Registration & Race Numbers

Numbers are to be positioned on the right hand side of the jersey and slightly to the rear and clear of the arm so that it can be read by the judges. If the judges cannot see your number, you will not be awarded points.
Allocated race numbers are to be kept for the series. REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR RACE NUMBER TO EACH EVENT. If you may not attend more club races please kindly return your number and we will hold onto it for next time for you

Signing On
With the exception of race 1 (you are deemed to have signed on by registering) all riders must sign on prior to racing, weather you have paid for the series or not. If you score points in a race and you have not signed on you will not be awarded points.

Event Format

Grades will be combined (D&B and C&A) on the track together. Combined grades will assemble in the start area together and there will be a short time delay between grade starts – faster grade starting first. Riders dropped from their grade shall not join in or interfere with the other grade on the circuit. Riders who have been dropped and are being lapped by their grade may join back in WITH THE MAIN BUNCH BUT MUST NOT CONTEST ANY SPRINTS. At the race managers discretion riders may be pulled from the race.
Faster riders must give way to slower riders and pass to the outside when passing on a corner. The exception to this is in the S bend section where faster riders should pass on the right hand side – The faster group is to warn the slower group to stay left as they approach. There will usually be a rider marshal with D&C grades to assist in this area.
