-===== Bypassing a Checkpoint =====
-{{ :user_guides:comp_checklist_bypass.png?250|}}
-Bypassing a checkpoint may be required when taking part in a race. Event Marshal allows for competitors to bypass a marshal if required.

Dependent upon the organisers discretion bypassing a checkpoint may result in a competitor being disqualified.
-{{ :user_guides:comp_bypass_confimation.png?250 |}}
-Once a request to bypass the checkpoint is confirmed, a reason for bypassing must be given. The most common reasons are a miss-placed checkpoint GPS location that is not safe to reach for an automatic checkpoint,  or, for a manual checkpoint, no marshal available. Thee options are given as quick selection boxes. If there is another reason to bypass the checkpoint this can be entered by selecting the '**other**' check box.
-{{ :user_guides:comp_bypass_request.png?250 |}}
