Question about racing points

JesseD

Anyone tell me how you claim points for placing in a race and what the points system is and how they are awarded.

Thanks

Jesse

You don't need to claim them, you just make sure you give your licence number when signing on, and then when the results go to BC, you'll get them if you finish in the top 10 (or 15 or 20)

Cool, cheers jibberjim, I placed 10th in a crit on Thursday so should have 1 point, I take it that once I get 10 points, then I send in my licence and they change it to a 3rd cat one?

no need to send it in, they just send you (or your club) a new licence when you upgrade, it's all automatic. Just check on the BC results site to see yourself there, and your new status of having 1 point!

Not sure that's correct.

Note that all the other classifactions mention the season limit, except for foing up to 3rd cat - no mention of it being in a single season there.
