Both clearly state you can't release a prb mt off road.

Quote:


Not everyone has the same strat so when you try to mt quick as possible you may have prb upon reaching the flowers.

When I last revised the rules, I accounted for this on several tracks to standardize things.

SR: Prb-racing is not allowed to cut across the grass to reach the tunnel sooner, you can't release an MT offroad until prb has worn off.
DKP: Prb-racing may not be used to cut across the snow, you can't release an MT offroad until prb has worn off.
MC: Prb-racing may not be used to cut through the grass to the right of the first goomba. Prb may be used to cut through the sand on the first turn, after passing the goomba to the left, and grass clips on that straight are also allowed. If prb is still in effect when you reach the part where the piranhas are before the tunnel, you can't release an MT offroad until prb has worn off.
PG: Prb-racing may not be used to cut through flowers/grass, you can't release an MT offroad until prb has worn off.
DP1: Prb-racing may not be used to cut through the grass after the bridge. If prb is still in effect, you can't release an MT offroad until prb has worn off.
SG: Prb-racing may only be used up to and including the clouds next to the first rainbow colored ramp jump. After jumping over the gap, you may not release an MT until prb has worn off.

I can't help it if people don't read things or ask questions if something is confusing.

I think it's easier to allow this than arbitrarily force people to slow down in order to lose prb before reaching the flowers.  This also stays in line with how other tracks are treated.

If it makes things clearer include the part about if prb is still in effect for those other tracks or ban it entirely like LC2?

I don't really see the problem, the same sort of rule is already applied in SG. I never really read the rules completely properly before, I never realised this sort of exception would technically be allowed by the definition.

I agree with that rule for PG

Since I can't watch David's vid(fuck you GEMA) I don't know, but I always lost prb by default and there was never that issue for me, but David's lines might differ from mine, so I wouldn't judge that. Either way I think it's good that it's gonna be cleared up.

I'm really surprised this hasn't come up some years ago, David's MTs are too fast

I agree with Michele. The updated rule is what everyone has always been doing on PG, people always jumped the gap so PRB was lost. While it is strange that it never came up, this is probably because doing what Ben did in his run would practically mean there is no difference between PRB and nonPRB runs... Consistency has to me maintained.

And the TOW (Track of the Week) goes to... Luigi's Mansion!

Maybe you could go tighter on the first tree part and also the very last corner of the track, especally for last lap, you could try the flap strat.
