Team Recorders
Each club is responsible for supplying enough recorders for the number of teams that they have submitted. If your club has a large number of teams, we recommend that you organise one person to manage 2-3 teams as a maximum, as managing numerous teams can be difficult.
Please ensure that your recorders arrive in sufficient time to complete the scorecard before the beginning of the races.
