How To Play Cops-n-Robbers
Object of the Game: Robbers attempt to escape for a full 20 minutes,
using any part of the track he wishes, unless agreed upon by the host
and players to use boundaries. The 'cops' chase the robber and
attempt to 'bust' the robber. How a bust is counted: A police vehicle
must force the getaway vehicle off its wheels (ie., onto its roof or side)
or force him into a part of the track he cannot escape from, and then
make contact with the robbers vehicle while his vehicle cannot drive!
Continue the chase again until the clock runs out.

How to Begin a Game: The game begins by gathering your buds,
and choosing which track and trucks you will use. You must decide
amongst yourselves who is to be the robber, and select the
appropriate vehicles.

It is and has always been the rule that if a robber is driving along, with
no cops in the immediate vicinity, and accidentally topples his own
vehicle on its side, THAT IS a potential capture, and all a cop has to
do is come make contact with the robbers vehicle before the game
sets him back on his wheels. THE REASON for this rule is simple. If a
cop slams a robber onto his side, but he makes contact with a wall,
building, tree, whatever, he could easily argue that it was because of
the wall that he fell over. I thought we had ended this confusion long
ago, but it seems there are still people who are not clear on this rule.

Hosting and Scoring: The host of the current match will record how
many times the robber was "busted". As soon as a "cop" makes a
bust, by flipping the other vehicle, he MUST report it via an in-game
message. When the game ends, all players will confer on the number
of busts to agree whether or not the host has the correct number. If
any Cops leave the game in progress, it shall continue unless
decided by the players to end the game. If the Robber leaves a game,
the Host is to end that game. Main Rule and the most important:
HAVE FUN! If you're going to be a robber, realize beforehand that you
will probably get caught. If you honestly believe a bust was unfair or
somehow unjustified, speak with the game Host in a calm rational
matter, but DO NOT WHINE about it. Everybody gets caught
sometime!
