Many separate processing steps take place between the time that you submit results and the time the brevet homologation sheets and certificates appear in your mailbox. RUSA provides a tool for monitoring the processing status. You may use it to confirm that RUSA received your results, to estimate when results will appear on the web site, or when you can expect certificates will arrive.

During the peak of the brevet season, ACP-sanctioned brevet results that are submitted are batched up over a two-week period before being processed and sent off to ACP. At other times of year, results might be batched over even longer periods. So too, the ACP official who prepares the homologation (summary sheet) and the brevet stickers may also batch incoming results from various countries and process them as a group. Packages of stickers and medals may experience varying delays in international mail. Finally, the Brevet Coordinator may not be able to immediately distribute the contents of the package to RBAs. The brevet processing system is entirely based on volunteer labor. There is only one individual at ACP who performs brevet processing for the entire world outside France.

The ACP requires that all of our Flèche results go to them in one batch. This means that none of the American Flèche results will be processed until all of the events are completed and their results submitted to RUSA. In summary, delays in processing are inevitable and it can be weeks to several months between the time your brevet results are submitted and the stickers and medals arrive at your door.

Results for 1200km+ events may be processed by Randonneurs Mondiaux at one time at end of season, or at times throughout the year.  So you may not see your stickers and certification numbers until the end of the year.
