3) Skipping or “missing” a WPM usually results in a time penalty of:
*
5 points
A) 10 minutes
B) 20 minutes
C) 30 minutes
D) There is no penalty for skipping a WPM
4) If you realize you have “missed” a WPM in the middle of a stage:
*
5 points
A) Keep riding the course, navigating to the next notation or the next WPM. RALLY COMP will automatically skip the missed WPM for you and assess the penalty.
B) Stop. Go backward on the course until you find and clear the missed WPM
C) Stop. Reconcile the missed WPM in your road book and manually “skip” it by using the #2 button on the RALLY COMP device
D) Stop, Manually “open” the missed WPM by using the #2 button on RALLY COMP device and follow the arrow backward on the course until you find and clear the missed WPM
5) Opening a WPM usually results in a time penalty of:
*
5 points
A) 10 minutes
B) 20 minutes
C) 30 minutes
D) There is no penalty for opening a WPM
6) If you are on notation #17 in the road book and the RALLY COMP device is showing WPM015 on the screen:
*
5 points
A) You have missed WPM015 and should keep navigating down the course
B) Sometimes the road book has errors and there may be glitch in the RALLY COMP. Just keep navigating down course and the timing & scoring officials will sort it out at the bivouac.
C) You have missed WPM015. Unless you “open” or “skip” WPM015 using the #2 button on RALLY COMP, you will miss every successive WPM on that stage and incur a penalty for each one.
