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.
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:

*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.

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.
