Points will only be scored on the designated challenge rounds.

for 28th.
All competitors who start will score 1pt.
Registered championship contenders who officiate on a qualifying round instead of
competing, may claim a score of 20 points.
Championship contenders may claim these points no more than ONCE during the
championship year.
Those who intend to claim officiating points MUST provide proof of having
officiated to the championship results official. This MUST be done within 24 hours of
having officiated.
Number of scores to count is as follows:
Best 6 scores
The minimum events required to constitute a championship is 6 events.
If the number of events available fails to reach the minimum numbers above then the
committee reserve the right to cancel or adjust the championship as deemed
necessary.
In the event of a tie, a tie decider will be used. There are 3 steps to deciding who wins.
Step 1 – The contender with the highest number of wins is the champion.
Step 2 – The first contender to win an event in the calendar year will be deemed
champion.
Step 3 – If steps 1 & 2 fail then the person who scored most first in the calendar year
will be champion.
Please note that the tie decider is used to separate people on the same score and does
not mean that if you have won more events you are automatically Champion. You
MUST be one of the contenders on the same points.
Results
Results will be published after each round as soon as possible on the website.
The final championship results will be published once the championships are
complete and will be posted as provisional for two weeks to allow any enquires or
disputes to be handled.
Awards

eligible for an award.
Awards may be added or removed at the committee’s discretion.

3rd o/a
Disputes
In the event of any dispute a written query must be addressed to the championship
stewards, the stewards are independent of the club committee, contact details are
listed within the contacts section of these regulations.
Advertising and Sponsorship
In order to score championship points competitors are required to display decals
promoting both the championship and club supporters. These decals must be fixed in
specific locations details of which will be notified to all registered competitors by
post. Failure to display correctly positioned decals at any time during a championship
round may result in loss of points for that event.
Competitors are advised to send all press releases, video clips or any other form of
media coverage to the website administrator so that they can be put up on the website.
