Spectator Platforms
Several “BLIMPS” will be set up to watch the races in the sims surrounding the courses. A notecard will be provided with some recommendations and slurls to the platforms.
These locations will be set up in order to be as fair as possible to the racers.
- During the races all spectators are requested to stay in the designated viewing areas.
- Please remove ALL scripted Attachments and objects. It is strongly recommended that ALL spectators remove or detach all scripted objects from their avatars. This includes gadgets, HUDs, AOs, particle emitters, hugs, sexy walks, wagging tails, etc. You need to detach them, not merely turn them off.
- Do NOT click on the boats, even when they are moored before a race. Race Committee will have zero tolerance for spectator interference with the boats.
Have fun and enjoy the 33rd SL-ACA Trophy !
