† : Long-jumping : The process of jumping between adjacent systems without the use of Jumpgates. A strategy commonly used to evade Interdiction fleets that may be stationed at these bottlenecks.
†2 : Friendly Fire : Although Friendly Fire will be legal for these events, the Staff will NOT be compensating any prestige loss/deaths that may result. We consider this as a price of entry into the competition.

No long jumping? Sounds like this race is going to take a long time.

I'll be there  Not gonna actually race but could I get in a scout or something so that I can take some footage of the races. Let's say race 2,race 4 and race 6. Each one I'll film seperately and edit them with some commentary by yours truly and maybe one other commentator (volunteers?) Hopefully you all will let me do this. Just sounds like fun for me and the community. Hopefully, there will be some good amounts of FF going on in races 2 and 4 and some fire exchanged between UGTO and ICC in race 6. Looking forward to doing this if you all will let me.
