Qualifiers from Round 1 will be ranked above the riders participating in Last
Chance, with the Last Chance riders ranked according to finish position in

6.1.041ter This tie-breaking method is used in the following cases:
a. In case more than 1 rider in a heat is scored with the same IRM as described inarticles 6.1.034 and 6.1.035;
b. In case a tie occurs in any particular heat where a clear decision cannot be
determined from the applicable scoring system in the transferring positions in theMotos, or the Qualifiers or in the case of a UCI BMX Racing World Cup, Round 1 or
Last Chance;c. In case a tie occurs when determining the Final Classification, as described in article
6.1.041.

11
Version 1.2

In all of the above cases, the tie will be broken by applying the following methods in theorder listed below until the tie is broken. In case a method is either not available or not
applicable to the situation, then the next highest priority tie-breaking method will be used.
a. Time in the previous heatb. Position in the previous heatc. If applicable to the situation, the rider’s best finish (time, or if not available, finish
position) in the preceding qualifiers preceding in descending order of Semi Final,
Quarter Final, Eighth Final, et cetera, until the Motos are reached
d. In descending order 3rd, 2nd, 1st round finish result in the Motos

f. For Championships categories, the UCI Individual BMX Racing ranking, or for
Challenge level and Masters categories, the national ranking or series ranking used

g. In the case of breaking ties between riders scored with the same IRM, at random.
Otherwise, if the tie can’t be broken according to the above method, then the riders
concerned shall share the place in question, and the place(s) below would not be allocated.
For example: 2 riders tied for 5th place in the semi-finals would both receive 9th place in the
Final Classification; the next place awarded would be 11th place.
6.1.041 quarter Should a situation arise in a heat in one of the three Rounds of Motos or Nontransferring positions of a heat in the Qualifiers or in the award positions in the Final wherea clear decision cannot be determined from the applicable scoring system, both riders will
be scored with the better ranked finishing position. For example: a protest between 5thplace and 6th place finishing position would in the case of a tied decision ultimately give bothriders 5th place finish in that particular heat; 6th place would not be allocated. Awardpositions in the Final shall refer to the riders ranked 1st to 3rd for the Championships andMasters categories and 1st to 8th for the Challenge categories.
