Concept Document, details subject to change, more details coming soon. Rev A04 Introducing BMRx 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Basic concept: 72 hour competitive rally for the experienced long distance rider. Real-Time bonus submission via smartphone. 9 start and finish locations to choose from Mandatory bonuses at each corner of your triangle. Bonus Listing: o Mandatory bonuses locations (regional triangles) will be announced late February. o Optional bonuses ( many hundreds) will be provided one hour prior to start of the rally. 12 When: June 5,6,7 13 14 15 This event is by invitation; riders wishing to participate can submit an application (available Feb22). There will be a cap on number of participants; riders chosen will be notified by March 15th. 16 Cost: (Lower Pricing for BMR2015 finishers and IBR 2015 participants) 17 18 19 2015 $50.00 BMR 2015 Finishers : $25.00 IBR 2015 Participants: $49.00 20 21 22 What to expect: 23 24 Imagine 3 triangular shapes strategically placed across the USA. You can choose any single triangle, -and any corner of that triangle can be your start and finish location. 25 This effectively gives you 9 start/finish locations in the USA to choose from. 26 27 28 All corners of your triangle will be mandatory bonuses. Distance to complete a triangle will be in the neighborhood of 2,000 miles but will vary by triangle based on many factors. Significant efforts are being made to equalize the effort required to complete each triangle. 29 30 Additionally, there will be many hundreds of optional bonuses scattered across the USA to choose from. These bonuses will be in various “themes” with various point values. These Page 1 of 3 Concept Document, details subject to change, more details coming soon. Rev A04 31 32 optional bonuses will be released at the start of the rally via PDF bonus listing and digital files consistent in format/file type that the IBR uses. 33 34 35 Earning all mandatory bonuses (completing your triangle) will give you enough points to be a “Finisher”. All earned bonus points from both mandatory and optional bonuses will be accrued to your score in near-real time. 36 37 38 39 You will primarily be competing against the other riders of your triangle and secondarily competing against riders in all three triangles. Think of this as three rallies within a rally and you are competing head-to head against riders in your triangle, and secondarily against all riders in all triangles. 40 41 42 43 44 Additionally, each triangle’s cumulative score from all of its riders will be scored against the other triangles. In other words, your primary competitors are the riders who are riding your triangle. These same riders are also your teammates in the triangle vs. triangle competition. This triangle vs. triangle competition is for camaraderie, fun and showing the world what region has the best riders. 45 Consistent with traditional BMR events, real-time scoring will show all above scoring models. 46 Is this rally for me? 47 This rally is purposely designed for three groups of riders: 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 1. BMR riders who want to experience a shorter rally with elements consistent with traditional rallies including: a. Routing on the clock b. Rally-provided data files of bonus locations c. Rest bonuses 2. IBR 2015 participants who want to experience a sharp 72 hour rally which will provide: a. Time/distance calculations galore in a competitive event. b. Opportunity to test and fine-tune equipment and methodologies c. Smart phone bonus submission in real-time 3. Experienced LD Riders looking for a rally experience a. Routing/riding to all mandatory bonuses (complete your triangle) will give finisher status. b. Add more miles and more points by choosing optional bonuses and adding them to your route. This is the basic concept of all competitive rallies. 64 65 Expectations: (If you’re not 110% on board with the following expectations, don’t waste your time or ours) Page 2 of 3 Concept Document, details subject to change, more details coming soon. Rev A04 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 1. Safety and knowing your limits is paramount. Ride smart and within your skillset. If you don’t know your limits or skillset, this event is not for you. 2. Your conduct will be superlative at all times. In BMR events you are at the scoring table 24/7, any conduct not seen as positive and constructive to moto-bike fun in general and this event specifically: Will result in an immediate exit from this event. 3. BMR bonus picture requirements are tough, much tougher than most other events. Be prepared to partner with the scoring team by breaking-your-ass on every bonus submission to secure solid pictures which meet scoring team criteria. If you’re of the mindset that riding to the bonus is good enough and should count, this event is not for you. In BMR events, riding to the bonus gives you the opportunity to earn points *IF* you *also* meet the other criteria while you’re there. 78 Timeline 79 02/22/2015 – 03/07/2015 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 Information on the locations, size, shape of each triangle will be available Application window open.
