Race Guidelines
· The following guidelines are to be used for scoring at North West BMX Super Series events and read in conjunction with “North West BMX Super Series Event Flyer”
· Riders will be scored 1 – 8, according to their position crossing the finish line.
· Scoring System:

· Scorers must score according to the placing allocated to each rider as per the Score Slip, supplied by the Race Recorder, unless authorised otherwise by the Race Commissar or Race Director, who will sign the bail slip accordingly.
· If a nominated competitor does not start in their moto, then the race sheet is marked “DNS” (did not starter) for that moto. “DNS” scores maximum points based on a full gate start (8 points).
· If a rider starts but does not finish in a race, then the race sheet is marked “DNF” (did not finish) for that moto. “DNF” will score equal to the number of riders who started in the moto.
· A rider must be scored in at least 1 moto in order to use an event as a qualifier. Rides with DNS results will not be included as a qualifier.
