2:00 Minas Riders results evaluation

Read the Minas Riders Time Trial Qualifications-TTQ - regulations , Grande Finale - regulations and these Event regulations

The Offroad Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 rules and regulations
- The organisers publish the “maximum riding time limit” for the next Offroad day, it includes a mandatory stopping time that will be announced. It may be the standard 20 minutes or can be more at the Service point (SP) and can also include transit time(s) if there is a Liaison(s) after the service point.
Note: Competitors / service suppliers supporters and event participants with an event badge will be informed the afternoon before About the race track by email and the latest and final information is provided each evening in the Minas Riders - Event briefings.

The total time of a competitor is calculated by adding the sum of :-
- Time trial Qualification-TTQ riding time.
- Riding time 'between race checkpoints' (From the Offroad start to the Offroad finish)
- Grand Final qualification times plus Added time
- and any DNS or DNF or event time penalties that are applied.

The winner is the competitor who achieves the lowest totaled riding time.

Off road days

- Competitors MUST present their motorcycle and dis-mount and hand-in their GPS at the GPS flag at the ''Offroad finish checkpoint" OR if they have left the racetrack at the ''Competitor paddock checkpoint".

- If a Competitors riding time means they will not reach a Check point, they are now status timebarred, they will be asked to leave the race track and follow the abandon track(AB) on their GPS and any provided 'timebarred' signs to the Offroad finish or Competitor Paddock. The Competitor now has status=AB - ABandoned.
NOTE:- If there are 'special event circumstances', competitors can be requested to follow 'special instructions' given by staff officials at the checkpoint.

- If the Clerk of course decides that a section of the course has become impassable due to weather conditions, queuing or other factors outside his control, or if the estimated "maximum days riding time" is no longer achievable, then the Clerk of the course has the right to remove time taken between checkpoints or finish the race earlier and adjust the results accordingly as needed.

- Our guarantee is that at least 40% of competitors on each Offroad day will be finishers in the results.

- The Clerk of Course has the right to disqualify competitors(DSQ) in case of unfair behavior, un sporting behavior or in the case of course fouls.

All competitors who leave the course (have abandoned today's race) MUST go to either the 'Offroad finish checkpoint' OR the 'Competitors Paddock checkpoint', dismount and hand-in their GPS and get their transponder scanned.
We then know these ''Abandoned Competitors(AB)'' are off the mountains, are safe and we do not need to search for them.
Note: Competitors MUST carry with them tools needed to dismount their own GPS.

In the case of abandoning the racetrack at a Checkpoint OR between checkpoints or anywhere on the track ! It is important that a Competitor phones Medical Rescue 1 +5531972055057 or Medical Rescue 2 +5531997150602 to let them know they are safe and well and have left the racetrack.

- A competitors' failure to respect the obligation to inform the organisers in the case of retiring from the race, where search operations need to be carried out, will result in the competitor being liable for the financial costs of essential search operations.
- A competitors' failure to hand in their GPS at the Offroad Finish or competitor Paddock Finish will result in a first time warning plus penalty points added which will be displayed in the results, if it happens again then they will become disqualified(DSQ) from competing.
- Disqualified or abandoned competitors are only allowed to continue on the racetrack with the express permission of the Clerk of Course.

2.04 Liaison

Plenty of riding time is provided to allow competitors to travel from the LPin to the LPout. Some ''Waiting time'' at the LPout is always included. It is the competitors' responsibility to present themselves to the Liaison Point(LPout) at their given starting time.
- During a Liaison competitors are NOT racing, so there is no need to speed and there are no benefits for doing so.
- Speeding competitors may be stopped - financially fined by police, given a driving licence suspension and be event time penalised for speeding.
- The GPS recorded track of the competitor will be taken into consideration in the resolution of a protest or for judging cases of penalty or disqualification. (Read Section 3.11 Speeding over limit - time penalties)

4.02 Recording
4.03 Which Garmin GPS device?
4.04 Navigation

4.00 GPS
- Competitors hand-in their GPS(s) at the event Inscription at the race hotel

Each Offroad day the GPS is handed-out in the morning and then handed-in at the afternoon Offroad finish
OR if a competitor has abandoned the race track and is not passing the Offroad Finish, then competitors MUST Hand-in the GPS at the 'Competitor paddock Check Point'

- If a competitors GPS has a built-in battery they need to also hand-in the charger suitable for 220V with Plug.
- The GPS team will install NEW batteries daily for competitors with GPS using AA or AAA disposable batteries.
- The GPS must be able to connect via a USB port to a computer and have the folder 'GARMIN' and support installation of MAPS.
- Competitors will receive their GPS loaded with the Racetrack map and abandon track. (GPS time is set to Brasilia Time BRT)

Advisory notice :- The GPS team delete ALL data from competitors handed-in GPS (including old GPS recordings and maps) therefore competitors be sure to make a backup before you hand-in your GPS at inscription and remove any installed SD cards and AA or AAA rechargeable batteries.
- A good GPS mounting is essential - be sure to buy one in advance as you cannot easily find one before the event. Take care in mounting the GPS, reducing vibration or GPS device movement during racing can prevent the GPS getting damaged and suffering from poor or irregular recordings which attract time penalties.

