The usual 4 Championship rounds, each with 8 route cards (the best 7 to count) and 24 days to solve and plot.
Predominantly plotting, the navigation will be varied and based upon usual techniques, though a couple will be more complex in terms of solution or plotting. Hints will be available in some cases, albeit with a time penalty.
There might be a driving test and a couple of real-time legs, just to mix things up a bit.
The Best 3 scores over the 4 rounds will be used for Championship positions.

There will be 4 classes: Masters, Experts, Novices and Beginners.
I've analysed all registrants' performances since 2012 to evenly spread them into three equal groups: Masters, Experts and Novices. This will be the class that will be initially assigned to entrants in the 2025 Championship. It will be updated to include only those that are on the final entry list.
Anyone who registered for any event, but then didn't compete; those that haven't competed since 2012; and new registrants will be classified as a Beginner.
The organisers will reclassify a competitor if they think it would provide fairer competition. Competitors may request to move up a class (but not down) if they think it would be appropriate.

There is two-part "Entry Fee". The funds in the ITTR non-profits bank account to cover the map routing and hosting fees will need to be topped up on this event, so there will be a nominal (part 1) admin charge of £5.
The HRCR have generously sponsored the awards for the event so there will be prizes for the best 10% of competitors.

Part 2 requires entrants to self-certify a payment of £20 or more (money or goods for re-sale) to a charity of their choice. (The individual amount donated will not be public.) This will add to the ~£40,000 that ITTR has raised in total for charities. If you want to put in a dummy entry, simply as a means of charitable giving, please do so.

The events will run as follows:
July 1, 2025 - July 24, 2025 - The Nearest FarAway Place Rally
August 1, 2025 - August 24, 2025 - Panglossian Rally
September 1, 2025 - September 24, 2025 - Schoolfrenz Rally
October 1, 2025 - October 24, 2025 - Thalamorph Rally

Although the Championship starts in the summer months, the generous 24 days to complete 8 route cards should mean you can work around any holiday dates.

May the Plot be with you.
