A riders accumulating 2 wins or 3 top five finishes in races within a specific category will be required to up-grade to the next category level. Cycling BC will do its best to track up-grades, although it is the responsibility of the riders to self-upgrade.

For categories averaging 10 or less riders, 3 wins brings an automatic up-grade. All riders are eligible to appeal any up-grade.

Master 40 + riders with the required up-grade requirements are recommended to race with the Elite group, but not required.

All lapped riders will finish on the same lap as the first place finisher. If there are 45+ in a category, lapped riders may be pulled by the commissaire.

Points will be awarded to the top 75 finishers according to the points table below. In the case of a tie, placing at the last race of the series will be considered the tie breaker.

In the case of a category up-grade, riders will be permitted to carry 50% of their points over to the next category. Once upgraded, the rider is no longer part of the previous category ranking.

Points can be collected in all categories. All events count towards final standings.
