This list should be fairly complete, but if your group is missing and you know you sent in the charter forms, write us and we'll see what went wrong. Those of you without a chapter should get in touch with these groups soon -- club championships should be going on right now, and regionals will take place soon after. Speaking of which . . .
 

We need more groups to ran regionals! If you want a regional held in your area, you'd better volunteer now -- otherwise, you'll have to go to Milwaukee to compete.

So far, we've held one regional, in the Northeast. We'll probably hold another one up there, because the first one wasn't very good -- everything was too rushed, and the event had some serious flaws. We've patched the holes and think we have a pretty good championship line-up now. The first Northeast Regional will still count (though I don't know who won -- why haven't you sent me a letter, guys?), but we'll have to hold another one to be fair to all those who couldn’t make it and who didn't enjoy the competition.

Meanwhile, NOVA plans to hold the Midwest Regional at Con*Tretemps 7, April 22 to 24, in Omaha, Nebraska. Contact NOVA (their address is in the roster) for more information.

I haven't seen any other offers to hold a regional other than NOVA's. Remember, time's running out. If nobody volunteers to ran a regional, there won't be one.



 

Arena Layout

The format of the championship season was discussed in ADQ 5/4 and has not changed. This is a description of the arena events themselves. All events in the World Championships will take place on the bound-in maps from the new Car Wars Arena Book.
 

First round -- Div. 10, New Boston Arena

The first, qualifying round of both the regionals and the worlds will be the same. The competitors (any number up to 12) start out evenly spaced around the central tower in the New Boston Duelling Arena. The cars all face directly away from the tower and are stationary. The arena is over at the end of the phase in which any participant has four or more points; this person is declared the winner, and second and third place finishers (if required) are determined on the basis of points scored up to that point. Points are scored in the following manner: For eliminating the maneuverability of a vehicle, 1 point; for eliminating the firepower (vehicular -- hand weapons are ignored) of a vehicle, 1 point; for losing your own maneuverability or firepower, -1 point each. Killing (or losing) the maneuverability of a vehicle that never had weapons is worth double. Two restrictions apply: 1) No weapons may be fired until the beginning of the third turn. 2) No solid or liquid dropped weapons, and no flame clouds of any sort, may be brought into the arena.
 

Second round -- Div. 20, Double Drum

The final round of regionals and the semi-final round of worlds will also be identical. The competitors (as many as necessary) start out evenly spaced along a line drawn from the midpoint of Gate 4 to the midpoint of Gate 5, all facing Gate 1. All are stationary. The winner is the first competitor to enter the far drum, turn around the central obstruction on that side, enter the first drum and exit the arena through Gate 6; if second and third place finishers are required, the arena is continued until two other participants have completed the course. There are no restrictions in this arena.
 

Final round -- Div. 30, Hammer Downs

The climax of the 2038 Autoduelling Season will take place at Hammer Downs. Competitors will start out evenly spaced along the walls to the lower level, moving 40 mph. The arena will be based solely on points, awarded for a variety of accomplishments: crossing checkpoints, completing jumps, hitting targets on the walls and killing vehicles (separate points for mobility and firepower kills). The exact details of the arena layout will be available at the Steve Jackson Games booth at Origins/GenCon '88 at any time during the convention. Only one restriction
applies to this event: No gas engines or gas tanks. (The Hammer Downs management disapproves of gas-powered duelling.) Metal armor is acceptable, however.
