What are Scout Points?

The goal of being a scout is to have a valuable impact on VELO cycling community. As an active scout you get points by taking specific actions like reporting stage, reporting partner, reporting POI and so on. When your report is approved by the VELO administrator, you will be rewarded with the appropriate amount of points. The best of VELO scouts are displayed in the table below, and once a year the winner will get a special gift from VELO Team after the scout program is launched.

Getting points for a reported issue, POI, new stage, or stage correction:
When we get your report ( see the previous point) about for example new POI, one of our administrators needs to check it, and if everything is fine, it will be added to our system. Once it's done you will be rewarded with the appropriate amount of points.
Regardless of whether a report was rejected or approved you will ALWAYS get an email with information about the status.

Getting points for a Partner:
When you report POI that belongs to one of the following categories:
Entertainment & Other, Food & Beverage, Accommodation, Velo Transport, Velo Service,
it is categorized as a potential partner of VELO. As a next step, one of our sales managers contact such a potential partner and presents our offer. If a potential partner decides to join our VELO partnership program, you will get additional points for reporting a partner.
