Q: Can we purchase individual race numbers?

A: We realise over time that the occasionally numbers will get mislaid and if you would like to purchase some replacements, rather than a whole new set, please contact the National Secretary (Competition and Development) (stewart.smith@cyclingtimetrials.org.uk)

Q: Where can we purchase some road signs or rider numbers from?

A: Please contact Stewart Smith (stewart.smith@cyclingtimetrials.org.uk) he will be able advise on what CTT can supply and the prices for each item. 

Q: I’ve received a postal entry form what should I do?

A: Postal entries must be added to the event by going to Step 3 Entries and clicking on the green button Manually Add Entry. There you will need to add the rider’s ID number in the box beside Populate User and then click the button and it will automatically fill in the rider’s details. Tick the box to accept terms and conditions and press proceed. If the rider hasn’t given an ID number, click on the button Search User CTT ID By Name and, if they don’t have a profile, you can set one up for them by clicking on Add New User to Database.

Q: Can late entries be accepted?

A: Entries can be accepted (at the organisers discretionn) up until the start sheet goes live, and then no further changes can be made. For any late entries a postal entry form must be provided before the rider starts the event. If they don’t and there was an incident, it could cause a lot of problems for everyone and affect the insurance.

Q: What is the process for uploading start sheets?

A: Once the closing date has passed organisers can accept (or reject) the riders. Once that is done the Build Start Sheet buttons will become active and you can move on to Step 4 Start Sheet and download the template. Please don’t delete or move any of the columns A-K as they are essential for the website to work. Can the full start sheet (cover sheet) please be uploaded to the CTT website before the rider list, otherwise that will not be processed until the start sheet is in place. This is so the riders, officials, etc can get all the necessary information at once, rather than having to keep checking for it. 

Q: The start sheet is on the website who informs the riders?

A: Once the cover sheet and rider list are both online go to Step 4: start sheet and use the Email Entrants button to inform the riders the details are online. There is a blind copy (bcc) function so organisers can also send the details to the timekeepers, district officials and anyone else who is needing the information. If you need to know who in your district should receive a copy, please contact your district secretary.

Q: When will we receive the entry fees?

A: Online entry fees, minus the levy, are transferred once the rider list is uploaded. CTT will also take the levy for any postal entries. To ensure the fees can be sent over can you please check the appropriate bank details are showing, to do this go to your Dashboard and then in the black panel on the left (below the events) you will see My Details, click on that and there you can check your details and add bank account numbers.

Q: Where are the emergency contact details?

A: Go to Step 4 Start Sheet and click on the green Download button. Select Emergency Contact details and this will download a pdf with all the riders’ details. 

Q: Is there a completed signing-on sheet?

A: Yes, again go to Step 4 Start Sheet and click on the Download button, this time select Sign On Sheet and it will download a pdf with the names already inserted.

Q: What is the process for uploading the results?

A: The results cover sheet needs to be uploaded in a similar manner to the start sheet. If a rider is a DNS/DNS(A) or DNF please just put a 1 in the appropriate box. We appreciate that riders are keen to see their times, but if the cover sheet could please be uploaded as soon as possible it would be appreciated. Once the results are online please contact the riders to inform them the results are there by going to Step 5 Results and using the Email Riders button. Again, there is a bcc function there so you can also contact district officials, etc.

Q: What is the difference between DNS and DNS(A)?

A: DNS(A) should be used when a rider has contacted the organiser to say they won’t be able to ride. As they have been polite in doing so, this courtesy should be acknowledged and will hopefully encourage more to do the same.

Q: I need to contact the riders to inform them of the prizes, how can I do this?

A: Once the results are online the event will move into Archived Events on your dashboard, and from there it will work as it did before. To contact the riders, go to Step 3 Entries and click on the button Contact Entrants (top right). There you will find a list of all the entrants with a tick box beside their name, click the tick box beside the riders you are wanting to contact and then the message box on the left of the screen will become active. This facility can be used at any stage of organising.

Q: My event has to be cancelled, what should I do?

A: As we all know, unfortunately, events do occasionally have to be cancelled on the day due to the weather or roadworks, etc, if this happens please contact your district secretary and inform them and then email Support (support@cyclingtimetrials.org.uk) who will be able to help with cancelling the event and refunding the riders. If the event has to be shortened for any reason, please inform support@cyclingtimetrials.org.uk before the results are uploaded, the event details can then be amended before the results are published.
