2 - Footing twice
3 - Footing more than twice
5 - Failure
5 - When requested by a rider rather than attempt the section
5 - Entering a section before being called upon to do so by an official
10 - Not attempting a section when called upon to do so by an official
10 - For missing a section or failing to have punch card marked

Definitions
Clean:
A rider traversing a Section as defined above without penalty as described under Footing or Failure shall be unpenalised and given a Clean.

Footing:
Footing will be considered to have occurred if any part of the rider’s body or any part of the machine, (with the exception of the tyres or the sump shield) touches the ground or the rider benefit from any part of their body, or any part of the machine, (with the exception of the tyres or the sump shield) leaning on an obstacle (tree, wall etc.), Footing outside the lateral limits of a Section does not constitute a failure but should simply be classed as footing.

Failure:
A failure is considered to have occurred if:
• The machine ceases to move in a forward direction.
• The rider dismounts from the machine. Dismount will be deemed to have occurred when both of the rider’s feet are on the ground at the same side of or behind the machine.
• A machine does not stay within the intended limits of the section as defined by the Observer.
• If any wheel of the machine crosses any boundary tape or goes over or the wrong side of a marker, whether the wheel be on the ground or airborne, before the front wheel spindle passes the “Section ends” sign.
• The rider or passenger is held responsible for displacing any marker or support in an observed section whereby the observer considers it necessary to reinstate the flag/marker prior to the passage of the next rider. The displacement of any marking not relating to the competitor’s route will also be considered to warrant a failure.
• The machine or rider travels in a forward direction against the direction of the Section.
• The motorcycle crosses its own track with either wheel.
• The machine, or rider or passenger receives outside assistance.
• A rider or person having an interest in a rider’s performance, in any way alters the severity of a section without the authority of an official.

For Sidecar events only
A failure is considered to have occurred if:
The passenger foots i.e. if any part of the passenger’s body touches the ground, or benefit is gained from any part of his body leaning on an obstacle (tree, wall etc.)
