For time trials that are part of stage races, we want it to count as a full stage, just like in the stage race. However, it's not fair to earn two sets of points with one ride, so that night will not count in the monthly standings. One factor not yet addressed is races including multiple categories, e.g. 3's and 4's. We need a new idea for handling upgraded riders, as well as a means of encouraging people to go ahead and get that upgrade, not sandbag in the wrong category. The rules of this program may be modified at any time as judged necessary by the sponsoring clubs.
Any club can call a rules meeting, and propose a change.
Changes will be voted upon, with each club, the local officials, and the local coaches having one vote. The clubs will also determine by vote whether such change such be retroactive or not, or take effect only after a preannounced date. Please go to the Discussion Group and leave your comments and suggestions.
