Format:
1. Each ABA track on Vancouver Island will hold a
Vancouver Island Challenge qualifier race.
2. Each Vancouver Island Challenge qualifier race and the
finals will be a single district points race.
3. A Vancouver Island Challenge Champion will be awarded
for each ABA amateur age class.
These classes can be found at the bottom of the page.
4. Points will be awarded based on the Provincial
Championship points system. As it
is with the Provincial Championships, rider points will not be included.
5. Any ABA rider can race a Vancouver Island Challenge
qualifier race, however only Vancouver Island (BC01 district) riders will be
eligible to become a Vancouver Island Champion.
6. In the past a rider had to race 3 Vancouver Island
Challenge qualifier race plus the finals to be eligible for Vancouver Island
Champion status. For 2008 a rider must
race at least one Vancouver Island Challenge qualifier race plus the finals to
be eligible for Vancouver Island Champion status. If a rider races more then 3 Vancouver Island Challenge qualifier
races, only their top 3 scores plus the finals will be used for scoring.
7. Rider points and placing will be posted at each track
and on a website developed for the Vancouver Island Challenge no more then 2 weeks after a qualifying race has taken place.
8. Each Vancouver Island Champion will receive an award
unique to the title immediately following the Vancouver Island Challenge
Finals and any rider racing the Vancouver Island Challenge Finals will receive
awards for the day weather they are eligible for Vancouver Island Challenge
Champion or not.
