Marshals
It is important that you turn up on your specified night. NO MARSHALS = NO RACE! IF YOU FAIL TO MARSHAL YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM YOUR NEXT RIDE! YOU HAVE TO MARSHAL INSTEAD.
All marshals MUST sign on by 7pm latest.
Marshals must now take the 'Cycle Race In Progress' signs and fix in position before the race and return them to the HQ after the race. Riders who have not marshalled before please ask the Chief Marshal for instructions.
MARSHALLING RULES
1) Marshalling is COMPULSORY. A rider must turn up to marshal on their designated night(s). All marshals have to sign on. A substitute is allowed if a rider can't make it or is on holiday but should notify myself or the nominated organiser in advance.
2) If a rider misses their marshalling duty they have the chance to marshal the following week or at the next race they turn up to ride in that series.
It is also possible for them to marshal instead of their night off but ONLY on that date in the same series.
If the night missed is the last race of a series then this will be carried over to the first race of the next series.
3) If a rider still does not marshal, the rider will be disqualified from the rest of the 2010 NMRRL and their entry into subsequent series returned and their place in the field offered to another rider.
If the night missed is the last race of a series and the rider still does not turn up to marshal at the first race of the new series, then the rider is disqualified from that series and all subsequent series.
4) If riders are on holiday they should make me aware of the dates so another marshalling date can be arranged beforehand.
In all cases riders who miss their marshalling duty will be given a warning immediately after the race they missed.
