TSCEC - Introduction to Reference Articles

2007 Event Map	Texas State Championship Enduro Circuit
	Introduction to the Reference Articles

These reference pages are furnished by the Texas State Championship Enduro Circuit for the purpose of improving the quality of all of our events. If you are a “first time” event chairman, you are encouraged to read through these pages as they will answer a lot of questions you may have. Do not let the volume of information intimidate you. Instead, take things one step and one job at a time. These pages are catalogued separately so that you may download and print out any item that you want for distribution to your various club chairmen that may be responsible for specific jobs. You can also download them into your own word processor and modify or change to suit your own clubs particular situation. These are not meant to be the final word or the only way to promote a good event, but they are compiled from clubs and promoters that have had good success in putting on Enduros.

Even if you are a “seasoned veteran” at promoting events, you can still use this material to distribute to your various helpers to help them in their jobs. Many of your new club members do not know how to properly mark a trail or work a check point. Print out the appropriate section and distribute it to the proper people and you will be giving them 20 years of experience. It has been my experience that most people that help at our events want to do a good job, but many times they have not been properly trained to do the job assigned to them. Use these pages as educational material for those inexperienced helpers.

Divide the responsibility for the event into several co-chairmen to help take the load off the event chairman. These are big events. They need to be ran like a business for a day so you must delegate some authority to co-chairmen. Also, be sure and read the current TSCEC Rulebook. The rules and guidelines in that book were not written to make things difficult or harder. On the contrary, these rules were written by Texas riders and clubs to solve problems, promote safety, and insure equality at all events as much as possible. The rulebook, in itself, offers a lot of insight in how to properly promote and run an Enduro.
