This will be our fourth race, with more than 400 STEEM given away in prizes so far.
From 7th of December, I'm holding a 24 hour race; and I'll be awarding 20 STEEM to the highest ranked character in each class.
Templar
Marauder
Shadow
Scion
Ranger
Duelist
Witch
There'll be an additional 20 STEEM awarded to the highest level character overall.
If two or more players have evenly leveled characters, the prize will be split evenly.
Previous races have been 3 day events, but I'm trialing something different and scaling it right down to 24 hectic hours. There are only 50 hours or so before we kick off, so schedule some sleep in the meantime.
If a character has died, the level they achieved is irrelevant.
The higher you go, the more you have to lose.
If you're way out in front it may even be worth resting them and starting a backup character.

We need to track your progress publicly. See my account/characters here.
You'll want to create a new character.
Make sure you choose the red, "Hardcore" banner or your char will be softcore; which isn't suitable for grown ups and wins nothing.
Their name should start with "SHR_"
Characters must also be Solo Self Found.
It's a tick-box in the character selection area.
It prevents a character from interacting with the marketplace, so no buying and selling with other players.
If your character dies, that's obviously a setback, but you can start again with somebody new.
It may seem that others have an unassailable lead, but they can die too.
It's quite possible that a mad dash for the finish line may be the undoing of one or many of your competitors.
If you're equipped to record and/or stream, please do so.
Use the tag #poecomp when posting. (Assuming you have time to post)
Glorious deaths are bittersweet and better shared.
To enter;
Post your intention to compete, using #poecomp as the first tag. This must be done more than an hour before the league starts or you won't be included.
Tell us about yourself. Are you a grizzled veteran, or an eager newcomer?
Will you be dealing physical damage up close and personal, or raising an army of the dead to fight on your behalf?
Will you lay traps, mines and totems to outwit the enemy, or stick 'em with poisoned arrows from a distance?
Are you going to charge headlong into each level, or take it slow and stay alive?
Will you check the other accounts, and choose an under-represented character, or forge on with your favourite?
I'm very much interested to see how far we can get in the 24 hours; particularly with the size and scope of the changes.
@enjar has gone into some further detail on Betrayal in his post here; which I highly recommend.
See you on the field, gentlemen.
