Seven steps

From an organiser opening entries to results anyone can read.

Set up
Organiser
The organiser creates the event, its classes, fees and itinerary. They choose the documents entrants must supply and publish the supplementary regulations.
Open entries
Organiser, drivers
The organiser opens entries. Drivers enter, name their co-driver and pay. A full class has a waitlist.
Documentation
Organiser, drivers, co-drivers
Crews send their documents and sign declarations on their phones. The organiser works down the entry list and accepts entries.
Prepare
Organiser, officials, scrutineers
The organiser builds the officials roster, sends briefings and bulletins, and sets the start order. Everyone gets a print pack for the day.
Event day
Scrutineers, officials, drivers
Scrutineers check each car against its checklist and record any defects. Officials record times and penalties. Incidents and protests are logged.
Results
Organiser, stewards
Provisional results are published, then protests and decisions are dealt with. The organiser publishes the final results.
Championship
Series and sanctioning bodies
Points and standings update across the rounds of a series. Results appear on public pages that anyone can read.
