2010 FMSCI General Prescriptions for rallies (4W)
Appendix II – 6 : Standard FMSCI Time Cards
GENERAL
- A separate time card must be issued at least for each section of each Day.
- The target time for covering the distance between two consecutive time controls must
appear on the time card.
- Hours and minutes must always be shown as: 00.01 - 24.00, only the minutes which have
elapsed will be counted.
- Time cards should be issued and collected at the end of each section. Used time cards then
become available for the results teams to check. Ideally a separate new card should be
used for end of Day 45’ service (as in example for ‘Flexi-Service B’). This allows ‘dead time’
in the pre- service holding park for any technical checks.
- An organiser may propose to the FMSCI the use of an Electronic Time Card in place of a
written system. The use of such a system must be approved by the FMSCI before use.
DESIGN
- See following sample.
- Centre column is for completion by officials and right hand column for completion by
competitors.
- Previous car No is optional. It is used by several rallies for safety checking. If this box is
used it should be placed under the ‘provisional start time’ box.
- Size: 9.9 cm x 21 cm (to print 3 time cards from an A4 sheet) or 11 cm x 18.5 cm
- Boxes size: 1 cm
- The card should be at least 300gsm card or 270µm polyester paper (for poor weather
conditions). Note that polyester paper, although waterproof, cannot be easily folded. An
alternative is to produce a time card with cover – i.e. a card of 22 x 18.5 cm folded, that has
a cover to protect the written area.
- When many TC’s are involved, reverse side printing or use of a side by side (and folded
inwards) design may be used.
- The printing colour is free. For example, an organiser may use a sponsor colour, or a
different colour for each section or simply grey and black.
