Confused about Road Rally Scoring?

The countdown to the Lost in Lunenburg (LiL) Rally on October 17th is officially on!

The 2026 event will feature a closed-checkpoint format, timed down to the second using the Richta app and Evansville-style scoring. To help teams prepare and get some practice in, we are launching a new blog series over the next few weeks detailing the scoring mechanics used in Atlantic Canadian road rallies.

Here is a sneak peek of what we will cover:

• Open vs. Closed Checkpoints: The difference between highly visible, physical stops and hidden, electronic GPS triggers.
• Evansville vs. Madison Style: How different closed-checkpoint formats handle penalties (and how they affect your recovery strategy).
• Pro Tactics: Practical team behaviors and timing tips to help you transition from a first-time participant to a winning team.

Grab your teammate, start practicing, and watch this space for our first deep dive!
