The Route Cards will be available from around 22:00 on November 3, 2004. No password is required - just click on the highlighted link.
I would advise that you don't submit answers during the first two weeks of the competition. Experience shows that a few queries arise early on, whose answers on this Update page may modify your thinking about a correct solution.

• Why is the rally called Cloverleaf? In "Crow's" active days of road rallying (70's and 80's), he was Clerk of the Course of the West Essex Car Club's similarly named event. It was a good old Norfolk trash, run in January, 300 miles long and regularly attracted a full entry of 120 cars and 30 reserves. Those were the days! This TT is a tribute to its memory.
  
  
• For your downloadable convenience, various pages from the TT website will be made available in PDF format. This will include the Navigational Regulations and the Cloverleaf Route Cards. 
  
  
  
• Note that the definitive Route Cards are those viewed in a browser on the TT website. The downloadable Acrobat PDF version may be visually different due to the imprecise nature of the conversion (e.g. triangle symbols sometimes appear as round blobs) and pagination. For a local copy, it is better to "Save As ..." directly from your browser to a convenient place on your PC.
  Any updates as a result of PR (Pesky Routecard) problems will only be made to the Route Card web page i.e. the original PDF file will NOT be updated.
  
  
• Once the Route Cards have been published, feel free to pose questions about them to Help. However ... I will not reply to you personally; instead I will post the question and an official answer on this update page so that all competitors receive the benefit of the information.
  
  
• Submit your answers using the following forms: Masters Championship or Road Rally Championship
  
  
• Route Checks answers may be submitted at any time up to the closing date of December 1, 2004 (22:00). If you don't want to know your score, or other competitors to know your score, then submit your answers after November 23. (From then they won't be marked until the closing date anyway since the "Crow" will be acquiring a Mrs "Crow" on that date.) The small risk is that if you and several others are penalty free on the event, the person with the earliest Route Checks answers submitted will be the winner.
  Answers posted before November 23 will be marked and recorded on the Results Table.
  
  
• Plotting area. Only the south half of map 188 will be used. All roads leading to the edge of the map or north of Northing 45 are NTRs.
  
  
• The TT Navigational Championships are sponsored by The Basic Roamer Company. The winner of the Cloverleaf Rally, in addition to a trophy, will receive a Basic Roamer of their choice (if they haven't won one previously).
