2009 NW LAJRS Team Racing Series

This is the site that will be used for the 2009 NW LAJRS Team Racing Series.

The 2009 Series rules are as follows:

All Junior Aged riders Eligible to compete for the NW LAJRS Team Stage Racing title. Points will be based on finish position within class racing.

Riders obtain points inversely proportional to the starting field size, plus bonuses for first, second and third place (6, 3, and 1 point respectively).

For example, if the starting field were 8, points would be as follows:

  • 1st: 8+6 = 14 points
  • 2nd: 7+3 = 10 points
  • 3rd: 6+1 = 7 points
  • 4th: 5 points
  • 5th: 4 points
  • 6th: 3 points
  • 7th: 2 points
  • 8th: 1 point

The team competition will be based on the 2 best-placed finishers on a team in each category. Teams will score points for each category in which riders compete in 3 of the 4 Series Races.

Race Categories:

  • Junior Male 10-12
  • Junior Female 10-12
  • Junior Male 13-14
  • Junior Female 13-14
  • Junior Male 15-16

A team gets credit for all points scored by Junior riders in that team’s jersey. Riders and teams should take care that riders register for each race under the team’s name and that the team gets credit in the standings for all of its scoring Junior riders.

If a rider changes club/team mid-season, the rider’s points earned with his or her old club/team remain with the old club/team. Any points earned with the new club/team will be counted toward the new club/team’s points.
