-  * Passage: Passage control.

-  * Monte Carlo Departure: when the competitor arrives, he waits for the next minute and leaves. The programme calculates the penalties for that minute.

+  * Flying Start: the participant must pass through the start point without stopping. The system records the exact time of passage and CP times are recalculated based on the start time. The CPs must be Monte Carlo CPs.
-  * Stop start
+  * Stopped Start: the participant must stop exactly at the start point (km 0) before the final start. The accuracy of this start is not very good and may vary by 1 or 2 seconds; therefore, it is not recommended if you can start at the exact zero-second mark or at 30 seconds. The CPs must be Monte Carlo CPs.

+==== ==== CP Validation
+To check that the CPs are correct and there are no errors, the system uses the DIST tool. \\
+This tool compares the distance between the event’s control points with the distance shown on Google Maps. \\
+To generate this DIST file, open the ‘More’ drop-down menu and click on ‘Download DIST’. An Excel file will then be downloaded, containing the following:
+\\
+{{es:mirally:images:dist.png?800|}}
+\\
+<WRAP box noteblue>
+  * “From Ref”: Start control point.
+  * “To Ref”: Finish control point.
+  * “Partial”: indicates the split time measured by the organiser between those points.
+  * “Line”: distance between the points in a straight line.
+  * “gDriving”: driving distance according to Google Maps.
+  * “gWalking”: walking distance according to Google Maps.
+  * “From / To”: the coordinates from point A to point B.
+</WRAP>
+To interpret this file, you need to go through it line by line. Look at the values in the different columns and check, in the brackets, the difference between that value and the value measured by the organiser. \\
+Small differences may be due to the route and the organiser’s measurement may be correct, but if the difference is considerably high over short distances, we must pay attention as there may be an error. \\
+In such situations, use our Web Roadbook tool, which can be accessed via the following link: https://rabbitrally.com/webroadbook  \\
+Here, you should paste the “From / To” details to view the route on Google.

+We can also check the PC on the map in the ‘Latest Positions’ screen. \\
