwmer-t-3. In addition, be is only nine polniS away from Gwmcr +4;
and, given his recent performance, that wynot be too far away.

Oang activity is high olll'llde the

cities, and although the state pattols
l-55, you're usually on your own.
There are a few arenas and tracks
outside of Chicago, but very few
have AADA sanction.

Chicago
There are many arenas in
Chicago- name the type of facility,
and it's available somewhere in the
Metro area. Tbere are even several

~
aquaduel arenas on the coast of Lake

•
Michigan, with the largest facility at
Navy Pier.
Gambling on duelling is not
only legal, it is well organized and a
very lucrative business in Chicago.
The most famous arenas are tbe War-
rior Stadium and the Gladiator
Arena.

ThaWarrlar
Stadium (PR 2)
Commonly referred to as "Four
Comers," the Warrior Stadium runs
a tandard weekly schedule, and is a
popular stop on the dud circuiL The
waiting list here is quite long; it can ..
often take two or three months to get
a slot - even for Amarcur Night.

Anna Notes
The outside walls are 30' high
and have 60 DP. Tb.e inner walls are
15' high, have 25 DP, and are just
thick enough for a single man to run
along. The central platform and
\& .
comer obstacles are 15' high and
solid - treat tbe edges as indesttuc-
Y Ylilll "1 "lUI ~
tible walls. The ramps are at 18° and
are also indesttuctible.

Unique Arena Events

Tag-learns. Requires four teams of two cars, with each team start-
ing in its own comer. Weapons fire is permitted only on the central
platform and only one vehicle from each team can be on the platform
at any time. If both members of tbe team are on tbe same level, neither
is allowed to fire or ram an opponent. The match ends when a single
team member is alone on the central platform for 10 seconds.
Four Corners. This is a point-scoring event Vehicle kills are
worth 2 points at the start of the evenL Kill points are doubled for each
duellist when he has circled all four of the comer obstacles in any
order. In addition, passing between the obstacle and the nearest comer
is also worth 2 points, awarded when the duellist leaves that quadrant.
Naturally, the duellist with the most points at the end of the event wins .
The Oladiat:ar Arana (PR 2)
Located just across the block from the Warrior Stadium, the
Central City Gladiator Arena is a popular and versatile dirt track that
stays open throughout the year, regardless of weather.
Arena Notes
The track surface is hard packed dirt, treated like a normal road
surface when dry. When wet, whether by rain or the park's sprinlders,
the road surface is treated like standard off-road terrain. Crossing the
edge oftlle ttack is a 02 hazard; in addition, any maneuver taken while
driving half-on and half-off is at +01.

 Tbe JfQW1da off lhe track arc standard off-road terrain.
Tbe TV Bunkers are ~b 30' tall , indestructible and have one
docnl)' for flceiDg pedestriaos.
The slands are 15' tall at the small end, and rise up to 120' atlbe

AnMBvenls
Racing. Since events are seldom called off because of weather, the
arena's racing conditions can. change from event to event. The surface
may be ct or dry. covered with patches of snow, or even Ice! The
eveut conditions themselves are a.s variable as the weather: Staggered
B14J'ts, ouc lap without fire, No-Weapons ra.mmillg contests ... even
motorcyele events!
Most races are bi-din:ctiooal events with 6 contestants, 2 swtiDg
ac each startblg llile, facing opposite directions. DuelllslS arc not al-
lowed to fire t lhcir closest competitor until they have ci'Ollsed an in-
Jenection. They may, however, fire on the other contestants ...
CD1'-7i'oin Racing. Bach player uses three vehicles (same vehicle
bodies!); llll bitched togetbcr- first one has a driver, massive engine
and usuolly a ram plate, the second and third have no engines, 1 or 2
CI'¢W.Dl4ll each, and some weaponry. Note lhat the first vehicle mWJI be
able to _pull the olher two. This is ofle.n run like a racing event, with
lhrec orsbt combatallts racing for several laps, with the car that has the
most of it's train intact at the end as the winner.
When a car witbolll an engine is separated from its lead car, the
erewman can stiJI drive it; he just can't accelerate or file lasers ...
Budgets usually range from DivisionlS to Divlsion60 per car.

