Please note that if there are a high number of entries in Event A it might be necessary to have a later starting time for

Shield for one year. In the event of a tie, the club with the largest number of successful finishers in Event B and C
will be declared the winner. The Rally Shield will be presented to the winning club at the ESCA prize presentation
