3. Starting line, I think, having also considered false start and start-stop, but staggered start could also work... smile

(four guesses for the price of one grin)

A few more thoughts: shaky beginning, slight start, stuttering/hesitant/jerky start, slow start, five point start/handicap, extended opening, long introduction, unimpressive start, ...in the beginning (long ago, and probably in a galaxy far, far away...) crazy

(This is the moment when Cheryl comes in with the right answer and makes it seem obvious!)

Lex, you left out jump start, but I'm counting on Cheryl too.
She lives in Minnesota, so, you know, Super Bowl.

Go Eagles!!! rah

I did consider jump start but could not see it as fitting the image, and if this is a US sporting term, I may as well give up! wink

or "starting line" (where race starts)

If "start" represents a sign: sign on the dotted line

Where are you Cheryl?!