Peoria
The birthplace of modem food algae, Peoria hu been deacribcd
u " a nice place to live, but I wouldn't want to visit there." Tbe locals
tend to be w;uy of outsiders, and armed vehicles are not llllowed within
city limits. Still, Peorian.s are strong supporters of autoduelling, so long
as It stays in the arena.
The Peoria Speedway (PR 1)
While not the first to be completed in the Midwest, the rebuilt
Peoria Speedway is one of the best-equipped dueltrack3 in the country.
There are comple~ broadcast and hospital facilities on-site, and, just
acron the street, is Big K's Junque Yard, the leading dealer in
reclaimed equipment. The Speedway bas on.sire storage for 300 gal -
lons of gas. The tanks are usually empty due to the high cost of
delivery.
AmuJNotes
The Speedway track. is walled lo; the walls are IS ' tall, 60 DP and
fixed in place. Thus, line of sight may only be traced along the track
surface. Liquid and solid dropped weapons are forbidden .
Arena Events
Tbe Peoria Speedway runs standard electric racing and duelling
events for most of the year; but every 10 weeks or so wW see an action-
packed weekend of pure gasoline racing. Ratings soar during Gasser
Weekend; any prestige earned during a gasoline event counts double.
The Speedway is unique iD that it does.n 't run Amateur Night com-
petitions. This causes some grumbling, but those wbo really want to
enter can catch a bus or airship to any of the Chieagoland IIJ'CilU.

Arena Events
The South town Arena runs a fairly standard series of events, both
duelling and racing. They also run the occasional tag-team event,
where one member of a team must be outside the barricades, and tl1c
other must be inside, or neither may fire or intentionally ram until they
are separated again . Challenge Nights and Amateur Nights arc espe·
cially popular; due to EDSEL's influence. lhe people have no other
satisfying ou!let for their frustrations . The waiting list for both Amateur
Night and Challenge Nigbt arc very long, though a lot of hotheaded
challenges arc cancelled when both participants cool otT.
Lafayette
Lafayette spcciD.!Izcs in three things: agriculture, ammunition
manufacture, and Purdue University. The university still dominates the
dty and surrounding area, administering much of the city's functions
and serving as the rallying poinl for city defense. Local ammunition
production allows a generous discount here - ammo costs are reduced
20% in this town.
The Mayor Smith Memorial Arena (PR 1)
This is a fairly standard little arena, running a standard schedule
of events through most of the year. On the second weekend of May,

Evanavil e
The sclf-suft'lcient fortress town of Evansville is a fairly sleepy
p1 ce. Tbere are only a few local duellists outside of the Defensive
Drivers, who patrol the surrounding five miles and perform olher
poUct functions. EDSEL has a small presence here, but, like everyone
, they're rather laid back.

The nnmlle Four-Way (PR 1.5)

Nlclmamed "The five-Leaf Clover," the BV1IJI.Sville Four-Way

Dcspilc the remote location, the Pour-Way Is Indiana's second-most-
popular sanctioned duelling arena, ne~~:l to the Soulhtown Arena up Evansville

 Michigan
If you're into spontaneous duel-
ling, Michigan is the state for you.
Everyone's willing to shoot it out -
no surprise, given that Detroit has
both the nation's highest murder rate
and the nation's largest collection of
auto manufacturing facilities.
The public reaction to duellists
here is fairly low - there are so many
duellists and so many arenas that
making a name for yourself requires a
lot of exposure. For this reason, a
characters prestige is halved while in
Michigan, and any prestige earned in
Michigan is also halved.

Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor is a college town, in
every sense of the word. The Univer-
sity of Michigan provides administra-
tion, defense, and internal security for
its residents; it also attracts students
from all over the state and beyond.
Though security is strict, the city of
Ann Arbor provides a pleasant
change from the free-for-all paranoia
of Detroit.

