Saturday and Sunday

  1. 8AM to 10AM Road Duelling Sessions. Challenge the guy who doesn't know how to use a turn signal to a duel to the death on the freeways of the future. Winners may salvage their kills-- and will gain valuable prestige if the match is televised by a local news copter. (Note: this is the perfect scenario to learn the game with. Experienced duellists will be on hand to teach you the rules of the road, but do stick around and pit your character against other duellists in the 10AM arena duel!)
  2. 10AM to 12PM "Amateur Night" Session! Launch your new character on a gritty post-apocalyptic track to fame and fortune. Gates will reopen after 30 seconds. You may keep your car if you can drive it out. The last duellist in a car that can both move and fire will have his car completely repaired by the arena mechanics. Duellists win $500 (in game money only, not real cash) per kill they score.
  3. 1PM to 2PM More Road Duelling! New players can learn the rules and get a full game in before the 2PM event. Experienced duellists can settle grudges without those pesky AADA restrictions getting in the way...
  4. 2PM to 4PM Divisionals! Pro duellists compete for the big money in the world famous Double Drum arena in Waco, Texas. Saturday will feature a Division 5 event and Sunday will be Division 10. It's every man for himself as every driver strives to be in the last drivable vehicle in the arena! Duellists win a cash prize (in game money only, not real cash) based on the total value of the vehicles competing.
  5. 4PM to 6PM Role Playing Adventure! Autoduellists try to make ends meet by taking odd jobs as couriers, escorting convoys, and hiring on as mercenaries. Do you have what it takes to become an ace? Or will you crash and burn...?

Monday

  1. 8AM to 10AM Road Duelling Sessions. Fire your heavy rockets at the idiot that doesn't know how to merge onto an interstate!

Experienced duellists will be on hand to teach you the rules of the road, but do stick around and pit your character against other duellists in the big 10AM arena duel!)
