2011 western Nationals #1 and #2

The first two Nationals of the 2011 season are in the books. A great indoor track was ready for ferocious winter racing action. The turnout was below par considering the facility and the fact there is no other racing in Canada until April/May but for those that made the trip the reward was great action on a great track put on by a great crew in Abby. Full results posted in the POINTS section.
Plenty of photos posted here thanks to Lee Cejalvo.

2010 Rule Changes

Some changes to the points and transfer system for 2010:

• UCI transfer rules for numbers advancing through rounds (example: 9 riders make a 7 man main) but using mixed motos. This was done manually in the past but the BEM program has been updated to accommodate this
• For classes with more than 8 riders (i.e. classes that have mains, semis, quarters, etc.) lane choice will now be awarded based on your moto and previous qualifier finishes. Tie break is based on count-back starting from last moto. Qualifiers and mains with lane choice have the moto sheets printed in order of choice and riders choose their lanes in staging. For all classes with total points only (i.e. 8 riders or less) there are no changes.
• When moving from Challenge class to Junior or Junior to Elite during the season you now carry your series points forward. In the past your points were reset at zero. The points table will be adjusted so there is now separation between Junior and Elite points
• For Series points Novice girls will now use the Intermediate points table. This reduces the points gap for girls moving up in class during the year.
