New Day, New Leg!
Have you ever heard of a GTA Road Rally? No? Okay. A GTA rally is a road race named for its "Game, Tour, and Adventure" elements.
Each day of WdC's Birthday Week a new set of clues will be provided for that day's destination. At designated waypoints along the way toward the final destination, each competitor will be required to review an item in a port. In our version of the rally, scoring is based on your ability to correctly identify and review items in selected ports based on given clues, and the timestamps of your reviews.
