A quick reminder on how the Teams Challenge points system works;
1. As a team member in the 2013 NVC McDonald International Teams Challenge you are required to do the following : a. Assist your team with ALL marshalling duties b. Wear your team shirt to ALL Teams Challenge Events, if you do not race in your team shirt you and your team will not receive ANY points, there will be no excuses allowed. c. Have fun
2. Points for TEAMS a. Graded Scratch races i. For ALL Graded Scratch Races the following points will be allocated to riders in their individual Divisions Race Placing Team Points 1st 26 2nd 23 3rd 20 4th 17 5th 14 6th 11 7th 9 8th and Up 1
b. Handicap Races i. For ALL Handicapped Races the following points will be allocated to riders in their individual Divisions ii. For Example : If we have 45 riders register and start the race the following occurs
3. Points for INDIVIDUALS a. Graded Scratch races i. For ALL Graded Scratch Races the following points will be allocated to riders in their individual Divisions
b. Handicap Races i. For ALL Handicapped Races the following points will be allocated to riders in their individual Divisions ii. For Example : If we have 45 riders register and start the race the following occurs
4. In many of our Teams Challenge race we have both visitors to the area, local non-team affiliated riders and on the odd occassion, a scheduled marshal team member who ride in the race. When this happens we account for these riders as follows : a. In the Offical results they receive their finishing position and recieve any/all individual race winnings allocated to that race b. In the Teams Challenge results they are not considered and their places not registerd. For e.g. i. If one of these riders places 3rd and you place 4th, , in the Teams Challenge results you will receive the points for your team and your individual total alloacted to 3rd position, and likewise those that followed you across the line will receive the higher positioned results
Above all, the teams series run over the last 6 years has been highly successful, and the key ingredient successful teams have applied is to simply get as many of your team members on the start line at as many of the races possible. Success is this race format dose not always go to the people who win races, the culmination of points often promotes a team above a team that may have had better results, yet who may have had fewer riders than you on the day. This is a simple fact, yet a proven strategy for sucess!!!!
Happy Teams Racing in 2013; I look forward to another successful season in 2013 - Year 7 of the Teams Concept
