Awards

Points and merged classes explanation

- If a rider advances in ability during the year (e.g. Novice to Int or Int to Expert) their points to date are carried forward with them to the new class
- If a rider moves to Junior or Elite during the year their points DO NOT carry forward and they start over at zero points and zero races completed
In the case of merged classes (due to small numbers) the points structure will work as follows. This is the same for both merged ability and merged age:

The riders will receive points from the table corresponding to the class they are merged with in THAT race. A change from the 2007 season is that the merged rider will take those points to their class as they PLACED for THAT race and their placing will not increase according to the number of riders from their actual class.
Examples:

  1. There is only one 8 Novice Male so he moves to the 8 Int. Male class for that race and receives Int. points. He takes second place. He receives a second place award for that race and SECOND place EXPERT points towards his class SERIES ranking (which would be 8 Int. Male in this example) 
  2. There is only one 7 Expert Female so she moves to the 8 Expert Female class for that race. She takes third place. She receives a third place award for that race and THIRD place Expert points towards her class series ranking (which would be 7 Expert Female in this example)
