Information subject to change Revised: 21 October 2011
RIDER ELIGIBILITY Below is a summary of the eligibility and qualification rules for USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships. Full rules can be found in Section 7 of the USA Cycling Rule Book. 1.
To compete, all riders/teams must bring this form with them to packet pick-up: http://www.usacycling.org/forms/collegiate/collegiate_nationals_eligibility_form.pdf
2.
To register for the event, each rider’s Conference Director must first check off that the rider has met both the minimum race requirements (#3-5 below), and qualified for one of the conference’s allocated start spots (#6 below).
3.
To compete in the Endurance Races, riders need to have competed as a category A Rider in three conference mass start endurance races that season.
4.
To compete in the Dual Slalom Race, riders must have competed as a category A rider in three conference gravity races (4X, DS, or DH – Super D does not count) that season.
5.
To compete in the Downhill Race, riders must have competed as a Category A rider in three conference gravity races that season, and at least two of those races must have been downhill races. If the rider’s conference had fewer than two downhill events, the rider can petition to substitute USAC Category 1 or higher downhill events from the current calendar year to count toward the rider’s eligibility.
6.
Each conference is allocated a finite number of start spots in the endurance races. To earn one of these spots, in addition to the minimum requirements (#3-5 above), riders must rank highly enough in the conference either as a team or individual. Each conference determines differently how many of these spots go to teams and how many go to individuals, so ask your conference director or team leader for details. If you don’t think you will earn enough points either as a team or individual to qualify, there may be extra start spots available from other conferences, so ask your conference director.
7.
Teams may enter a total of 8 men and 8 women at the National Championship.
8.
Teams may enter up to 6 riders in each race.
9.
To place in the Individual Omnium, riders must score points in at least one endurance event and at least one gravity event.
