Checkpoint Tracker’s ranking system depends on the accuracy of underlying data about Racers, Teams and Events. For this reason only Teams that have been setup in advance of an Event, added that Event to their Team Schedule, and had their Registration Status marked “Confirmed” by the Event Promoter can be granted points or be ranked.

While each is simple, there are several steps required to get your Team ready to race and be ranked in 2010:

1. Sign Up
2. Complete your Racer Profile
3. Create a Team
4. Get team-mates to Sign Up and complete their Racer profiles
5. Add team-mates to your Team
6. Add Events to your Team Schedule
7. Add Racers from your Team Roster to each Squad for each Event

Whether you ultimately register (and pay) for an Event through Checkpoint Tracker (this feature will launch next week) or off-site, we will track the Registration Status of each Squad your Team is sending to each Event as a way of confirming, via both parties (the Team and the Promoter), that your Team is in fact competing at a given Event.

By default, when you add an Event to your Team Schedule the Registration Status of the Squad that is created is set to “Pending”. The Event Promoter can edit this value and change it to “Confirmed” when they’ve received payment for your entry.

We’ll be continuing to provide detailed information about new features and requirements as they’re finalized, implemented and rolled out.

In the meantime the important thing for you to be focusing on is getting your Team set up and getting your Team Schedule dialed in.
