The 2009 team competitions will now be co-ed in Citizen, Sport, and Expert classes (no women’s comp class). There will not be separate men’s teams or women’s teams but rather a combined team consisting possibly of both genders.
Men and women will still score points based on where they place within their gender. Therefore, a male and a female can contribute the same number of points towards their team. (Ex: There could be a 1st place male and a 1st place female on the same team. Their points scored will be combined for a total team score.) The top 3 point scoring riders will earn points for their team.
End of the season recognition will be based on a team's top 6 events. In the event of a tie at the end of the year, the teams' best 7th event will be used. All other team guidelines will still be in effect.
We believe that this will add more value to the performance of women team members, especially in the expert class as well as increase the women’s participation. Please email any questions and your team rosters to John Oman at j_oman@yahoo.com
