Repairs taking longer than this will be awarded 12 penalty points for each section not attempted in time. Entrants must return to the designated running order as soon as the organisers can accommodate them.

12. If a competitor is stopped on a section by an official for safety reasons, they will be given the opportunity to attempt the section again. This may only take place at the discretion of the Clerk of Course. If they opt to attempt the section again the score on this attempt shall be the one counted for the results irrespective of where the competitor is stopped.
