RE: [RC] re: dual sanctioning discussion - StephTeeterWe had a 'crew area' on the Arabian Nights CEI*** ride - everybody was given an specific area for crewing. We were trying to simulate the championship level rides (PAC's WEC's) where each zone or country has a crewing area drawn by lottery. I didn't like it personally. I didn't hear any complaints from the riders (though sometimes ride managers have very selective hearing...) - but I don't think I'll do it again. I've been on the 'rider' side of the fence enough, that I'd rather let the riders have the option of going back to their trailers during holds. There's no specific FEI rule for crewing, segregation. But the rules do suggest that there shall be 'level playing fields' - i.e. try not to give anybody an particular advantage by being closer to the vet area, closer to the camping area, etc. Usually it's a matter of discussing things with the FEI guys - technical delegate, stewards, judges, and designing things so that they follow the rules as closely as possible, but don't make outrageous hardships on ride management and riders. A lot of the rules were borrowed from other FEI disciplines, and don't make as much sense in Endurance.

The only FEI thing for us was the P&R box, which I've grown rather to like. . Does seem as if 20 MT can do that, why not Ft. Howes? Excellent question, Dabney. It would have made a big difference to me, personally. Thanks for letting me know that not all dual sanctioned rides have that rule.
