National and Regional Rankings Explained

From the start of the 2006 season, a new ranking system will apply to Road and Track racing, supporting the new events framework. The key changes to the system are the splitting of rankings into two: National and Regional. Plus, Club and Team Rankings are added to the system.

National Rankings

 Licence points gained in National events will produce the following National rankings:

National Individual Rankings. A ranked list of all riders will be determined by total points scored in National events, and produced for Elite, 1st, 2nd and 3rd category riders.

National Club /Team Rankings. A ranked list of clubs / teams will be determined by total points scored in National events, with a maximum of 3 scoring riders per Club / Team in any one event.

National Region Rankings. A ranked list of all Regions will be determined by total points scored in National events, with a maximum of three scoring riders in any one event.

National Youth Rankings. A ranked list of all riders will be determined by total points scored in Youth events, and produced for each Youth age category, male and female.

Regional Rankings

Licence points gained in Regional events will produce the following Regional rankings:

Regional Individual Rankings. A ranked list of all riders will be determined by total points scored in Regional events, and produced for 2nd, 3rd and 4th category riders.

Regional Club /Team Rankings. A ranked list of clubs / teams will be determined by total points scored in Regional events, with a maximum of 3 scoring riders per club / team in any one event. Points will only be scored for a club / team if the event is held in the Region in which the club / team is registered.

Residence

Points will be awarded on the basis of a rider's region of residence - not that of his club / team affiliation. If you live at a non-permanent address, e.g. full-time students and members of the armed forces, you can score points for the region of either your temporary or permanent address. 

Notes:

Points scored by Elite and 1st category riders in Regional C+ events will count towards National rankings.

Points scored by 2nd, 3rd and 4th category riders in Regional C+ events will count towards Regional rankings

Points scored by 2nd and 3rd category riders in National events will count towards both National and Regional rankings
