Our Race Rules

Race Rules

We don’t need a lot of rules to run our friendly Cyclocross events, but there are some guiding principles for participants in  this League:

  • Single framesets only – one bike only per competitor.
  • No pressure washers

Scoring

League points will be awarded as best 8 scores from 10 events (note, this can be 7 from 9 depending on seasonal event league variations). This rule is subject to relaxation at the discretion of NWCX Committee  where bad weather has prevented attendance or where a competitor has been affected by circumstances beyond their control.
