RULES & INFORMATION
Scoring:
•For each race, you will be given a point score based on the number of people you place ahead of, plus 3 points for the TT’s and 7 points for the road races.
•The top three finishers, male and female regardless of age, will receive a 1 point podium bonus.
•1 point bonus for ‘Merckx’ TT riders, except for the Coal Bank HTT.
•1 point bonus for single speed or CX bike on the MTB TT.
•Men and women will be scored separately.
•Your best 7 events will count towards your overall score for the season.
•You must finish the entire race to get points for the race.
Example: If 12 men participate in the GilaMega TT the top finisher would receive 15 points and last place would get 3 points. (11 points for beating 11 others + 1 point podium bonus + 3 points for TT = 15 points)
*All 40K TT finishers will place above the 20K TT finishers. I.E. the last place 40K finisher will be scored as if he/she finished in front of all the 20K riders.
