Rallymaster
In Anglo-American rallying, the person who designs and lays out the rally – route, average-speed changes (CAST), pauses and controls. Roughly the equivalent of the rally direction.
The rallymaster is, in Anglo-American rallying, the person who conceives and works out a rally in detail: they set the route and break it down into CAST instructions, pauses, transits and all control locations. On trap or course rallies they also design the 'traps' meant to lead crews off the correct route. In the European system the role corresponds most closely to the rally direction (Fahrtleitung) or organising committee.
