Rules and Scoring

Mid Atlantic Time Trial Series: Scoring and Rules

The official scoring and rules for the MATTS Series goes like this:

Eligibility:

•All racers are eligible to earn individual points.
•Racers will receive points for the Category they race in at the actual race (i.e., if you race as a Cat 4 at Deep Blue then you get Cat 4 points for that race, if you then race Master 35+ at Church Creek then you get scored towards the Master 35+ for that race).
•Racers from any region or local association are eligible. Unattached riders are also eligible for the individual competition.

Individual Scoring:

•All scoring will be based on the official results published by the race promoter.
•Points will be awarded to a racer's score in the Individual Competition as follows:
•
1st Place: 15 points
2nd Place: 14 points
3rd place: 12 points
4th place: 11 points
5th place: 10 points
6th place: 9 points
7th place: 8 points
8th place: 7 points
9th place: 6 points
10th place:5 points
11th place:4 points
12th place:3 points
13th place:2 points
14th place:1 point

Everything else: 1 point (ie, 1 point for showing up and finishing)

•Points are awarded based on absolute finishing position

•If a racer upgrades out of a Category during the MATTS series, they are not removed from the competition. However, they will not be able to accrue any additional points.
•If a racer changes teams during the MATTS series, they may continue to accrue points that will contribute to their individual scoring total. Individual points are team-agnostic.
•In the event of a tie, the series leader or series winner will be determined through the following scenarios, in order:
•
◦At the last MATTS series event where the tied contestants both competed, the tie-break will be awarded to to the racer who finished higher (ie, if you beat them on the road, you beat them in the competition)
◦If the racers did not compete directly against each other during the MATTS series, the tie-break will be awarded to the racer with the most Top 3 finishes in MATTS Series events
◦If the racers did not compete directly against each other and have the same number of Top 3 finishes, the tie-break will be awarded to the racer who had the most Top 10 finishes in MATTS series events.
◦If that still doesn't do it, the tie-break will be awarded to the racer who registered for the most MATTS Series events.
◦Seriously? OK, if there's still a tie the winner is the racer who competed in a MATTS Series event most recently.
