Electronic Bonus Claiming, EBC, is now the mechanism used in all UK and Benelux rallies. Five years on from its first introduction the systems, methods and procedures have all been refined to produce a simple, smooth and reliable way of scoring rallies.
This year facilities will be provided before each rally for a short practice period when entrants can submit bonus claims and receive an automated response detailing the correctness or otherwise of each claim. This is intended to allow entrants to hone their skills and build confidence in the systems and processes. As before, no responses will be sent to live bonus claims submitted during the rallies, responses will only be sent during the practice sessions.
A practice session will be operating for the rest of February and everyone, whether or not you intend to enter any rallies, is invited to submit bonus claims by email to [email protected]. Each correct claim will have a Subject: line containing Rider Bonus Odo Time and a single photo (any photo, we're not going to judge it) attached. The four fields of the Subject: must be separated by one or more spaces, no commas or other punctuation. Rider is a number in the range 1-16; Bonus is one of 01-90, 23B, BA, BAC, BB; Odo readings are integers and time is 24 hour hhmm. Examples of correct Subject: lines :-
1 02 30031 1234
15 BB 2010 2222
16 bac 55999 1512
Obviously it would be beneficial if you were to submit incorrect claims as well as correct ones so that you gain a better understanding of any pitfalls.
The recommended method of submitting claims on a smartphone is:- take a photo, view the photo, click the share icon
choose your email app, enter the address '[email protected]', type the four fields into the Subject: line then click [Send]
Feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome and there are no stupid questions. If you don't understand something, ask either below or by email to [email protected].
