2013 SERIES GUIDE

CHAMPIONSHIPS BY INDIVIDUAL: We will use a race drop points system that allows riders to accumulate points in a smaller number of races. This will expand the opportunity for more riders to stay in the hunt for the Series Championships by Category for the entire calendar. We will count each riders top 12 results. All race disciplines (CRIT, CIR, RR, TT & GC) will count the same and all races will be placed 25 places deep for points. Please see the full point breakdown below. This will allow racers to have bad days and select specific events they chose. Please note the Ocala Stage Race will offer 4 Sets of points, the two Road Races, the Time Trial and the Overall General Classification will all count towards the series. Also note that Ocala will be a TRUE STAGE RACE for 2013, which means you must register for and compete in all three stages to qualify for GC.
