The DIRTy Mitten Elimination Race
- No GC time, only TEAM points accumulate
- There will be 4 ROUNDS of racing – every rider participates in every round
- A new round will begin approximately EVERY 20 MINUTES
- Register for A pen for all 4 Rounds
- Round one has 1km neutral roll, other rounds NO neutral
- At the finish, note your finish position on the finish screen.
- Also note the TOTAL riders in your field – this will be at the top of the RIDER LIST during the race
- If you’re in the top HALF finishers you STAY IN THAT PEN for the next round. Round the math UP if needed (eg, 8th out of 15 stays, 9th moves down).
- If you’re in the bottom half, you move DOWN a pen (eg if you’re 9/15 in B, switch your registration to C for next round)
- On Companion App – click the “more” tile all the way to the right on the menu bar, select “EVENTS” and the next round should be listed in that list – open and change your pen
- The only way to really screw it up, is clicking the “JOIN NOW” on screen prompt BEFORE changing your registration. And don’t worry – you’ll still get to race, you’ll just be harassed mercilessly.
- The pens are set to 1 minute staggers to ensure they don’t mix on the road – and also to ensure the slower pens are able to finish the prior event (though I don’t predict that would have been an issue)
- Scoring will occur ONLY for FINISH ORDER FINAL ROUND
- Each final round pen will have a weighted score that will probably be max A/70, B/50, C/40, D/30
