2021 AC National Cup Guidelines
2021 National Cup Guidelines
The AusCycling BMX National Cup is a series of events where riders can earn points in Platinum, Gold and Silver events. The series events can start on 1 January and last until the AusCycling National BMX Championships Points
Throughout the season riders are awarded points for their best results from up to eight (8) races.
Calculation
Competition points will be awarded based on the overall finishing place/points within each round multiplied by the value of the round.
- Best three (3) BMX State/Territory Series rounds [1 x base points]
- State/Territory BMX Championships [2 x base points]
- Best three (3) BMX National Rounds [2.5 x base points]
- AusCycling National BMX Championships [3 x base points]
Maximum possible points — 1240
Base points table
Merged Classes
In the scenario where classes have been merged at an event (for whatever reason), points will be awarded to the rider as per the entered class of the rider.
For example, if a rider is merged into a class and is placed third in that class, but they are the first rider in their entered age class, they will be awarded points for first place.
Tie Break
When competitors share the same number of Series Total points, tie-breaking is performed:
- The competitor with the highest number of points earned, in a single event, that counts towards their series total, is awarded the better rank.
- If a tie remains, the next highest points for each competitor are compared, and so on, until all events that contribute to their series total are exhausted.
- Competitors who still cannot be separated will share the same rank.
Riding Up
For State/Territory Series rounds, competitors may move to certain categories. If riding up the rider will not receive series points however, the round will be included as a qualification round. Specifically, this can be done in accordance with the AusCycling Technical Regulations:
- Except at National Championships, National Cup and State/Territory Championships, competitors may enter (ride up) above their racing age or ride the opposite gender category equal to or above (but not below) their own racing age. This includes age-on-day and year of birth racing.
- A competitor in all categories other than participation categories (Novice, Sprockets and Mini Wheelers) may ride in any age category above their racing age up to the pinnacle category. Pinnacle category is the category with a maximum age of 34, categories above the age of 34 shall be combined with the next younger category. Participation categories are permitted to ride up within their category only. (e.g. Sprockets must stay in Sprockets and Novice must stay in the Novice Category).
Merged Categories
In the scenario where categories have been merged at an event (for whatever reason), points will be awarded to the rider as per the entered category of the rider.
For example, if a rider is merged into a category and is placed third in that category but is the first finisher in their entered age category, they will receive first-place points.
Tie Break
When competitors share the same number of total series points ties will be broken using the following method:
- The competitor with the highest number of points earned, in a single event, that counts towards their series total, is awarded the better rank.
- If still tied, the next highest points for each competitor are compared, and so on, until all events that contribute to their series total are exhausted.
- If still tied, the riders will receive the same series placing.
