Finish Order is determined by number of laps, then time. Teams/Solo’s must complete their race within the 24 hour time limit-any laps finished after the 24 hour time limit WILL NOT count toward the total. No laps may start after the official finishing hour. Teams and solo’s may choose to stop and rest at anytime during the event but must re-enter where they originally exited. The team/solo (in its category) with the most laps is first. If teams have the same number of laps, the team that took less time within the above guidelines, wins.
Solo’s and teams may complete their race at any time during the 24 Hrs and will be credited with laps completed to that point to determine placing. Solo’s and teams do not have to finish within the above time constraints but must ride at least 6 laps to qualify for awards.
Numbers may not be cut, folded, altered or defaced in any way. The event will use timing cards (similar to credit cards), which riders must “swipe” at the conclusion of each lap. Each team will be allocated 2 cards to alleviate the need to “hand off”. Crew members may “swipe the card” for their rider but it is ultimately the rider/teams responsibility to make sure this is completed after each lap. All protests must be filed within 15 minutes of preliminary results posting. All signed, official results are FINAL. No protests will be accepted, nor will results be adjusted after the event. Athletes must be in attendance at the awards ceremony to receive their medals and prizes. Awards will not be mailed. Printed results will be overall places and lap times (but will not include specific rider times-please keep track of the laps that you ride in order to determine your lap time). Results will only be available on the web at www.elephantrockride.com after June 7, 2009. |
