Sign Outs

When a competitor finishes in a half stage, he/she earns the right to start in the next half stage. (Obviously, for the first stage all competitors have the right to start.)

However, a competitor does not necessarily use this right. Sign outs are the competitors that didn't start for the stage, although they could, having the right to do so.

Before you enter the ranking for a stage, and preferably also before the actual finish takes place, you should enter the sign outs. Entering sign outs is done through the Sign outs dialog.

After a competitor is entered, this competitor will not be available anymore to use in a arrival.

Riders who drop out during the race should not be introduced as signed out, but will automatically be printed as dropped out on bottom of the classification.

Sign outs are usually listed on stage classifications; this depending on publication settings.
