- Club Championship to run on Club Route.
- Sports Plus Championship to run on Sports Plus Route.
- Sports Route Championship to run on Sports 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 C, D & E Championship rounds to run over those events where an easier or conducted route is included.
- Over 50 Championship will run on Sports 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.

| 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.
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.
