I've been asked to organize a corp event just recently and I decided to offer it as a general invite to the eve community.
Due to the nature of this rally and the complexity of this event I will have to limit the numbers of gumballers, this number is still to be decided.
There may also be a small entry fee for this event, amount to be decided.
Whats is it all about
The Gumball rally is normally a road race between point A to point B covering around 3000 miles passing various check points on route. To get an idea of what this event is all about check out the Gumball Rally 3000 site At http://www.gumball3000.com/new/launch.htm (sorry not sure how to make linkage).
The Eve Gumball Rally will be of a similar type race.
Any ship is allowed to enter except for battleships.
If your ship gets destroyed along the way you can re-enter the race at the last check point you passed, once you have a new ship. (you will need to inform a referee).
The event will be in two legs and each leg will take place on seperate days (taking around 2-3 hours per leg)
Each leg is time based so it could be possible to lose one leg but still win the overall rally from the 2nd leg.
There will be 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes for the fastest Gumballers, 1st prize being 100 mil isk.
If your interested at talking part please leave your name below, time for the rally is still to be decided.
Please beware that it may be possible to lose your ship during this event, this rally will require more than just speed but cunning and dareing as well oh and maybe a few waepons just to make sure  .
I'll post more details later
Thanks for reading.

The route is not decided yet so i can't tell you, the chances are it will be empire rangeing from 0.8 - 0.1.
The 1st leg will end at a station.

Hmmm, Not sure how you plan on having any kind of real "combat" (even pot shots) in empire, unless you put a lot of checkpoint thingies in .4 or lower around planets, moons, belts, or POI's heheh.
Otherwise, this sounds like a pretty cool event, but like I said, unless you figure out a way to ensure some violence CAN (not will but CAN) occur, you better choose the route carefully, and make sure that at the very least, the checkpoints can be free from concord intervention.

There will be plenty room for danger in many parts of the rally.
I plan to use many moons and planets along the route, this rally wont just be a jump from system A to system B to syetem C kind of event but more towards using the almost limitless space that we have and hardly ever use.
Hopfully even if you dont win each player will have discoved more about eve and learned a few tricks along the way.
I'm also seriously considering not to bother with an entry fee to this event.

This has been mentioned several times about interceptors having advantage over the other competitors, sure the interceptors are fast but so can several frigates.
Rests assured speed wont always help and donÆt forget the story about the Hare and the tortoise.

Well, the hare was dumb enough to go to sleep whilst in sight of the finish line.. anyone that stupid deserves to loose.
I'll remember not to dock one jump before the end to have a nap

I'm interested
Just a few questions, firstly it doesnt specify that you cant have a friend collect the items, so a person could collect half and someone else do the rest and give them all to the one in the race before the finish line, is this ok?
Secondly, what if one of the race contestants tells someone where a checkpoint is so that they camp it and destroy all ships other than the one who organised it?

The easy anwser is no, only the ppl taking part in the rally may collect what is needed.
Having your friends help collect siad objects is not in the spirit of the game, taking more than one object or bm is not in spirit of the game.
Have fun, try your best if you don't win then hopfully you have had fun in the process.
Rather than having your friends help why not join in, the more taking part the better.

Hi all,
Well after a long road the event took off.
1st place went to Thunar 2hr36 mins(winnings 100mil), 2nd to Techawk 3hrs 34 mins(Winnings of 40mil) & 3rd place to Kodos 3hrs 39 mins(winnings 20mil).
I made a few errors with the setup, but in general I dont beleive nobody hates me too badly, hehe.
I will run another event when My personal funds build up once more, give me a few weeks to recover
The next event will be anounced here.
Thanks to all that entered hope to see you next time.
Oh and a special prize of a Cruiser goes to Brainsoft for trying so hard but coming last.
