Baton Relays

Baton passes will take place in a defined zone on a carpeted straightaway section in front of the team boxes. The carpeted relay zone is restricted to competitors wearing their helmets and skates. Coaches and other support staff must remain behind the barriers or risk losing their passes and having their teams penalized 30 minutes. Relays will be done using batons like those in track events.

 

 

Refreshment station

The official on-course refreshment and sponge-off station will be set up 1.2 km before the finish line. Racers cannot be provided with other refreshments while they are on the course. Each participant may race, however, carrying a belt bottle and his or her own refreshments.

Timing

Each team/Duo has two electronic chips, one on the person skating and another on the person who will take over. Once the relay has been done, the skater who just finished gives his/her chip to the next skater. The chip must be placed on the ankle or the skate in order to function.
In case of loss of a chip or damaged chip, the timing team will provide you a new chip as soon as possible. (Warning: in this case, the chip deposit = 100€ is lost). Each « individual » will have only one chip.

Race judges

The official jury is composed of a head judge whose decisions cannot be appealed. He is assisted by race judges named by the racing comitee of the French Federation of Roller Sport.
Only the college of commissioners can issue opinions covering race disagreements concerning the rules and regulations.
