Using On-Line Entries on this site

1. Check you have access to the following

• An Email address and a way of reading and sending email.
• The skills to Copy and Paste text.
• A means of payment.

2.Locate the correct page for the event on this site. Double check you have the right year.

3. Look for a link to the Supplementary Regulations. This is usually on the right-hand side.

4. Click on the Regs link and you should get a page showing the text. This is an Adobe Acrobat PDF document. This means it should be accessible from any type of computer and if you have a printer then you should be able to print it out so it looks exactly like it does on the screen. (Wait.. we don't mean do so now, In fact don't waste your time printing it at all as you will still be able to click on the link until the event is over. Unless you want a copy for your records.)

5. Read and understand the regs. The full details of the National sporting code identified in them can be read on the ACU's own website www.acu.org.uk even if you haven't joined yet. or go straight to the Full Handbook in PDF format (16MB)

ACU Website - www.acu.org.uk

Full ACU Handbook including National Sporting Code and each discipline's rules

6. Now locate the On-Line Entry Form which will be linked near the Regs. Note that the PDF Entry Form version is for riders entering by Post. On-Line entries just need text copied into an email. If you can't see the link then scroll down the page looking for the heading 'Enter On-line'.

7. Locate the email address you need to send it to on the event's web page, (Typically eventsec@wgdfmcc.org.uk), then either click on the link if your computer has an email program installed and set up, or, open your chosen email program and create a new email and enter the 'To' address and Subject.
NOTE: Image on the right has old text pasted into it. Now we only copy basic data.

8. Now Copy and Paste the text for the Entry Form into the email body.

10. Now Read the text and fill in where appropriate where marked '...?' paying particular attention to those marked with a star '*' as these are required information. If you don't fill them in correctly your entry may get returned to you. When you are sure it is completed then send.

Note: You will be asked to sign your agreement at signing on.

11. The Entry Sec will check your Entry Details and either send back for correction or issue a reference code which will be emailed back to you for you to complete the payment process. If you don't receive any response for a few days, remember that Entry sec is not a full time job and it will depend on when they can access their email. If your name is listed on the website but not confirmed then you are halfway there. Perhaps send a question if still nothing after a few days.

12. When you receive the Reference Code, something like 'FredBloggs Wyegate 00123456', then you can start the payment process. You will find the boxes to fill in on the event page.

13. Choose which Entry Option is required using the little arrow to the right of the box. then put the cursor in the Code box and type in the Ref Code supplied. Now you can press the 'Add to Cart' button. This will take you to our page on the Paypal site. Note: you may also pay for other riders (friends presumably!) entries by repeating this process, don't forget to change the entry option and the Ref Code before adding to your Cart. (You should be able to remove items from your Cart if you make a mistake.)

14. Now you can view Paypal's information about security and what it is you will be paying for and how much. You should double check the quantity before pressing 'Proceed to Checkout'. (We do not control how this page looks or have access to any of the information you type in here.)

15. You will be able to see the payment method options and information about them after you proceed. You do not need to have an account with Paypal as there is an option to make a one-off transaction as well as use an existing account.

16. Once you've paid, Paypal will confirm to you and to the Sec and the Entry List will be updated to show confirmed as soon as the Entry Sec gets the email and has time to update. All you need to do now is bring your ACU Licence and yourself (and Bike) to the event. Sign-on and that is it.
