The following are the only requirements imposed on event promoters:

o The event is sanctioned and officiated by USA CYCLING.

o Junior racers are specifically identified.

o Results are submitted promptly following event completion in

tabular format (First Name, Last Name, Field and Place).

Ideally, results are submitted within 72 hours so that series standings can be tabulated quickly enough to be provided by the following weekend for the next race.

Racers are awarded points by the following scale:
