Points

Individual points

Based on MTBA points system - 80, 65, 55, 48 etc for each category. There will be a prize for individual series placegetters at the last race.

Club points

Based on the top 2 (may change according to numbers) riders for each club in each category, their points will be added up to work out the points for each club. eg

Elite
Bill (WW) 80
Bob (TMB) 65
Jill (WW) 55
Ben (BW) 48
Joe (AW) 43
Larry (AW) 38

So, Bill and Jill's points will be added together for Wagga (135), Joe and Larry's points will be added together for AWMTB (81) etc. This will happen for each category.