Amax Proving
Oraunda (PR 1)
Amex Combat Autoworks does
most of its vehicle testing well away
from Detroit. There are several dif-
ferent testing areas onsite (a
dueltrack, an off-road obstacle
COUJSe and a quarter-mile dragstrip),
but only the arena is open to the
public. Amex holds demonstrations
in addition to a small AADA-sanc-
tioned schedule of events and month-
ly U. of M. collegiate duelling.

Arena Notes
The outer walls are 30' high and
75 DP, with bleachers all around the
arena perimeter. The inner walls are
15' high and 30 DP. The supporting
pillars have 75 DP. Destroying one
pillar of a pair will merely drop a few
debris counters in the immediate
area. Destroying two pillars will
bring down the wall they supported,
spreading a liberal handful of debris
and obstacle counters within 2" of
the former wall. Anybody within 1"
of the wall when it collapses is going
to take 2 dice damage from above and an appropriate driving hazard.
The central TV bunker i8 30' tall and indestructible, and there's a Cat wid Mice. This event requires five participants; four low-cost
pedestrian bolt-hole on each facing at floor level. vehicles on one team (each starting in a different comer), and one
vehicle equal in cost to lhe other four, which starts out circling the TV
Arena Events bunker. The objectives are simple: The cat doesn't want any of the
mice to escape, and the mice want to get rid of the cat, or get out

vehicles start in the pit areas on the
map, each team in its own half of the
arena. At the start of the event, both
teams accelerate out of the pils, circle
around and bead for the other half of
the arena. A vehicle is only allowed
to fire while it's between the central
barricades.

Movement Chart
The average arena event lasts
about fifteen seconds; the average
race, up to a full minute or more. In
tenth-second increments, the arena
event could take as long as six hours
to play out, especially if the arena is
large and there are a lot of contest·
ants. Add a couple of hours if the
players have to design their vehicles
from scratch . . .

In the interest of speeding up

gameplay, thls opliolll'll Fivo-Pbase
Movement Chart has been provided.
It is used. just like the standard Move-
ment Chart, with a couple of excep-
tions: Dropped weapons that
formerly took two phases to ignite
(FOJs, FCEs, etc.) now ignite on the
next phase. A vehicle is allowed to
maneuver on the lost inch of its move
in any given phase. This includes
spinouts, rolls, skids and maneuvers.

Compared to most of the United States, Minnesota is almost
peaceful. Many rural areas have been continually farmed for the past
fll\Y years - a remarkable fact in this day and age. Although there are
a few gangs operating in lhe stale, lhe Minnesota National Guard is
w:q effective at keeping them out of the farmers • hair.
Minneapolis/St. Paul
The Twin Cities are still the manufacturing center of Minnesota;

nine variable-position ramps, whicb can be lowered beneath the floor
or raised above it a maximum of 1.4 inch at the center. The ramps them-
selves are designed so thai. jumping is impossible. Wben lowered, a
vehicle at the bottom cannot be targeted by another vehicle more than
2 •• from the edge, unless that vehicle is on a raised ramp. Crossing any
ramp edge or comer is a 01 hazard. In addition, the sides of the ramp
are rreated like banked curves for maneuvering purposes - maneuvers
up the ramp are at + D 1, and maneuvers down are at ~0 1. The walls
are 30' high and have 60 DP.

I
licieDcy in putting down riots allowed most of the Twin Cities to sur~
we the Riot Years more or less intact.
There are a number of strict anti-dueUing laws within the Twin
Cllles.- and more than enough law enforcement to keep them. There
iJ some gang activity outside the cities. However, the gangs keep to the
ID!mtates for the most part - unlike most states, the back roads are
ofteu \he safest choice.
Visitors to Uncle Al's Twin Cities Ammo Emporium (a discount
wmhousc on the nonb. edge of Minneapolis) often recieve impressive
bDrgaiD.s during the off-season.

