Skip a waypoint

Updated
Waypoints should be validated sequentially, but it's possible to skip or miss them. The system automatically assigns penalties for missed waypoints according to event rules.

Waypoints RBR app:
Riders are responsible for managing waypoint statuses in the app. They decide which waypoints to collect and/or/if skip. If the rider validates a waypoint, the app automatically marks it as validated and sets the next waypoint as the target. If the rider misses a waypoint, it is their responsibility to tell the RBR app to target the next waypoint! Penalties are only applied for waypoints that are physically missed.

Skipping Waypoints:
To skip a waypoint, riders must manually advance the RBR Roadbook Reader app to the next waypoint by tapping the top-left corner and marking any waypoint as validated from the waypoint list. If not skipped manually, the app will continue targeting the missed waypoint.

*Yellow waypoint number in waypoints list: The app highlights the "open" waypoint number in yellow if the waypoint is open or if you are within the WP open radius.

Penalty Calculation:
Penalties are based on the waypoints actually missed on the route, regardless of whether they were marked as skipped/validated in the app. The system calculates missed waypoints based on the actual path taken. Typically, a 15-minute penalty is applied for each missed or skipped waypoint.

Summary:
Manually skipping a waypoint in the app only affects the app's guidance, not the penalty system. Penalties are determined by the actual route, not the app's settings.


P.S.
If you miss a waypoint and reach the next one, the RBR app will ask if you'd like to skip the previous waypoint by marking it as validated, like this: RBR Roadbook Reader misss waypoint dialog
