Once the water is dropped the waiter/waitress can run as fast as possible in a straight line back to the start line whereas the next waiter can start as soon as the finishing line has been passed by his/her team member. Time keeping - The time starts when the first team member has started and will be stopped with the fourth team member crossing the finishing line. The liquid fact - Each waiter can maximum pour 4 tumblers @ .33 liter = 1.3 liter into the glass cylinder. The total potential with 4 waiters/waitresses is 4 x 1.3 liter = 5.2 liter Zero point is set at 4 liters of liquid equals to no time added or deducted; each .200 below the 4 liters will result in a 5 second penalty to be added to the final time stopped. Each 0.200 above the 4 liters mark will result in a 5 second bonus deduction from the final time stopped. The winner will be the fastest racing team – minus or plus the bonuses or penalties.
