The gentleman is aware of the sullying influence on sport of COMMERCIAL SPONSORSHIP. While EMPIRE exists, the spirit of amateurism: of course, in its non-pejorative meaning: shall rebuff this invidious perversion. The gentleman shall afford the noble sport of POINT-TO-POINT RALLYING the proper dignity by ignoring the temptation of LUCRATIVE CONTRACTS. The Checkpoint flag, that which is marked "S", shall be the FINAL collected in a Stage. |
The gentleman shall further champion the spirit of sportsmanship by emphasising SKILL over mere FORTUNE. He shall collect the Lucky flag, that which is marked "L", as his FIRST action of a Stage. The gentleman shall present the finalé as documentary evidence. He may submit his score directly, but shall first cheer those who pass him with a rousing HURRAH. |