Th• St. Paul Autodual Complex (PR 2)

ln business since 2032, the St. Paul Autoduel Complex has been a
llworitc stop on the L'Outrance Duel Circuit, regularly drawing pro
duellists from aU over the Midwest. The Complex features two arenas,
11 SUDkcn dueltrack and an on~site TV station (St. Paul Spons13, a sub-
51~ oiBON). Events take place daily, and go on nearly 24 hours a
day on eekends, with all three arenas providing action at different
limes.

StiJfdust Memorial Racetrack

The Stardust Memorial Racetrack is unique among duel tracks in
!bat the track surface is about30' below ground level, cutting off lin~
of-11ght except along the track surface.
Bntry to the track is gained through elevators in the pit areas to the
aOJ'Iheast. There is no way to escape the track during an event except
on foot; ladders- are placed every 60' along the walls . In most racing
O'ICIUS, shooting at pedestrians is growtds for disqualification.

7Ncl: Events
There are a few restrictions that cover all racing eventB at the Star~
tlust Memorial:
No Dropped Weapons. Period. Not even smoke or paint are al-
lowed: they teru1 to obstruct the camera views.
No 'nrs-Shooling. Tire shots can end a race very quickly; so
qufckly, in fact, that the spectators feel cheated.
Most races are fairly standard events; all participants start going
tile same way down the long stretch at 60 mph, and have to complele a
setlllllllbor oflaps. Short races use only the inner loops , longer events
e-lbe 0\ililr loops.
Four on the Floor. When there are only four (or a multiple of four)
cnmbatants, lhey start in the center intersection, facing out. Vehicular
fire is prohibited until at least one car crosse.'! the center intersection
after completing one loop. The first one to cover all four loops wins.

Never go into Missouri without

a sidearm and fully-loaded vehicular
weaporuy. Residents of lhe "Show-
Me'' state must be shown gun bu-
rds if you wish to avoid harassment.
Bars, shopping malls and even
grocery stores can be dangerous for
tbe wurist with an accent or unusual
gub.
The stare government is fairly
democratic, at least to residents .
Control is exerted primarily through
the Highway Patrol rather tb.ao ac-
tuallegislalion.
OtT-Road duels are common, as
are alcohol-fueled ioteroal. combus-
tion vehicles. Given the low visitor-
participation at the best-known
Missouri arenas, one might be better
off picking fights on lhe road . . .

.Jefferson
Cit:y
Tb.e Ozarks region is free of
govemmcot jurisdiction; the locals
have a complete lack of respect for
the Highway Patrol, and enough
firepower to maintain that attitude.
Jefferson City Itself is home to dis-
tillers, thugs and fanalics of various
types, and is best avoided by
travellers.

Ozark Off-Road
Aucoduel Arena
(PR .75)
Business at the Ozark Is low,
due to the out-of-the-way locadon,
and the less-than-friendly attitude of
the local citizens. As a result, local

St:. Louis
St. Louis is more a collection of neighborhoods than a unified city.
Most of the inbabitaniB live outside the central city. The fortified sub·
urbs have become "micro-cities" on their own and they operate inde-
pendantly of each other. The residents of Maryland Heights, Creve
Coeur, Olivette and Kirkwood look down on the central city dwellers
as the lowest son of scum ("city rats"), while the city dwellers share
equal hatred for the suburban "fat cats."
There arc several minor arenas around St. Louis, but the Arcb
Stadium is the only one witb. AADA Sanction.

MDA Duel Circuit: L'Outrance 11


Arch St:adlum (PR 1.25)
The Arch Stadium is located in Olivette, just west of central
St. Louis. Being in a relatively civilized part of Missouri, the Arch also
draws the most business, and has hosted the L'Outrance Regional
Championships twice in its lifeti.me.
Arena Notes
The walls are all 45' high ;md 50 DP. The central " arch" is a
gradual ramp designed in such a way -that jumping is impossible.
Clearance under the arch is 15'. The arch itself can take 60 DP before
collapsing (firing on the arch will result in disqualification, however -
repllirs are very expensive).
Arena Events
Over wul Utuler. Just what the title says: the first duellist to travel
over and under the arch and escape wins . More often than not, com-
batants will be required to go more than one "lap."

