A place to Chill and let all your Anger out, work on your defensive skills, strategy and team building or just let it Go!

For today I am thinking of sticking with Ford


Mice - Ford Focus
Cats - Mustang GT or F-150 SVT Raptor

Only 2 Teams Let's keep it american colours. Red and Blue go get 2 mice and 2 cats of each colours. We'll decide as the rooms builds.

I suggest we stick to the same cars for a few weeks rather than changing them up every week. And set the tuning prohibited/hp filter in room settings to keep what happened last week from happening again.

EDIT: I don't have enough credits to buy these cars because I bought the 20 Million Jaguar this morning.

Thanks for the tag (gotta remember to take the 09 off the end) but I don't have much interest in this sort of thing. If you wanted to help bring back pack racing I'd be down but that doesn't seem to gain any traction. Happy racing fellas!
 
Assuming for number 6 that applies to a cat finishing half a lap or more ahead of a mouse. It is fairly common for a cat to finish a few feet ahead of a mouse during normal play.



So are the cats allowed to help their mouse, or is the mouse completely on its own?

I moved the questions over here.

Rule 6. The cats must never beat the mouse to the finish line on the last lap. Not even by a few feet. As I explained to Wolf, the cats are more blockers. Leading to the second question. The cat may help their mouse or block the other team's mouse.

Roller derby has jammers and blockers. The jammers would be the mouse trying to make laps. The blockers would be everyone else trying to stop the mouse on the other team or help their mouse. Blockers are not allowed to stop and not allowed to beat the mouse so it would be wise to let the mouse go once it has gotten by you and slow to wait for it to come back around and then attempt to slow it down again. The way to help your mouse isn't to push it, it's to keep the other team's blockers away from your mouse.

What about the last ditch skirmish before the finish line? A cat could have a full block on a mouse and another cat could hit mouse into the cat which pushes the cat across the line. How is this ruled?

You poor man... ok... I still have the same cars... We'll see the turn out.. stay tuned! I don't mind reverting back if it is easier.

I'm going to guess that you have never seen roller derby.

It's the job of the jammers to complete laps. It's the job of the blockers to keep the other teams jammer from completing laps and take out the other teams blockers so that their jammer can continue without being harassed. One the mouse gets around the blockers, good strategy would dictate that the blockers would slow (not stop) and wait for the jammer to come around again so that they can hold him up. A good jammer should be 7 to 8 laps ahead of all the blockers by the end of a 20 lap race. If the blockers and the jammers are on the same lap, you're not doing it right.