4.01 GPS racetracks – How are they named?
Race classes:
Gold, Silver, Bronze, Iron

GPS devices have the racetrack uploaded as a custom map - this hides all other maps on the device and can not be deactivated easily by mistake. Just turn on the GPS and go to the map screen. The racetrack looks like a road.
Example: map name = 26day3B This is event year '26', Offroad 'day 3', 'B'ronze Class,
Year, day1, G, S, B, I
Year, day2, G, S, B, I
Year, day3, G, S, B, I
Year, day4, G, S, B, I

4.02 Recording
Why does GPS need to be set to record?
- Competitors will get large time penalties for not having a recording.
- Learn how to activate the "Track recording/Track log/TrackBack" in the GPS before arriving. It is the competitor's responsibility to make sure that their GPS records during the race. Check the manual of the GPS to understand this setting.

IMPORTANT: In order to be sure that you have the right racetrack, check when you pick up your GPS in the morning that you have the right 'custom map name'.

Competitors MUST carry tools needed to mount or dismount their GPS
After competitors dismount their GPS and hand it/them in at the GPS flag at the 'Offroad finish'.
Our GPS team download the recorded track.
OR
If competitors due to mechanical, injuries or any other reason abandon the race day they must hand-in their GPS at either the "GPS flag" at the Offroad finish if passing it, or at the ''Competitor paddock checkpoint''.
All GPS tracks are downloaded and checked.

Recovery can be performed with the ''organising assistance'' of our rescue team. This is to ensure 'recovery vehicles' or 'assisting helpers' are not travelling on or against the racetrack.
Note: If a competitor leaves the racetrack for ANY reason they MUST and as soon as possible contact the race HQ using the medical rescue phone numbers . When returning homewards competitors, MUST stop and present themselves either at the 'Offroad finish checkpoint' OR go directly to the 'Competitor paddock checkpoint' and hand-in their GPS.

It is IMPORTANT that we know where competitors are, then sweepers teams, track staff, medical teams, do not waste time and energy searching.

Naming conventions
CP - checkpoint
SP - Service Point
SPin - arrival time at the Service Point in
SPout - Service Point out departure time

LP - Liaison Point (between checkpoints)
LPin - arrival time at the Liaison Point in
LPout - Liaison Point out departure time

Dayrace progress
Start -The Offroad start time. This is the ''given time'' to Competitors, it is their responsibility to present themselves at the starting line.
CP - displays Competitor arrival time at each CheckPoint.
Timebar time - Competitors much reach each checkpoint before the displayed time. If the timebar time is in RED example ~~12:05:58~~ then the Competitor has arrived too late, they are now status AB = Abandoned and must leave the racetrack and follow the 'GPS Abandon track' and timebarred signs and go directly to the Offroad finish or Competitor paddock.
Ride time - Competitors track riding time between checkpoints.
Difference - The difference in ride time between Competitors. +0s (= zero seconds) is the fastest Competitor between checkpoints. Example = If the time shown against another Competitor is +2m30s this means that Competitor was +2 minutes 30 seconds slower than the fastest Competitor.
Rank - the fastest Competitor BETWEEN checkpoints.
If checkpoint(s) are missing = that race class does not enter that checkpoint (Example=CP4)

CP SPin - arrival time at the CheckPoint Service Point in
SPout - departure time from the Service Point out - Competitors cannot leave the Service Point out BEFORE their given time.
The CP SPin time is taken, then their SPout (departure time) is written on a sticker and applied to their motorcycle helmet.
Competitors can stay longer if they wish to rest or repair motorcycles, but this time is adding to their overall race time.

IF there is a ''between checkpoints'' Liaison
CP LPin - arrival time at the CheckPoint Liaison Point in
LP out - departure time at the Liaison Point out- Competitors are NOT allowed to leave the Liaison Point out BEFORE their given time.
The CP LPin time is taken, then the LP out (departure time) is written on a sticker and applied to their motorcycle helmet.
Warning: When driving in a Liaison Competitors are NOT racing, so there is no need to speed and NO benefits for doing so. It is the Competitors responsibility to drive with due care and attention, all traffic laws apply and road legal conditions apply whether Competitors are on a road, forest road or any track used by other members of the public.
Speeding Competitors may be stopped -financially fined by police and be ‘event time penalised’ for speeding.

Overall results
Offroad Total time - time taken each OFFROAD day is displayed = (TTQ+D1+D2+D3+D4)
OVERALL EVENT RESULTS : On Day 4 the competitors Grande finale results are added. (TTQ+D1+D2+D3+D4+Grande Finale)
Difference +0s (zero seconds) is the fastest Competitor. Example= on day +2m43s this means the Differential time is +2 minutes 43 seconds slower than the fastest Competitor.

Start / CP
Start / CP is used ONLY when a race class does not start the RACE at the normal 'offroad start' location, first there is a "Transit track" to ride.
The race class departs the normal 'offroad start'' location at a given 'Transit track' start time. The Competitors are provided with the GPS track and are given a relaxed 'riding time' to arrive early at the location where their race start is.
An example
An IRON class Competitor is provided with a 26 minute 'transit track'' to get to their RACING start at CP3
Transit start at: 08:10 (starting from the normal offroad start). A 26 minutes transit riding time has been provided, the Competitor follows the transit track on their GPS to the IRON class 'race start location' at CheckPoint 3.
Start / CP3 : 08:36 The IRON Competitor departs at 08:36. The RACING has begun.
