Series Structure
The BMX BC Cup Series consists of seven races featuring some of BC’s top BMX events. Points are calculated from the results of each race and then riders are ranked in the series standings. Overall series winners will be presented with an award at the Cycling BC Awards Banquet on October 3rd.
In the event of a tie between two or more riders, the rider who places the highest at the BC Cup Finals will be awarded BC Cup Champion.
Classes
A class is made up of 3 or more riders. When there aren’t a sufficient number of riders to complete in a class, one or more classes are combined. Where one or more classes are combined due to a low number of registered riders, points are allocated to each rider based on how they would place in their regular class. However, the “Award of the Day” will be awarded based on the outcome of that particular day, not based on how the rider would have been placed in their regular class.
For Example: Two Intermediate riders are grouped together with three Expert riders. The points will be given as first and second to the Intermediate riders in their class and to the first, second and third to the Expert riders in their class and the Award of the Day will be given by their actual order of finish for that day.
Awards & Payouts
BC Cup Awards for the Day:
All Amateur Classes will receive an “Award of the Day”. The “Award of the Day” will be a choice between trophy and Moto money.

Results & Standing Protests & Appeals
Race Results
Protests concerning the results of any first-round moto will be accepted for a period of 15 minutes following the results from that moto being posted. In any case, no protests can be accepted once the mottos for any main or semi-main in that class have been posted. The results from any main or semi-main can only be appealed within 15 minutes of the main or semi-main being run.
Once the Chief Commissaire has declared the results of any BMX event as final, no changes to those results will be made. It is the responsibility of participants or their parent / guardian to examine posted race results for accuracy.
Series Points
Protests or appeals concerning series points will be accepted until 7 days prior to the series final. If an error has been made in the tabulation of points, it will be corrected. No changes to the series points will be made for the appeals concerning the results of individual races.
Final Series Standing
Appeals to the final series standings for series points will be accepted for a period of 15 days after the series final. If an error has been made in the tabulation of points, it will be corrected. No changes to series points will be made for appeals concerning the results of individual races. In the event that changes to the results of either series are made during this 15 day period, those affected by such changes are required to exchange any awarded plates or trophies as defined by the changes made to the series results.
