This table summarizes the types of events that may appear on the
RUSA calendar.
The type Code is used in various tables
found on this site. It indicates the format and rules governing how an
event is run.
For example, an event of 360 km might be any of four different types:
a ACP-sanctioned flèche (ACPF), a RUSA-sanctioned brevet (RUSAB),
a RUSA-sanctioned arrow (RUSAF), or a RUSA-sanctioned
permanent (RUSAT).
