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:
