Hi All,
I'm entering my first ever MTB race in Sept & am trying to figure out how the points work with BC.
Is there only points for the first 25 or so, or does everyone who completes the course get at least one point ?
The race is classed as BC Regional B.
Any help appreciated.
Also, I'm only a bronze member of BC at the moment, do I have to get the provisional lic or full lic to get the points & a silver membership.
Seems like I'm buying all these things, just to get the points !
Number of points depends on the category of the race. The points are a bit pointless in XC, I think the only advantage is getting gridded higher up the field in some of Regional/National races, so you may not want to worry too much about them until you start placing quite well.
Which race are you entering out of interest?
Here is the allocation key:
NATIONAL MOUNTAIN BIKE RANKINGS POINTS SYSTEM 2013
Licence Points are awarded as follows:
International A Olympic Games, Senior World Championships, Junior World Championships
International B World Cup and Senior Continental Championships; U23 World Championships (XC only);
Junior Continental Championships. Master World Championships

Masters Continental Championships

Regional A Double points: Regional Championships
Single points: Designated Regional Series events; Sport race at National XC Championships;
Regional B Single points: Other Regional level ranking events; Short Course DH events

Cross Country notes
1: Where separate races/starts are arranged, points are awarded to riders of both genders in each of the following categories: juvenile, youth, junior, senior - elite, senior - expert, senior - sport, master (30-39), veteran (40-49); grand veteran (50+). Ranking points are not awarded for single speed category races.
2: For National Senior Championships, National Under 23 Championships, and for Regional B & C events where senior riders are amalgamated into one race, only one set of points will be awarded. The ability categories will not be split out, but riders will receive points in their own ability category. *The National Under-23 Championships will carry double points at the Regional A level.
Downhill notes
For the National Championships, Expert and Elite are combined as one category (Senior Championships), but will be split out for points so that the top 40 Elites and top 40 Experts all receive points. All senior category riders wishing to gain ranking points must race the Senior Non Championships race.
