Deneb Run Championship

Revision as of 04:12, 28 November 2007 by Roguelazer (talk | contribs) (Wikification and categorization)


Double points may be awarded for particularly special / unique DR races run by DR MCs (as DR-100 was); in which case this will be announced in advance. For example the Season Finale, DR150, should qualify for double points.

Only official Deneb Runs are counted; and the official results as published on VO forum stands (or, failing that, the official results as broadcast by the official race MC in ingame chat). Foo Fighter will track and manage the league table, and he will also adjudicate in case of any ambiguity or uncertainty. Foo Fighter's decision (as pertains to the Championship) is final (the no-bitching clause).

The Championship, started with countback of results back to Deneb Run 101.

Anyone who races in Deneb Run qualifies, no entrance is necessary.

A prize will be awarded the winner: the Championship cup, and Prize money. This currently stands at $62M (of which $55M for 1st prize, the remainder $7M for runners-up) thanks to our generous sponsors: Foo Fighter / [ITAN], Cranston Gorky [ITG], Hortan [SSC], Jestatis Bess [ONE1], and [CLM] - Mystic Rogue.

It may also in future be possible to Bet on the Championship (enquire with the Betting Shop).
