Raingutter Raingutter Rules

These are general rules and speed rules. Violation can mean disqualification from a specific race, from a competition or from the event. In the spirit of Proverbs 19:11, "A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.", we will over-look violations unless they affect the outcome of a race or competition.

Note: rules allow Cubbies' foam boats to be wider so they can't turn sideways as much.
