Front-run to drain your own timer.
Drain your timer completely to win!
Drain your timer completely to win!
More complex rule description
Stay in first place to drain your own timer. If you can drain your own timer down to 0, you win! Being not in first while below 10 seconds refills your timer slowly.
Falling off (or dying) will add 5 more seconds on to your timer, up to a maximum of 60 seconds. Falling (or dying) while below 10 seconds will refill your timer to 10 seconds PLUS add 5 more seconds for falling off, resulting in 15 seconds!
If the round timer runs out, the game will enter OVERTIME. During overtime, the timer will drain at an accelerated rate. For every minute during overtime, the drain rate will accelerate again.
All of the variables start with outrun. The original name for this gamemode was outrun but another addon already has that name, so I have changed it to Frontrun.

v4 - Ang did a bunch of stuff to help balance speed boost. The boost from being behind can now be stacked with other boosts.
v3 - Removed penalty system, replaced with a comeback system: The further behind the leader in terms of timer remaining, the faster you go!
Changed the perfect system to require a more perfect game to be played.
Hopefully fixed desyncs.
v2 - Added a penalty to slow down first place if they front-run too much (This was to address people breaking away too much at the start and not having any competition)
Added post-round screen
Fixed bugs
v1.2 - Added a reasonable cap to CVars
Stopped overtime sound from playing every tic if outrun_suddendeathseconds was set to 0
Stopped gamemode from running in singleplayer/freeplay
v1.1 - Made map count reset to lap default if gamemode was disabled
v1 - Initial release
