Having finished reading the details of the first part of the competition and preparing himself mentally for it, Avery brought up a private site only meant for use by the competitors and certain officials.
Before it was announced to the public, the order in which the nine competitors would go was to be decided.
Seeing as how the obstacle race was going to be a timed trial and not a head-to-head contest, it was necessary to determine when each of the pilots would go.
Naturally it would be forbidden for any of those participating to view the race of anyone going before them to avoid an unfair advantage. They would all be going in blind.
"Looks like they've finally started the randomization."
Avery watched as the tokens representing each company began rapidly spinning around.
It was a superfluous part of the program since it merely could have picked the order and displayed it instantaneously, but people often enjoyed things like this. It helped to build a sense of anticipation.
