Table of Current Championship Points

Printable version of the Points Standing.

Note: Round 9 was cancelled so only 8 rounds count!

These provisional championship results are still under revue. Rather than give no feedback, the coordinator has agreed to show the following data with a caution that the Trials Committee may decide to adjust some of these values.

You will see some added Notes for some Contenders - Here is a key to the notes:

*1. Riders may only gain points in one championship class. (The higher rating class will be the default.)
*2. This may be an error. (Points may change when resolved. Contact the Coordinator for more information.)
*3. Previous Class Winners may not gain points in the same class for a period of 2 years.
*4. Rider may elect to contend a different championship class before the series end. (Points may change when resolved. Contact the Coordinator for more information.)

As this is the second year with this set of rules there are implications for the 2018 winners of each adult class. 2018 Winners must ride up a route if they are to gain points. The exceptions are, of course, Experts, who can't get any higher, and Over 50's who are allowed to remain on the Sports Plus route. Winners can stay on the same route but will be ineligible for points.

For more info contact the Trials recorder by email: johnlaurence5@yahoo.co.uk.

The Rounds: (Planned so far - There may be more there may be less!)

All rounds run at end of series less one to count. If a round is cancelled the championship will run all rounds run less one to count. Dates are fixed in January, if a round is cancelled it can not be run on a new date.

The Rules

The Routes and Classes

Expert Championship to run on Hard Route.
Clubman Expert Championship to run on Clubman Expert Route.
Clubman Championship to run on Clubman Route.
Sportsman Plus Championship to run on Sportsman Plus Route.
Sportsman Route Championship to run on Sportsman Route.
Youth A B C Class Championship to be run classes based, riders on hardest route will score most points. This allows riders to progress throughout the year moving up or down routes as required.
Youth D, E Championship to run over those rounds where a conducted route is included.
Over 50 Championship will run on Sportsman Plus Route.

Note: Class Numbers - Some results sheets may be tight for space and classes may be abbreviated to the numbers declared on the entry form so here is a quick cross reference.

1 - Open, 2 - Over 50, 3 - Youth A, 4 - Youth B, 5 - Youth C, 6 - Youth D, 7 - Youth E.

Note: We have amended the explanatory table for where you can and can't score points for clarity. There is no real change as CofC's have always been able to identify routes suitable or unsuitable for some Youth groups.

Riders, look for class you want to/should ride in along the top of the columns

Rounds to be identified with Regs.

Key to codes:

Points can be gained in this combination (Youth riders may not be eligible for more difficult routes, Reg's will say. This is a CofC's choice.)

No Points can be gained if you've been a winner of this class within previous 2 years (unless >50 as you don't have to move up a route!) You will get points for the next route if you move up a route, of course.

Can ride this route for no points (Riding down a level while injured etc.)

info

Points can be gained if riding up a route by choice as long as remain on that route all year - Or, Ride up a route for no points. (Possibly only the higher route's points should be allowed as otherwise could be pot-hunting!) Only one selected route eligible per year ie no dodging routes to cherry-pick.

Some rounds may not include Sportmans plus, Sportsman or Conducted Routes, please check event regulations to confirm.

Winners of a championship class will move up a route for the next year, or ride as no award for the next two years.

Method of Marking

The Championship will be held under TSR22B - Non Stop.

Championship Points

Championship points will be awarded to the top 15 eligible finishers in each class at each round on the following scale:

1st 20 Points
2nd 17 Points
3rd 15 Points
4th 13 Points
5th 11 Points
6th 10 Points
And so on Down to 15th Place 1

Should a Tie occur it is to be resolved in accordance with TSR23A. Riders who score points in one championship class shall not be eligible for points in another championship class.

Championship Ties.

Should a tie occur in a Championship series it shall be decided as follows:

a) In favour of the rider with the greatest number of wins in ALL rounds held.
b) If not resolved then the greatest number of second places and so on down to 15th place in ALL rounds held.
c) If not then resolved, by the rider with the best performance in the final event held.
