This event is using Category Enforcement. For more information on Category Enforcement, head here.

Here are some quick details about what you can expect for the event:

All Hardware Required events will also have Category Enforcement enabled.

You must remain paired to the hardware you joined the event with. If, during the event you attempt to swap to different hardware than what you joined the event with, you will be prohibited from leaving the pairing screen until the original hardware you joined with is paired again.

If you lose connection to your hardware during the event, you can only exit the pairing screen by pairing the exact same hardware you joined with.

We ask that you give us feedback after your events both via this form and by commenting on this post.

Thanks for your participation. Enjoy your race!
