Adding events to the Comp Calendar, A tutorial...Please Read!

[giventofly]

Hey guys, welcome to the new competition forum. Please Take a minute to learn how to post events so that everyone can find them quickly and easily.

First of all, All new posts to the calendar will require approval before they appear. For now, I think we can use this forum for both Comps and large planned group rides. We'll see how it goes.

Second, lets keep this particular corner of the forum clean. No flame wars, etc. Save the debates for the general forum. Let's keep this a place people can come to discuss comps and group rides, both past and present.

Finally, in the interest of making the calendar as effective as possible, please use the following format when submitting events:

maybe have a place for the results of the comps too in the calendar?

[giventofly]

I would prefer to keep the calendar about upcoming events only. Results should be placed in a thread....not on the actual calendar.

so... I want to put in the OTN dayz colorado event into the calendar, but I dont have all the pertinent info yet... just the dates. Can I throw the barebones one on and then edit the rest in later as I figure it all out?... or will it be an instant permaban? I will be dealing with prizes and stuff down the road.

Better to start with the basic info, go ahead and submit what you know.

Info like where to fly into, and a general map of the area would be nice.
