What happens if I\u2019m not league registered?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

You don\u2019t need to be league registered to enter any of our races. Just enter the race via British Cycling and then turn up on the day. We\u2019ll lend you a number with a timing chip. We\u2019ll just take your race license\/\u00a310 deposit from you and give it back to you when you hand the number back. You\u2019ll be gridded at the back of your category. You can still earn BC points if you have a full race license but you can\u2019t earn league points to qualify for overall position at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entry is available on the day each organiser will publish whether they are accepting cash\/card for payment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m league registered, anything I need to know? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll get your number with chip attached at the first event you attend of the season. You need to enter each separate event that you want to race via British Cycling. You\u2019ll earn points on certain finish positions, in that in order to qualify for overall league standings, riders must be league registered, and compete in a minimum of 6 out of 10 rounds, with the best 8 scores going towards the overall result. An email with your number will be sent out to you in the week before the first event. If you don\u2019t receive an email then just get in touch with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve emailed but haven\u2019t received a response yet \u2013 what do I do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The league is run by volunteers who also have full time jobs. As you can imagine we\u2019re very busy but will always check emails before an upcoming event so please be patient. If your query is about the event itself get in touch with the listed event organiser on BC. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do I enter an event?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both league registered and non-league registered riders should enter each event that they want to ride via British Cycling. All our events will be listed under this link: https:\/\/www.britishcycling.org.uk\/events?series_id=290<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are accepting on the day entries but we would prefer pre-entries where possible, these close on the Wednesday night before the race. This is because it makes it a lot easier for the team on the day but also helps to avoid too many people gathering in one area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must have signed in\/entered at least 15 minutes before your (or your child\u2019s) race to enable all the admin to be done for our chip timers. Allow yourself plenty of time as there is usually a queue, especially before our morning races. If you are racing in race 5 please try and avoid signing on just before someone else\u2019s race! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gridding <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

League registered riders will be gridded. For the first event this will be done based on national points and the league standings from the 2024\/5 season. The gridding will update after each round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any queries speak to the commissaire on the day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many rounds count for the league? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You need to ride a minimum of 6 out of the 10 rounds and the regional championships is also a counting round!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To qualify for overall league standings, riders must be league registered, and compete in a minimum of 6 out of 10 rounds, with the best 8 scores going towards the overall result. The two really important headings: No. Races – if you are in green then you’ve done enough races! (always room to improve though…) Best 7 Round Total Score – your 8 best scores added up to give you your overall. Standings can be found here: https:\/\/swcx.org\/wordpress\/league-standings\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you volunteer at an event you will get average points awarded for this so that you don\u2019t miss out! You can do this up to 2 times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pits <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Individual event organisers will confirm any additional facilities available for this. Please be aware of other people\u2019s personal space and try to give more room than usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pits are for pit crew not spectators! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prizes <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As with many other leagues around the country there are no on the day monetary prizes, but organisers will be giving their own prizes for Podiums that will still take place on the day to recognise the top 3 for each category!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectators <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We love having spectators at our events. Spectators should be respectful of the riders and the course at all times. No spectators should be in the pits or in the way of the lap counters <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I help out? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Interested in getting involved in South West Cyclo Cross? We\u2019re looking for event volunteers, committee members and new commissaires. If you think you might be interested please get in touch with secretary@swcx.org<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welfare<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The league Welfare Officer is Kari Eilersten, if you have any queries or need to report any issues regarding welfare or safeguarding of riders please email kari.eilertsen@swcx.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
