*TRACK REPICK RULE:
Repicking a track within a round is prohibited. You may also not pick a transition course that ends at a previously-raced course. You may pick a track that begins at a previously-raced course, however. If a player repicks a track and the track is selected in roulette, a 15pt penalty will be applied. At the judgement of tournament staff, if a player who is far in the lead is thought to deliberately repick a track and eat the penalty, tournament staff may impose an additional 20pt penalty and/or disqualify the player from the tournament. All decisions by tournament staff are final and not subject to appeal.
NOTE: Minor changes may be made to format depending on the number of competitors. These changes will be announced at the beginning of the tournament.
