2011 - 2012 Club Races

General Details

1. The Summer Series will be held on Saturdays in October, November and December 2011 and January, February and March 2012. Precise dates are available on website and flyers.

2. Members must compete in 3 races before the final race to be eligible to win the Summer Series on the championship day.

3. The Series Champions will be determined by their participation in the required number of races and by being the highest placed qualifier in the final race of the Series.

4. Where the member has competed over more than one distance during a season, he/she is still eligible to win one grade championship as long as he/she has competed in enough club races of that grade and raced in that grade on the final day.

5. Being an official/marshal on any race day entitles you to count this as ‘competing’ in the race of your choice for the purpose of qualifying for a championship. This can only be applied once per series and individuals must actually compete over that distance on 2 other occasions before the final race to meet the championship criteria.

Compulsory Briefing
All competitors must attend the compulsory race briefing prior to the start of the race.

Swim

4. ALL competitors must keep to the left hand side of the road, observing all road rules.

5. Cyclists must mount their bikes at the designated mounting point on the left-hand side of Burke Street, and dismount before entering the transition area. No scooting in transition area is allowed.

3. Competitors are responsible for counting their own laps and may be disqualified at the discretion of the race director if incorrect laps have been completed.

4. Receiving or accepting assistance during the race may result in disqualification. You are not obliged to assist others or should expect that others will assist you unless it is a medical emergency.

5. In the event of unsafe racing conditions such as wet weather, unforeseen heavy traffic or road accident (particularly during the bike leg), race marshals may shorten or call off any race at any time. This may include limiting races to 1 or 2 legs, eg swim/run. Competitors will be advised verbally before or during the race if the race is modified.
