Re: [RC] 'Grand Prix' style finish is not endurance - John Teeter
I think the cut-off time at scottsdale was the time imposed by AERC (max of 12hr for 50 miles/6hr for 25 miles). It's basically the same thing - imposing an artificial time limit on the competition. It's just that the one imposed by AERC (and normally FEI) is not related to the finish time of the first across the line in that particular ride.

I am a newbie to endurance...my first attempt was at Scottsdale this year...and they had a cut off time too. I was very disappointed because I thought the motto was "to finish is to win"...but that was not the case in Scottsdale. I was disappointed. I like the idea of training slowly to build up to speed.

So are you saying that at most rides, there is no time requirement, and it really is "to finish is to win"?
