Rules
WaterTribe reserves the right to cancel any event at any time for any reason or
no reason. If WaterTribe decided an event must be canceled, all entrance
fees will be refunded.
WaterTribe is under no obligation to anyone unless there is a specific, written
contract with WaterTribe. No Challenger may make any verbal or implied
contracts on behalf of WaterTribe.
The Prime Directive: All rules are subject to
interpretation by the onsite race manager and/or Chief.
All standard WaterTribe rules used for the Everglades Challenge apply to the
Ultimate Florida Challenge except as modified or extended here.
All boats participating in the Ultimate Florida Challenge must be portaged from
St. George to Fargo.
-
No challenger may begin the next stage unless they are fully rested, alert, and
able to safely continue. This determination is the responsibility of the
challenger. Race officials are not responsible for making this
decision. However, a race official may delay the departure of any
challenger for any reason without assuming responsibility for future decisions
to leave.
-
Challengers may receive assistance from race officials for purposes of
resupply, repair, etc. at stage points. Although race officials will try
to render such assistance ASAP, no guarantee of timeliness should be assumed.
-
No caching of supplies is allowed.
-
Assistance between stage points is handled the same as the Everglades Challenge
- no assistance is allowed. But this is modified to
allow delivering of photos and video clips to race officials. Race
officials may also assist in recharging cameras if necessary.
-
Challengers my use boat carts, bikes, and/or walking shoes to do the
portage between St. George and Fargo. Inline skates or any other form of
transport are not allowed. Sailing equipment may not be used on the
portage. All challengers must do this portage.
-
All portage equipment must be carried for the entire Ultimate Florida
Challenge.
-
Any challenger doing the portage at night must be clearly visible from the
front, rear, and sides. Any challenger not clearly visible will be
immediately disqualified.
-
Stage points are handled just like Key Largo in terms of family and friends
being there to greet you and offer moral support. However, unlike Key
Largo they are not allowed to deliver supplies, run errands, or help you in any
material way.
