Rules and Scoring

This page will attempt to answer some FAQs and clarify the rules for this joint-conference race. All normal USAC, NCCA, ACCC, and ECCC rules will apply. Everyone is encouraged to consult the rulebooks and guidelines from each of those organizations, they make for fantastic reading.

Scoring

The standard NCCA road points tables will be used. Note that these have been updated for 2007 to include the Introductory Category.

Conference standings points will be awarded based on riders' absolute placings. For example, an ECCC rider who finishes 21st in an A race but is the first ECCC finisher will receive no points toward the ECCC standings.

Based on those points, team and individual standings for the season and weekend will be calculated seperately by the two conferences as usual. Note that the ECCC team scoring calculations have been revised for 2007, as documented at length in the 2007 conference meeting notes.

Categories

ECCC riders must adhere to the ECCC rules restricting riders to categories based on their USCF categories as follows and documented at length in the 2007 conference meeting notes. All races meeting the appropriate criteria will be worth upgrade points for ECCC riders. These restrictions do not apply to ACCC riders.
