⊗2X7-2C6.You are the Chief Referee of a 70 mile point to point race.
After examining the traffic and road situation, you call a rider meeting
and announce that the promoter has arranged for two following vehicles
to support the field, that individual follow cars will not be allowed,
and that riders are subject to disqualification if identifiably related
vehicles follow the race.
During the race you follow the field and observe that several vehicles are
following the race.
You stop the vehicles and advise the drivers of the rules, but three
vehicles, all carrying wheels, continue to follow the race to the end,
giving no actual support to any riders.
At the end of the race, three riders go to the respective vehicles to change
clothes and pack their bicycles for transport.
On confronting the drivers and riders, their position is that they have
a legal right to drive on those roads; they just happened to take
the same route as the race and you have no legal jurisdiction over them.
What do you do?
@nothing.  @relegate the three riders.  @warn the three riders and tell
their friends not to follow in the future.  +disqualify the three riders.
@ask the District Representative to tell the drivers not to follow the
races.∞

⊗3X10-3B1.You are the Chief Referee at a track meet.
Eight women start a 10 lap mass start race.

⊗3X11-3F8.You are the Chief Referee at a track meet.
In a sprint race, the two riders exit the final turn with A in the sprinters
lane and B passing on the outside about two meters up the track.
In the enthusiasm of the sprint, A drifts up the track about one meter.
B reacts by moving up the track slightly, apparently without reducing
speed, and A wins by a wheel.
What do you do?
+nothing.
@disqualify A.
@warn A to stay in the sprinters lane.
@warn B to leave more room.
@disqualify B.∞

⊗2X12-2B1.During a road race on a four lane road, one rider suddenly
emerges from the middle of the 20 rider field, charges to the far left of
the road and attacks, with 10 km. to go.
The field responds and seven riders move to the far left to follow the attacker.
The resulting confusion leaves the balance of the field fragmented and
attempting to pursue on the right side of the road.
The group of eight leaders eventually moves back to the right and finishes
in a group well ahead of the remaining riders, who finish one or two at a
time.
What do you as Chief Referee do?
@relegate the 8 riders to no higher than 13th place.
+disqualify the 8 riders and recommend suspension.
@disqualify the attacker and relegate the other 7 to no higher than 13th place.

⊗1X13-1L6.Two riders on the last lap of a criterium enter the final turn,
which is a 90 degree right turn about 100 meters from the finish line.
They enter the turn side-by-side.  Rider A, who started on the inside,
swings wide coming out of the turn, going to the left curb and leaving no
room for rider B, who must slow down to avoid contact with rider A or the
curb or both.
Rider B attempts to pass on the right but finishes second by a wheel.
What should you as Chief Referee do?
@warn A to leave room next time.
+relegate A to second place.
@disqualify A.
@warn B not to pass in corners.
@nothing.∞

⊗2X14-2B1.A group of 10 riders approach the finish line of a road race on a
two lane road with a painted centerline.
About 50 meters from the finish, one rider in the middle of the field

⊗2X17-2B1.You are Chief Referee at a criterium.
The course uses streets of which only one lane is available for the racers.
The lanes are marked with rubber traffic cones.
At the start, you warn the riders to stay inside the boundaries and that
riders who stray outside the traffic cones will be relegated one place
each time they do so.
At the end of the race, the referees report that three riders went outside
the boundaries.
The riders contend that they could not stay inside the boundaries because of
their speed in the turns and had gone outside the traffic cones on exiting
the turns to avoid falling.
What do you do?
@let the results stand.
+relegate the riders one place.
@disqualify the three riders.
@relegate one to set an example.
@let the other riders vote to decide what should be done to the three riders.∞

following the field.
One of the riders is a nationally ranked rider that has been paid travel
money by the promoter to come and lend prestige to the race.
During the race, this rider suddenly jumps to the left and attacks down the
far left side of the road.
Using the follow car PA system, you tell him to move back to the right.
He looks back momentarily but continues his attack.
You call to him again and he continues his attack for another 100 meters,
then sits up, looks back, makes a rude social gesture in your direction,
and moves back to the right in front of the field.
What do do you?
@nothing.
@warn him after the race to show more respect for the officials.
@relegate him.
@b and c.

⊗3X20-3B2.You are the Chief Referee at a track meet.
Ten riders start a four lap mass start race and rider A leads most of the first
three laps.
On the backstretch of the final lap, the field begins to pass rider A and
string out heading into the final turn.
Rider B, who has been boxed in the back of the field most of the way, passes
rider A on the inside and suddenly moves up the track to pass other riders
ahead and, in so doing, crosses rider A's front wheel causing A to crash.
Rider B passes most of the riders to finish second.
What do you do?
@Nothing.  +Disqualify rider B.  @Disqualify rider A.  @Warn rider A to be more
careful.  @Warn rider B to be more careful.∞

⊗2X24-2B1.You are a following referee in a road race.
The course is mostly on good country roads with a well marked centerline,
but a short stretch (10 km.) is on a very narrow and poor quality road that is
hilly and winding.
On entering this stretch, the riders totally ignore the centerline rule

@disqualify one or two riders to set an example.
@disqualify the entire field.
@disqualify the worst offenders after the race.

for the race.
What do you do?
@cancel the race and go home.

⊗2X30-2E5.You are Chief Referee at a time trial that is the second stage of
a stage race.
The rider who is scheduled first away arrives at the area at about his
scheduled start time and has to dress and prepare his bike, getting away
about five minutes late.
He submits a protest that he should be given his time based on his actual
starting time.
His story is that he was searching for the starting area about 20 minutes
before his start time and couldn't find it.
He stopped a policeman to ask where it was and the policeman told the rider
that he was assigned to work the race, was headed to the race site, and the
rider should follow.
Both got lost and the rider was late to the start.
Later, you take the map that was provided to each rider, follow it, and
it leads you to the starting area.
How do you rule on the protest?
+deny it completely.
@allow it completely.
@allow it but penalize the rider one minute.
@allow it but relegate the rider one place.
@disqualify the rider.∞

⊗1X31-1G4a.You are the Chief Referee at a time trial, at which separate
prizes are offered in the senior-35, senior-45, and senior-55 classes.
The riders are all started and you instruct the last rider to inform the turn
marshal that he is the last rider.
while you are busy with other matters, a senior-55 rider shows up late,
registers, and is started by the Starter.
The turn marshal leaves his post and the rider can't find the turn.
He has been on the course before and knows about where the turn is, and claims
to have turned at about the right place; his time seem reasonable based on
past performances.
He is the only senior-55 registered.
What do you do?

depending on your observations of the results.
+Immediately signal a false start with a double whistle.

You observe that rider A's rim has virtually no glue.
What do you do?

to the district representative for possible suspension.
@Relegate A to third.
@Relegate A to the back of the field.∞