Hammons Duelt rack
12 AADA Duel Circu it: L'Outrance
Springfield
Springfield's maio. indusuy is collection and shipping of fuel-
alcohol. A1Co and Oza.rks Juice compete for the bulk of the shipping,
and surplut is· high enough that aleohal fuel sells for $5 per gallon lo-
cally.
Alcohol fuel has its disadvantages as well - gas engines will only
get 80% of their power factors, 60% of their usual mileage, and main-
tenance costs go up $25/month. It can't be stored for more than a week,
since it attracts water vapor - so use it or lose it.
Despite tb.ese disadvantages, internal combustion is im.mensely
popular in this area, and roughly 75% of the cars encountered will be
using the IC engines. Most of these are old relics, with weapons and
armor patched on, but a rare few are fresh from the factories, and very
dangerous .
Hammon• Duelt:rack (PR •75)
The Hammons Dueltrack is a small, family-owned track that
caters to local taste and little else. Despite the high expenses and low
attendance, Jeny and Glenda Hammons somehow manage to pull a
meager profit from this out-of-the-way ducltrack. Events are televised
by local cable, and they occasionally get nationwide exposure when
popular duellists stop by.
Arena Notes
The track itself is not regularly maintained - each road section
bas a one in six chance of being debris-Uttered. There are no walls
restricting line of sight across the track, altbought there is a 30 DP wall
around the entire track area.
Arena Events
Hammons runs a strict racing schedule- there are no real duell-
ing events. Victory conditions are usually based on a set number of
laps. Bleclric races and gas races are seperate - even with only al-
cohol fuel available, gas engines have too many advantages over
electrics in racing. Team racing and grudge matches have the sides
start out in the center of the trac.k, facing away from each other. No fire
is allowed until a duellist completes a full lap.
Amateur racing is also popular; locals will take their street
vehicles onto the track and ra.ce. Prizes for amateur racing arc rarely
more than bragging and salvage rights . However the rosters are
regularly filled, and some thoroughly unusual and spectacular events
result from them.

Ohio citizens drove out EDSEL for-

ces in 2032. They still take pride in this
accomplishment, and show their pride by
engaging in frequent road duels. Racing
events are very populat in Ohio, and
many arenas reflect this bias.
Gang activity is fairly light; Ohio is
one of the most pacified states in the Mid-
west

Akron
Thanks to the invention of synthetic
rubber, Akron is the tire-making capital of
North America. Shipments of tires leave
Akron for Detroit almost dally; in town,
tires can be bought at up to a 20% dis-
count. There are several minor arenas in
Akron, and one major one, the Rubber-
way.

The Rubberway
(PR 1.25)
The Rubberway is one of the oldest
bi-level arenas in the Midwest, and still
one of the most popular among touring
duellists. Action in the Rubberway is fast
and furious as combatants race over and
around the central platform.

Anna Notes
The arena walls are 30' tall, and are
45DP.
The second level is 15' above the
first, and quire solid, although it has bolt-
holes spaced regularly along its length for
fleeing pedestrians. The ramps are solid,
treated as obstacles along their first 1/.t"
and walls after that. The two overpasses
in the center have 111,4' (3/4") clearance,
and are both 40 DP.

Plaument and Point-Scoring
In each official AADA competition, the top fi.oisbcrs earn rating

standings. How many points the competitor rccleves for an arena duel
depends on bis pl cement among finishers of the duet The first place

gets 2. AU oUier urviving participants get 1 point

The R.q:s to Ri~es campaign foUows a character ( r everal

tune o flaming death on the AADA Duel Circuit. This ls best played
as a rolcplayfua campaign, with occ ional side adventures for variety
and to supplement tile duellist' t\m •
In a Rags 10 R.lcbcs campaiga, the duellist (OT duelllng team. if
there are more characters involved} starts out u an amateur, with Do
money and b · , and enters Amaltur Night at a local arena. The
usual prize tor the first-place winner is $1,500 x the arena' PR, and
the vehicle he drove. He ls also all c:d alvage righls on the otber
vehicles. A beginning duellist is allowed to enter Amateur Night up to
three times or u.otil he' flll4hed fint iD an event. If . duellist fails
Amateur Night three times, tb ponsors tend to lhink he's no worth

