Question and Answer advice and clarification on TTR rules.
|
Q Can someone run
more than once for the same team?
A No - because
there is a risk of an unfair advantage
Q Can someone run
more than once for another team?
A Yes - because
there is not any significant risk of an unfair
advantage. TTR 'Entries' must
be notified of any consequential change of team
categories.
Q Can incomplete
teams run?
A Yes -
but they must start with stage 1 and then run
consecutive stages. Incomplete teams
will still be
ranked in the finish order after the last complete team,
and will receive their stage
times, and
be entitled to collect
six TTR mementos (from the Finish area).
Q Why can a 15
year old run stage 3 but runners have to be 16/17 or over
for all the other stages?
A Stage 3
qualifies as a road surface but the others do not.
See appropriate ARC Rules.
