2010 Rule Changes
Some changes to the points and transfer system for 2010:
- UCI transfer rules for numbers advancing through rounds (example: 9 riders make a 7 man main) but using mixed motos. This was done manually in the past but the BEM program has been updated to accommodate this
- For classes with more than 8 riders (i.e. classes that have mains, semis, quarters, etc.) lane choice will now be awarded based on your moto and previous qualifier finishes. Tie break is based on count-back starting from last moto. Qualifiers and mains with lane choice have the moto sheets printed in order of choice and riders choose their lanes in staging. For all classes with total points only (i.e. 8 riders or less) there are no changes.
- When moving from Challenge class to Junior or Junior to Elite during the season you now carry your series points forward. In the past your points were reset at zero. The points table will be adjusted so there is now separation between Junior and Elite points
- For Series points Novice girls will now use the Intermediate points table. This reduces the points gap for girls moving up in class during the year.
2009 CBA AGM
During the 2009 series finals at Ridge this year we held the CBA annual general meeting. News of note follows:
2009 Western National Series Finals
The series came to an exciting finish at the Ridge Meadows track. Despite rainy weather all weekend the track held up great and all racing was completed on time. The final results are now posted on the
POINTS page.
There were 6 errors during the awards presentation. In an effort to get the awards out and everyone on their way home as quick as possible we didn't thoroughly review the results sheets before presentations. Of the
6 errors, 4 were tie-break issues and 2 were due to an issue with a seven person main where 2 are dropped from a nine rider class. We apologize for the errors and wish there could have been none as there are always hurt feelings when awards are involved. The classes with the errors have been corrected and are posted. The affected classes were
- 11 Expert Female (tie break issue)
- 7 Novice Male (tie break issue)
- 11 Expert Male (7 rider main issue)
- 12 Expert Male (7 rider main issue)
- 17-24 Expert Male (tie break issue)
- 30+ Expert Male (tie break issue)
There were 84 classes involving 510 riders this year and with only 6 errors we feel we did pretty good. Of course we will strive for zero errors next year and again we apologize to those riders affected.
2009 Western National Series Finals

2009 Western National Series points

POINTS page or the
