SCORING RULES
Scoring an Enduro is very simple if you just understand the basic rules:
A rider loses 1 point for each minute he is late to a check. A rider loses 2
points for the first minute and 5points
for each additional minute he is early to a check.
Example 1:
Rider #21D arrives at Check #1
21 marked on card - 0 points lost
22 marked on card - 1 point lost
20 marked on card - 2 points lost
19 marked on card - 7 (2 + 5) points lost
Example 2:
Rider #1D arrives at Check #1
0 marked on card - 2 points lost (1 minute early)
-1 marked on card - 7 (2 + 5)points lost (two minutes early)
The Finish (last check) is almost always a Known Control. A rider may
arrive up to 15 minutes early at a Known Control and still be scored a
0 or lose no points. If he is over 15 minutes early, he is
disqualified.
Tiebreakers are a little more complicated but still simple if you convert seconds to
points. A rider should arrive exactly in the middle of his minute; that is,
exactly 30 seconds late.
Example:
Rider #21D arrives at Check #2
21:30 marked on card - Perfect 0
21:01 marked on card - 29 points lost
21:40 marked on card -10 points lost
24:26 marked on card = 176 points lost (see calculation below)

Rules on how Tie-Breakers are combined vary from year to year but the basic system of
points lost remains the same.
