Race series (rounds)

saprkzz

On the calendar on BC web, i notice a lot of races are in a series of races. Like series 1, round 1, Race 1 and will run for a number of weeks.

Can you enter any of them, or do you have to enter the first and race through. Can you race maybe round 2 and 4 only? (for example), or just turn up to one of them?

Thanks

Yep nothing wrong with entering 1 race only.

With the series they simply have an overall winner, but is not a requirement that you do enter them all if you do not wish too.

Excellent, thanks for your reply

You will probably have to pay an extra fee to register for the series though - even if you only do 1 race - maybe £10

It depends on the series. Some of them you have to enter the whole series. The entry fee will give you a clue though, if it says £50 then it is for the series if it is only around £15 then you can enter each race individually.

Here's a daft question. If I enter a 4th Cat series with say 10 races and I win my first one, can I no longer compete in the others?

If you move up a category after the closing date for a race you have entered, you can still ride but not pick up any points. Presumably your 4th cat series has EOL / no closing date? if so you can't ride. Tell the organiser and they should move you to another race if there is one or refund your entry fee.

It was hypothetical, I was just curious.

Thanks for clearing it up!

Should be easy for them to move you up a category as most races tend to be 4/3 and 2/1 or run at the same time.
