Forms and Templates:

The documents, while tailored to your race, only address the core requirements.
Additional information should be added where necessary.
In particular, the lists on the Marshal and Competitor Instructions forms should be checked and amended as required.
It is intended that this is done by hand, in order that the race specific changes are highlighted on the forms, and thus more likely to be noted by the recipient.
Where appropriate the number of starters must be written on each document and excess numbers obliterated, before recording starts.
Note that not all documents are generated, depending on the options chosen:
- Competitor Instructions only if category AM, AL, BL, or specifically selected.
- Central Race No Log only if more than one check point is input.
  If there is no more than one check point, the finish line and single CP race number grids are sufficient to account for competitors.
- Select pages range in your printer options if you wish to omit some documents.
