2013 SCNCA SoCal Cup Rules


All SCNCA road races, stage races, omniums, criteriums, time trials, and circuit races will have the opportunity to participate in the 2013 SoCal Cup.  To qualify as an eligible race, it must be a SoCal Cup category and meet the minimum times shown above. Stage races and omniums are exempt from the minimum times.  Omniums consisting of time trials will not be considered as omniums for SoCal Cup points. The SoCal Cup season will end on September 2nd.

Clubs/Teams will earn points for all riders registered with USAC as club/team members.  Points earned in a combined category race such as a 3/4 race, will only be applied to the HIGHEST SoCal Cup category (in this case, Cat 3). Standalone Cat 1 and Cat 2 races will not be eligible for points.  At a minimum, master races must be open to Cat 1-4 riders to be eligible. The top five riders in each category will be recognized as riders that have a valid annual USA Cycling license listing the SCNCA as their local association. 

Best Overall Teams will be determined by adding the points for all of their riders in the respective team categories.  Riders will earn points for the team listed on their USAC license.  If there is no team listed on a rider’s license, the points will go to the listed club.  Unattached riders will not contribute team points.

Races entered onto the calendar, after the annual scheduling meeting, will be awarded SoCal Cup points based on a vote by the SCNCA trustees.

Please be aware that once results are posted at an event, you have a 15 minute window to protest the results.  Once that 15 minute period has elapsed, the results are official and they cannot be changed.  The input to the SoCal Cup is based on the official results submitted by the USCF Chief Referee.  Requests to change placings and team affiliations will not be made.  Changes to correct an error so that it is consistent with the information found on your USAC license will be made.  These changes are typically done to correct typos of a rider's name or USAC club/team.  We will also correct any omissions to the SoCal Cup database, as long as that missing data is found in the official results.
