Structure & Official Rules:
Two competition formats are offered at the championships: All-Mountain (XC) and Enduro. All competitors must start in both events to earn team event points. The championship event will consist of timed heats in the ‘All-Mountain’ event, and timed stages with staggered starts for the ‘Enduro’ event. Finishers will be awarded points based on their placement in each event which will contribute to the team banner championships.
All-Mountain (XC):
Is an endurance event on a challenging course which can include double-track, and single-track trails, climbing, descending, traverses and passing opportunities.
Enduro:
Is a timed event which the racer’s finishing position is based on timed downhill stages, combined between untimed transfer sections. The overall time of the racer is not considered, instead only the timed enduro stages are used for determining finishing order.
Competition Categories:
Senior Boys & Girls (Gr. 11 & 12)
Junior Boys & Girls (Gr. 9 & 10)
Bantam Boys & Girls (Gr. 8)
Protests:
All protests must be reported by the coach to the Race Director, in writing, within 30 minutes of the race heat finish. Any protests will be investigated by the Race Director and may result in disqualification or time adjustments.
