This donation will be paid to the Rockleigh CFS on behalf of the landowners.

IOF IDs for elites

You can find your IOF ID by logging in and checking My Pages on the IOF Eventor website. You also need to include it in your Eventor Australia profile under Competitor details.

SportIdent

If you change your Sportident stick after entering for the Carnival but before entries close, you will need to update the number in Eventor in your profile, and change it yourself in each entry made. If you change it after entries have closed, you must notify the Entry Manager. It is your responsibility to complete your course with the correct Sportident stick. If your stick number does not match the number in the Event database when you download, you may be disqualified.

If you do not own an SI Stick, SI8 sticks are available for hire at $10 for the carnival. No SIAC Cards are available for hire. A fee of $50 will apply to any SI sticks that are lost. Make a selection under Services if you wish to hire an SI stick

Changes

You can change your entry (change class or update Sportident number) in Eventor yourself, any time up until the entry closing date. There is no fee for changing classes. Class changes after entry closure will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances, subject to map availability.

Split starts

If you are sharing childminding, you may request split start times at events where this is feasible. Your request will be actioned for every event that you’ve entered, where the start draw is long enough to accommodate split starts. The procedure for requesting split starts is to be confirmed after entries have opened.
