DISQUALIFICATION

 

Three Volunteers per Team
Each team is responsible for ensuring all of their volunteers show up at the appointed time, to their assigned job and fulfill the tasks required. If a volunteer cannot report to duty, it is up to the Team Captain to find an alternate volunteer and make sure they report to the appointed job site. Failure of a volunteer assignment to be fulfilled will result in disqualification without appeal.
 
Team Vehicles in Restricted Areas
Teams found with more than two vehicles on the race course or more than one vehicle in one of the restricted areas will be disqualified.  (Areas restricted to one van include: Leg 19-23 and Leg 32-36. No vans are allowed on Leg 18).
 
Vehicles Following Participants
No vehicles will be allowed to follow behind participants to illuminate the road during night-time legs. These vehicles severely impede traffic.
No Bicycles or Dogs
No bicycles or dogs are allowed to accompany participants on the race course. Team members found biking the course are assumed to be accompanying participants and the team will be disqualified.

Reflective Gear

Each team must have a minimum of two (2) reflective vests and two (2) flashlights (or approved HTC/PTC Hat with Headlight) to present for inspection at the Start Check-In Tent. Teams are then issued the official race wrist wrap. All team spectators must wear reflective vests from 6:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m., whenever outside the van.

Scoring Sheet
Teams who do not provide a completed Scoring Sheet at the finish of the relay will be disqualified.
 

Start Time

Any teams found starting the race earlier than their assigned Start Time will be disqualified (see Seeding)

 
No Oversize Vehicles
No vehicles 6'6" or wider, or longer than 19', motor homes, buses or limos are allowed on the course by any team or team support. If you have doubts about the legality of your vehicle, contact the HTC/PTC Office prior to the relay.
 
Public Nuisance Rule
Participants who are reported to have littered, urinated, or defecated on private property will immediately be disqualified. Please use good judgment and be considerate of property owners along the course. Portable toilets and ample garbage containers will be available at each exchange point.
 

No Tents

Teams or participants found using tents at designated sleeping areas will be asked to dismantle them and risk dq.  Tents take up valuable space for others to sleep.

 

Save the Party for the Beach!

Open alcoholic containers, drinking, inebriated participants or volunteers on the course will immediately be disqualified.
