The issue came up in another thread.
It is hard to arrange a rally, without some well trained marshalls.

Compared to racing, where most handle a flag or a fire extinguisher.

In a rally you need people trained in timing, in some local rallies they also need to calculate ss times, before reporting them to Hq.
Some need to be trained in mobile radioes, put up base stations, making a functioning network. planning where to block traffic, have people standing along many places along a Stage, making sure cars do not get into the competition road.
Often people that have said yes to one task, are being "promoted" into a job they now little about, since some people did not show up.

Very little official training could be available via the NSA, so it is a bit improvise, adapt and overcome.

And what do they get in return for a long day in the forrest? Very little in many cases, maybe some coffe and food if lucky.

What do you do to attract them, train them and keep them for the next event?
  • Are there training courses for different categories, with an exam to prove their knowledge?
  • Is there a ladder, ending up as top dog?
  • Are marshalls payed, given food and drink, gift cards or in any other way appreciated?
  • Does your country have a pool of marshalls online, where rally organisers can pick, and check availability?
  • The UK have a system

Some places rallies have to cancel due to lack of trained marshalls!
How can we raise the status of marshalls, so they want to come back next year, so you can get a team from year to year?
