TD Rule #8 FAQs
Rule 8 reads...
Relegation: Tour Divide reserves the right to relegate a rider from the TD General Classification (GC) for confirmed rules violations.
No rider will be notified of possible relegation mid-race. It is the sole responsibility of racers to know the rules, police themselves, and in cases of course deviation, recognize their error + correct it before proceeding on route. Ideally a rider who defaults on any of rules 2 through 5 will honorably scratch from the GC. As stated in rule 7, "TD is...a do-it-yourself challenge...racers alone must police themselves".
Note: If a racer voluntarily scratches from the GC mid-race, yet continues on to finish the GDMBR, their individual tracking page will remain online/updated for informational purposes, however, they will be removed from the group (GC) tracking map.

Re. What infractions?
Good question. For starters:
-Material course deviation - significant chunk of course missed or skipped. Racers must ride 99.9% of course. This leaves only a mile or so to screw up. Don't screw up if you can help it.
-Illegal support - pre-planning, private deliveries, illegal caching, private lodging, hitchhiking forward on route, allowing a friend to leap frog down route.
