2014 National Team Trophy Competition

 

The 2014 Irish BMX National Series will include a Team Trophy Competition.

 

Teams battle it out over the Series to become the National Team Champions.

 

 

 

 

The Details of the 2014 Team Competition are as follows:

 

 

Teams are made up of a maximum of 6 riders but can have as few as 3 riders. A team can use a rider that is racing in more than one category as two riders i.e. points from both this riders results can be used but this team can only have a maximum of 5 individual riders.

 

The best 3 riders results from each team will count towards the Series points. Points are based on the combination of individual riders race results. No Team points can be gained in Novice categories.

 

All 6 Nationals are counted towards the Team Competition.

 

Teams that lose a single rider during the season can replace that rider with a new rider once notification is given. All replaced riders are permanent. NO TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTES ALLOWED. You cannot replace a rider purely based on bad results.

 

Should a Team wish to replace more than one rider mid season they must make a submission to BMX Ireland giving reasons. BMX Ireland will make a decision on individual cases. All decisions are final.

 

Teams must have a designated manager (who may or may not race). Team Managers must have Garda and Access NI‎ (applicable for races held in Northern Ireland) certification.   If a Team Manager races he or she must be a CI race Licence holder. If a Team Manager does not race, he or she must hold a CI non-competition licence

 

Only the Team Manager can enter the team or raise any team related issues with the race organisers / BMX Ireland.

 

Team Mangers can enter more than one team but riders can only race for one team per season.

 

Teams can be, but are not limited to: Factory Bike Teams, Bike Shop Teams, Club Teams or even just a group of friends getting together.
