Rider Responsibilities

1. The rider must mount the transponder correctly - do not place any metal near the transponder. It will not work on your handlebars. Cloth or tape (non metal) will not affect the transponder.

2. The rider MUST wait until the light is green in the tent. If the light does not turn green then the rider should yell "NO LIGHT" to the scoring crew. The rider MUST wait until the scoring crew gives him the "GO" before leaving. The crew will always shout the rider number for the backup book which is not an indication the computer read the transponder correctly.

Post race;
If a rider has an issue (knows his transponder did not read, etc.) then have him see the scoring crew at the scoring tent after the race.

Club Responsibilities

1. A minimum of two (2) people are required in the scoring tent to write down the backup. If they help set up the tent the crew can get instructions.
2. The sign people need to make absolutely, positively certain that two riders do not have the same number. There are two good ways. One - keep a log book at sign up that is divided up by class. Write down the number of each rider as they sign up. Make sure the number has not been issued when signing up the remaining riders in the class. The book only has to have numbers. The remaining information is entered into the computer.
The second way is to make a list of numbers that are highlighted when the rider signs up. Like the voter sign off at the polls.

3. Please keep the Transponder money separate from other funds. This is the only method to keep track of the funds used for transponders.

Tent worker instructions:
Write down the number of every rider that goes through the tent (in order). If the light does not turn green for the rider then use a highlighter in the backup book to indicate the number was missed by the system. If the workers have time then the number may be manually entered into the computer (the computer screen has a place for this).

Rider's Meeting;
Please note that every rider is responsible to wait for the green light. If the light does not turn green then the rider must yell to the scoring crew that the light did not turn green. The rider may only leave when the crew tells him to "GO".
