Additionally there will be a sentence that reads “For all trials other than those for which
Championship Regulations apply the organiser may, with the agreement of the Permit Issuing
Authority, apply a time limit to each section. The time allowed must be the same for each and
every Section and the penalty for a rider not completing the Section within that time would be
failure. If a time limit is to be applied to the Sections then this must be clearly stated in the
Supplementary Regulations.
