Just for clarification.....there are no "extra points" or anything else
awarded to a NATRC competitor or volunteer for assisting others in their
set-up. It is just something that many of us "do". Points are "taken
away" from the moment you check in with the Judges, not before, and none are
ever "given back".
decided after that ride that she'd stick with NATRC, because endurance
riders were rude and stand-offish...when asked what she meant, she told my
friend that whenever she'd arrive at a NATRC ride, other riders would
immediately drop everything and come over and help her set up her camp,
horse pen, etc....and endurance riders didn't do that. (!!!!)
Turns out that, at least at the NATRC rides she attends, people get extra
points or something like that for going out of their way to help other
people.
