It is up to you to make sure that you ask for your licence to be indorced and check at the end of the meeting to make sure it is done, or so i beleave.
That said, I beleave that it should be automatic endorcement for P plate drivers.
i went and seen the clerk of course and chief steward after every race and they still didnt do it so annoyed :Z

When you pay your nomination at the meetings you should be asking for an indorsment and they enter it in the computer and then a print out is given to 1 official and they keep an eye on all the people that have requested the indorsment, If you dont do this then it is tuff luck
I believe the card system shows that you are a p plater when you enter a meeting so why should you have to ask for endorsments it should be automatic unless steward writes an infringment. This MillionDollar wissbang card is supposed to make life easier 4 the karter and officials alike.Rodney Hayes said:

Fact is....majority of requested endorsements are not logged into the system.... If you have the meetings done, your licence should be upgraded... I guess you are not from Qld.....cause I haven't seen the request.
Mate, been there done that. Turned up to a meet in Ballarat, 450+km's away (country series) to find out that "you're still on P plates". Um, no, I've been off P's for a while now.......... Dunno what stunts they pulled but I was off P2 in the first heat ie. NOT REAR OF GRID. Prior to that, went to Adelaide for COA titles to be told that I wasn't a member of a club.........
Who knows how the system works. I never requested an endorsement (didn't know about the system) but the CMS can show that you've competed. They'd log your driver errors in no time, no errors = all good I guess.
Good luck.
I never understood the whole endorsement thing. I recently upgraded to a B grade lisence but was waiting on endorsements from newcastle, BUT, my AKA log in showed i had done all the nessesary meets. So if i've done 9 meets (inc 3 p's) and want an upgrade, why would endorsement matter?
Endorsements are very important.
You might enter a meeting, then write the kart off in the first practice session.

Totally agree with this!

just make it automatic complete 50% of the event with no write ups and you get endorsed
take a bit of work load off the team running it

The whole system of endorsments needs to be reviewed as it is not working.The operators at club level are not trained enough to input or change information as required . As the A K A requires endorsments for licence upgrades the importance of a workable system is most important.This does not only apply to P platers. At club level the easy answer is cant be done.
Too bad wasted race meetings no endorsments costs money to the karter no avenue for the karter to check that an endorsment happens until you check C M S system 1 or 2 days later what can be done then.
