The End of year Awards Presentation Report.

This year's championship was very similar to previous years but with notable changes such as; The first round did not have a route for every championship class. This was taken into account with Sports, Sports Plus and Over 50's doing less Rounds. The Youth A, B and some C contenders were able to ride most of the same rounds as the adults using their chosen routes. The D, E and some of the C Youth riders were able to ride more suitable alternative events with choices of conducted route where club's were able to run them. The Rounds List.

Notes (*)

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

Rounds

C/D/E Rounds

All rounds that were run at end of series less one will count. If a round is cancelled after rounds have been finalised then the championship will run all rounds run less one to count. Dates are initially fixed in January, but if a round needs to be cancelled then it may be possible to run on a new date with adequate warning to contenders.

The Rules

The Routes and Classes

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

Key to codes: x 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.)
n 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.
o 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.

 

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

(This set of rules needs updating in the light of Covid giving us a significant gap - more news when the Trials Committee have had a think!)

The exceptions to moving up a route 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.

Method of Marking

The Championship will be held under TSR22B - Non Stop.

Championship Points
