This Proposal is RECOMMENDED by the Combined Driving Committee.

This proposal only changes the wording to replace Intermediate-II. The option to also remove the option of a two-section marathon is RC# 17-041

Please note correction to new (red) text.  Apologies for the late change. (5Aug2016)

RC#: 17-040
Rule/Article: 960.2.9
Proponent: Combined Driving Committee
Date: posted 7June2016, revised 27July2016, corrected 5Aug2016

Current Wording: (in italics, second sentence) At ADS-recognized events with Section A, VSE entries in Training and Preliminary Divisions may compete on a shortened course. VSE entries in Intermediate and Intermediate-II Divisions will use the full course. When Section A is 1 kilometer or less, it may be driven on the track of the Walk Section and the Walk Section be omitted entirely.

New Wording: At ADS-recognized events with Section A, VSE entries in Training and Preliminary Divisions may compete on a shortened course. VSE entries in Intermediate [delete and Intermediate-II; insert  and Advanced Hybrid Divisions and CAC classes must] use the full course. [see also 17-041 When Section A is 1 kilometer or less, it may be driven on the track of the Walk Section and the Walk Section be omitted entirely.]

Reason for Change: Remove reference to Intermediate-II and remove the option of a two-section VSE Marathon Course. The incidence of a two section Marathon at a CDE is almost non-existent. This option is currently requiring a lot of data space on the Omnibus Entry Form for no real reason.
