+        <p>Adding a contact phone number and email is not mandatory, but we
+          strongly recommend it.</p>
+        <p>If your event has a registration closure deadline, participants
+          have to enter (and can withdraw) before the registration closure time.</p>
+        <p>Participants can submit results until the evaluation closure time.</p>
+        <p>Until one hour after evaluation closure time, the challenge organizer
+          can review and reject submitted results ("disqualification"). If
+          you as the challenge organizer intend to use this functionality, it
+          is strongly recommended that you fill out a contact email or phone
+          number.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          The participants can row this challenge on any course, and their fastest time
+          over the challenge distance (respectively the largest distance achieved over the
+          challenge duration) is automatically extracted from the workout. No
+          need to program a set piece. 
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          Standard Times are a way to compare results in a race category with
+          a course record or golden standard for that event. A point score is calculated
+          which compares the participant's result with the standard. This offers an
+          engaging way to compete on points across different categories, boat types, and skill
+          levels.
+          If you select a Standard Times set from the drop-down list, race categories will
+          be limited to those in the selected set of Standard Times.
