North Island Cups – Draft Points System 2023

We are simplifying the points system.

A rider can compete in as many events as they wish, but points will only be allocated to one Cup, ie either endurance Cup or Sprint Cup.

All individual races require riding in the relevant qualifying event.

There are bonus points available to respect greater age.

Age	Bonus Points
30 – 34 years	0
35 – 39 years	5
40 – 44 years	10
45 – 49 Years	15
40 – 54 Years	20
55 – 59 years	25
60 – 64 years	30
65 – 69 years	35
70 + years	40

Points for team events are awarded to each rider in that team.

There will be updates on points totals throughout the carnival.

Endurance Cup

Points are gained from competing in the Endurance Qualifying, Group Allocation, Team Pursuit, Scratch, Tempo, and Points races.  As well as the Age Bonus points.

Endurance Qualifying

There are bonus points for racing in a higher ranked group.

To lessen the disparity with Enduro Quallie, we are this year trialing splitting Enduro Quallie into 2 heats for those wishing to get into group 1 or group 2, and 2 heats for those wishing to ride in groups 3 and 4.

The heats will be determined on the day to allow for late scratchings, and to ensure an even spread of age and numbers across the heats.

Placing in the heat will determine the allocated grade for all subsequent individual endurance events.

Group Bonus	Points
1	40
2	30
3	20
4	10

Riders must compete in endurance qualifying to be eligible to race in an endurance individual event.

Endurance events

Endurance events other than the Points Race will use the same Enduro Points Table.

Points are allocated based in the riders placing compaired to other riders also competing for the Endurance cup.

This includes Team Pursuit, where the same points are awarded to each member of the team.
