OK, Saturday we went and did another Rallye. Different from the previous one, but still enjoyable. We didn't prepare as much as last time and I think made some assumptions that cost us. So here are the mistakes we made:

1: I saw the 36 Cadenza, but thought it would come into effect when we saw a 36 CM, even though I read that Cadenzas come into effect when received. So we missed 10 points here.

2: I forgot that unless explicitly stated, RIs don't come into effect automatically. So we followed RI1 when we shouldn't have. Missed 30 points from 2 CMs.

3: We didn't read the instructions carefully enough where it said that you are not allowed to do 2 RIs at the same intersection. So even though we mistakenly did RI1 at Main and Reed, we should have not done RI5 at Main and Reed. So missed a partial 10 points here. (The correct route is to not see this CM).

4: Again, we did RI6 at Main and Fremont but didn't realize we couldn't do RI5 again at the same intersection later on. Missed 20 points.

5: We got confused. Coming back towards the checkpoint, we encountered Fremont and Madison. Then we got distracted by the fact that we couldn't turn right at Madison, and totally forgot about following the third part of the Cadenza. Missed 10 points.

6: The instructions said that when you find a CM, you should delete all uncompleted SUPPs. Well, we didn't delete the uncompleted SUPP, so it was still there for later. So we missed 30 points here.

7: Again, we did RI11 at Lafayette and Benton, but shouldn't have done RI5 at the same intersection. Missed 10 points.

8: Even after callying the RallyeMaster, and having her tell us that coming up the T at Lexington and Main was a forced turn, we forgot that after making a U, coming up the T of Main and Lexington was also a forced turn. Grrr.. Missed 10 points.

9: The GIs said that SUPPs have numbered parts. But SUPP 16 only had one part, so it's not a valid SUPP. Missed 10 points.

Our final score was 860, worse than we did last time, but still good for 1st place in the Beginner division. Hopefully we won't make so many oversights next time around. Fun!
