Prior to the competition, drivers will have the chance to watch a course overview video as well as walk the course to see the obstacles.

-While driving the course, City of Columbus staff will be on site to help drivers locate the next obstacle and understand the objectives, but will not be able to provide assistance in navigating the obstacle.

-Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place
In the event of a tie, a pre-selected obstacle will serve as the first tiebreaker; a second preselected obstacle will serve as the second tiebreaker. If two or more drivers are still tied for first place after two tiebreakers, they will run the course again to determine a winner. If two or more drivers are still tied for second or third place after the first two tiebreakers, they will split the prizes.

-Points vary by obstacle, with the maximum possible score being 100 points