Using Your Team
You should now have your team of characters creatod, your game
schedule et., and your balance sheet prepared. Time to ·fl;ht!
You've d id.ed to enter the duel coming up l1W week. The
scbedule~:
Arena Event: $30,000- 2 Cars, Warrior Ar a
First, you should choose the characters you wont to use in !his
event. Tbcn, you bould seleot two cars whose total co t does not ex-
cee4 $30,000. There are two ways to pay for these ears:
Use: CorporaJe: Money. In this case, the cost dod.ucted from the
Balance Sbeet, and rhc cars become tbe propert)' of the corporalion if
they survive c oYCD.\. The eofJ)Or8tlon can then do what lt willis with
lhe can - pay to b ve them n:pain:d, $CD them for alvas,e, or just
keep them in invcnlory as is. Jt CIJJIIIDI be used by any chatueters for
non-corporatio purposes.
Us~ a Character's Money. In this case, an individuaJ cbara.ctct
buy tbc vchlcle(s) ou of his personal savings (it's not Ukcly that 8J1in-
dividual will have enough m ey to o Ibis until late in tbe .season -
remember, the corporation cannot loan money to a character). When
an individual buys a vehicle, be can get a · count on the purc.base
b ed on Ills p dge (a corporadon g oo such dlscounQ.
Bv though the purehasc price may be lower, usc the original
price for determining event cl.igibility. When a character buys a
vehicle, the cost is deducted ftom IWl characr.er heel, the vehicle Is
ndded to his per onnl belongings list, and the car is his to u e outside
the arena, lf he wishes. Also, the Individual is responsible for ammo
and repair costs - the corporation cannot pay th e for b.lm.
CtJrpoTtlle Scoring
A tbe e d of each cmporatc evcot, points are awarded to each
corporadon that partleipatt:d. First place gets S poillts, ocond place
g~ 3 points, third place gets 2 points, and aU ther corporate par-
ticipants get one point. At tbe end of each duel, corporate st.andi.ogs are
updated, so evCI)'one can ee here they stand.
CorporaJc Prlz.t
The to pot for any given event is equal to the total cost of
tbe vehicles parti ipating multiplied by the arena' P (Prize Rating).
If, for U!I.D)flle, five l:eaiD$ pnrticlpo.tc in a $30,000 event a the St. Paul
DuellodroJIIO (PR 3), the total cash pot will be $450,000.
Only the top three finisb.J.nS C4rporalions get any prize money.
The lint place team geu SO%, lbe second plnce team g,cr.s 30~ and the
tbb:d pi IUm geu 20%.
In additloa, aJJ ~ who are not killed or knOCked tmCOD.-
sctous OJ receive 41 sw:vivor'$ money" to the nmo or $1,$00 x PR.
Tbis is no a _great amount. but it gives the cllaractm a chance to im-
prove lbc-ir nlll equipment wllhout tapping corpo tG funds . A
character who surrenders or leav the arena whUe the duel is still on
will also rcc:e1ve survivor' money.
Corporate V1Ct0'1 CoiUllJU)ns
Speclal vlctory conditiOilS ean be set up ror any cvenL But for
standard arena batdcs, we use a fonnula that takes into account not
only ho many kills a team racks up, but bow maay o( team's
vehicles and char cttrs survive tbc battle.
Vehicle.kills are worth SO Victocy PoiJlts {YPs), number of survi-
\ling vehicles is worth 30 pOints, and number of surviVIng Qhar ·otcr$ is
worth 20 points,
Each partldpatb:lg team will get ome pen:.cn1ll.ge of the available
points in cacb c.atesory, depending oo perl'oitilanc:e. It you entered an
event wl.lb two cars and one survived, you would get :JO• of the avail-
able 30 points - 1.5 . If you entered the event with five c:lwucters and
only three survlved, you would rece vc 12 points - 60~ of20.
