Dean is currently updating TRC's Coursemarker Gimmick Rallye Guide to include discussion of A-B rallyes, which are now more common. This is a page for suggestions of things to improve (add, remove, clarify, etc.).
Current Draft
The current draft is File:CMABGuide 3 2a 2012-06-20.pdf. You can print it as a brochure (13 duplex sheets) using Acrobat Reader's Print options.
Changes to Discuss or Consider
Changes Made in 3.2 Edition (from 3.1 Ed.)
Added sections on A-B rallyes, Forced Turns, Driving the Route (a small section about ignoring other rallyists), and a Rallye Checklist. I also made many additions to the glossary. And I edited various text for brefity or clarity.
Changes Made in 3.1 Edition (from Third Ed.)
TRC Club Info
The back page of the CM Guide has info on the club that is easily outdated:
- membership fees
- starting location
- start, class, and finish times
- business meeting day, time, and location
Dean is correcting most of this (and removing the rest). Readers should use the web page to get current information. Access to the World Wide Web is much more ubiquitous than it was 5 years or more ago, when the Guide was last updated.
Replaced "School Rallye"?
Dean replaced the "School Rallye" near the end of the Rallye Guide, primarily because the expert gimmick where you are ONTO but not physically on the road with that name is more difficult to grasp than it needs to be. The concept of an RI being completed twice -- once by execution and once by deletion -- is important, but need not be handcuffed to this odd ONTO form. Dean used TRC's current "School Rallye" instead. Darin made it easy, so I did this for February's rallye. Except I kept the old score sheet, because it was far easier.
I agree. IME, completing the RI a second time when CRI deletes it is already an advanced gimmick.
Further complicating this gimmick by putting them "onto" when they are not actually on the named road is an unnecessary complication in a normal rallye, and is really overkill in a school rallye.

Rallye Terms
Dean beefed up the Guide's definitions (at the back). It is now 2 pages. Differentiate "At," "After," "On," and "Onto" (was already there). Deleted "Giz" for "Gimmick." Added several terms that were defined earlier in the Guide, such as "Critique," and a few issues I couldn't find a better place to discuss (parentheses and quotation marks).
Things to Bring to Rallye
Dean did add to the back cover (under Usual Rallye Start) things to bring to a rallye. The back is a little cramped now.
