The two best results this season will be used to work out an average which then gives a gridding position. These best results are based on your position within each overall race, so will be not just dependant on your league position or category position. For example, you may finish 8th Vet 40 and 26th overall within the race at one round and at another round finish 11th Vet 40 and 20th overall within the race. Your gridding average for the next round would therefore be 23 ( 26+20\/2 = 23)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, you may feel that a rider is gridded ahead of you, even though you may have finished ahead of them at an earlier round. This will be all based on their best overall finishing positions so it might be they had a great result at a different round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you DNF a race, this information is not considered in a gridding average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We grid for safety<\/strong>. Riders who have not yet taken part this season or visiting riders may feel that they should be gridded for safety. Riders will need to provide evidence that they should be gridded to the event commissaire.

Different courses suit different riders, different venues have different numbers of competitors. This information means that you are gridded in the correct area within the field of riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please remember, it is just a guideline.
