Rules
Rules
1 Mandatory pre-event meeting at 0830 on Saturday for all team captains/team
Leaders, although all riders and crew are encouraged to attend. Teams must
designate a captain team leader (this will be understood to be No 1 on entry form) to
handle all official matters including pre event meeting, picking up registration packs,
making sure all teammates have correct numbers and have completed any paperwork
etc.
2 each team and solo rider will bear reasonability for their timing. In order for laps to
count riders must pass through the transition area and use the dibbers correctly every
time a lap is completed.
3 Please adhere to the NO RIDE RULES in transition areas. Riders should only use
solo riders area if they are in that class.
4 If a team member wishes to do two laps in a row it essential that they still dibb/cross
the mat when passing through transition.
5 each team member and solo rider must complete a minimum of one lap. Teams will be
penalised a lap for each lap not completed by each member except in the case of
injury which must be reported to race official who will make final decision.
6 If a team member cannot complete his or her lap, the team has the option of starting
the lap over with a new rider. They will however, lose the distance and time of the
uncompleted lap. The replacement rider must check in with timing official prior to
starting the lap.
7 For obvious safety reasons there is no reverse riding on the course.
8 Teammates may cannibalize each others bikes or swap if necessary. Riders may
accept mechanical support on the course by any other registered rider, transition and
camp areas is the only area where assistance from support crews is acceptable.
9 Riders may accept food and water from anyone on the course.
10 We strongly suggest that each team and solo rider have a support crew of at least 1
or 2 persons who are not taking part to assist with various jobs such as orginsing
transitions, cooking and assisting with mechanical problems.
11 Bike wash areas will be available at each event. Toilets will be available throughout
the weekend. Please use the toilets provided.
12 If you are planning camping please pay attention to the website, camping list open on
sale now, places will be limited and will cost £5 per night per head. Proof of booking
will be required. Caravans and camper will also be limited.
13 You will need all your own camping supplies. A variety of food (hot and cold meals,
soup and snacks) will be available for purchase at the transition area on Friday,Saturday
and Sunday. Check website for event specific updates.
14 riders may require lights, which must be at least 4 watts and be secured to bikes or
helmet. NO FUSS will have final say when lights should be used.
15 If lighting is required it will be against the rules for riders to ride with their lights out to
save batteries. Riders violating this rule will have their current lap nullified.
16 Only riders officially entered in the event or designated as “Official Course Marshals”
may ride the designated course.
17 Wearing a buckled helmet is mandatory anytime you are on your bike in the race area
(not just when it is your lap)
18 All team captains must attend pre race meeting at 0830 on the Saturday
19 Ignorance Of any rule will not be accepted as an excuse.
20 Foul riding will not be tolerated, unsportsmanlike behavior is totally un-acceptable this
includes the use of profane or abusive language, this rule is taken very seriously by
NO Fuss and anyone who violates this rule shall be disqualified from this and any
future NO Fuss events.
21 Shortcutting the course can be grounds for automatic disqualification of the solo rider
or the entire team. If a rider makes a mistake and they report to officials before it is
discovered, a time adjustment will be applied rather than a DQ.
22 Riders who are riding their bikes have the right of way over those who are pushing
their bikes. Where practicable riders pushing should stay on the least rideable portion
of the path when being passed. Riders are encouraged to call pleasantly “passing on
the right or left” as appropriate.
23 All protests must be made by a team captain to a NO Fuss Official ( Frazer, Spook or
Chloe) Protests can be made throughout the event and up to 15 mins after the final
results are posted. It would be appreciated if any protests could be made respectfully
to the officials. No Fuss officials say is final in all protests.
24 Safety on the course is our primary concern. If you come across an injured or a
potentially unsafe situation, you are encouraged to stop and assist. If you stop to give
assistance for a health and safety related reason, you should report your number to a
passing number who will turn it in to the transition official so that your teams next rider
may commence their lap. You must then complete your lap and report to the transition
official and report the nature of the assistance you provided and an approximate
duration of your stop. You will be assigned a lap time in accordance with your or your
teams average times which ever is the faster. NB Time adjustments are made by a
No Fuss official and are final. NOTE This rule applies to ONLY health and safety
concerns and not mechanical failure.
25 The NO FUSS OFFICIALS ( FRAZER, SPOOK and CHLOE) will be given the final
decision regarding any occurrence at the event including those not addressed in the
rules
