FAQ

A competitor can access (open) the track only if their status is "accepted".

There exists "Standing", "Rolling start" and "Rolling Start with Time Window" section start types.

Section start type: Standing

• Start at the DSS (start selective section) at your designated start time.
• Sometimes roadbooks start with a liaison. Arrive at the DSS before your actual start time and plan accordingly.
• The Timing Official (start referee) a the DSS will allow you onto the track at your start minute.
• Track pre-start unlock time: The track opens in the RBR app 20 minutes (or as set by the organizer) before your start time.
• Timing begins at the time set by the start referee (GPS position at the DSS is ignored for standing starts).

Section start type: Rolling Start with Time Window

• Competitors have a rolling start window of 60 minutes, allowing them to cross the DSS (start waypoint) within that time frame.
• No Timing Officials (start referees) are present at the start of the roadbook or the DSS.
• Cross the DSS by riding through it within your designated start time window. Missing your window incurs a 60-minute penalty.
• Track pre-start unlock time: The track opens in the RBR app 20 minutes (or as set by the organizer) before your start time window.
• The actual start time at the DSS (start waypoint) will be identified automatically by the competitor's GPS. Timing starts at the DSS validation circle entry point.
• Learn more about the rolling start.

Section start type: Open Rolling Start

• No Timing Officials (start referee) are present at the start of the roadbook or the DSS.
• Start riding at any time.
• Track pre-start unlock time: The track unlocks in the RBR app after the "First competitor starts at DSS" time and can't unlock earlier.
• The actual start time at the DSS (start waypoint) will be identified automatically by the competitor's GPS. Timing starts at the DSS validation circle entry point.
• Learn more about the rolling start.

Section Finish: in all cases timing ends at the ASS (finish waypoint) validation circle entry point and is identified automatically by the competitor's GPS (rolling finish).

P.S. Event replays for sections with a "rolling start" are available only after the end of the event (to be fairer for everyone). Replays for sections with a "standing" start are available instantly, but with a 10-minute delay. Event organizers can access replays anytime. Competitors can access their own replays instantly.

While it is technically and physically possible to ride the same section multiple times (e.g., a training/demo section of the event), only the first ride will be counted towards the results and made available for replay.
