RULES

Introduction 

This RR League seeks to focus on scoring points in West Midlands Regional events throughout the season, with awards for individual and club/ team standings overall.

The key points of the League Structure are:

  1. The RRL is aimed at clubs and teams in West Midlands and adjoining regions. West Midlands riders and clubs only will qualify for the overall and team standings.
  2. All events will be run under the technical regulations of BC. 
  3. Entry to RRL events will be for 2/3/4 category riders in accordance with Regional A event requirements, except for any Nat B races which are also open to E/1 riders according to BC rules. 
  4. League points will be awarded according to the following: 120 points to the winner, then descending in increments to a nominal one point for 80th. West Mids qualifying riders will receive points depending on their actual race position.
  1. League scoring points for any multi stage events that form part of the league will be based upon the final overall classification for the event only. League points will not be awarded for finishing position within each individual stage. 
  2. Should a rider change clubs mid-season, all points scored remain valid for individual and club scoring according to the club at the time of entry. Riders who upgrade licence to a higher category then 2/3/4 mid- season will from that point not be able to compete in RRL events, though their individual and contribution to team points score will remain. 
  3. In order to encourage all riders to participate in the race until the end, every rider that finishes will score points and their score will count towards the overall for their team/clubs score. 
  4. A rider’s best 5 results from the 6 rounds of the series shall contribute to a rider’s overall points total. In the event of a tie on points at the completion of all RRL events then the tied rider’s or club/team’s results at the final RRL event will be taken as the deciding factor. 
  5. The prize fund for each event can be determined by each club but we recommend priority be given to lower entry fees rather than high prizes.
  6. An overall award will be given at the end of the season for both highest ranking West Midlands individual(s) and highest ranking team(s). Teams will qualify for inclusion in the ranking only if they are a club registered in the West Midlands region. A £500 contribution to the Prize Fund for the League will be provided by the Region, plus any additional £’s and/or prizes obtained from sponsorship.
  7. As a minimum using the Regional funding the prize list will be £500 for each of the WMRRL. Individual awards will be paid direct to the rider concerned, and Club/team awards to the club.
  8. The RRL/RRS results and current standings will be updated and posted on the regional social media pages.
  9. Final standings will be published within one month of the final RRL/RRS event. Prize money will be distributed within two months of publication of the final standings; however it is the responsibility of the individual riders and club/teams to provide the Regional Treasurer with contact details so that prizes can be issued. Any riders or clubs/teams who have not provided the information to the WMRRL Treasurer at this stage will not receive their prize money.
  10. A duplicate trophy will be awarded to the Individual winner. This trophy shall be retained by the Individual winner.
    A trophy will be awarded to the top ranked Club/Team. This trophy shall be retained by the Club/ Team and returned to the RRL Co-ordinator prior to the final RRL event of the following season. Trophies will be awarded at the West Mids volunteer celebration evening in November.
  11. Events included in the RRL for 2026 are as detailed as per race calendar on this website
