What is the reward? • Members of the teams individually will receive a bonus 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 and 1 point respectively towards the TWE series point-score. • Again this year riders will not earn individual points for placing in races. Why are we doing this? • Because it is a heap of fun. • It is a great opportunity to socialise with people you normally wouldn’t • A Div 1 rider will intently watch how his Div 5 team mate is going and may offer a tip or two Team’s night procedure • Please ensure that when you sign on you receive a colour strip and a safety pin • Record your colour on sign on sheet (in the correct column) • Please pin your colour to your left sleave Team’s night seating • Again this year I will set up 6 flagged areas. One for each team colour. • It is encouraged/ compulsory that riders from each team sit in designated area. • At the conclusion of the warm up, all riders will be asked to relocate to their respective colour camps. What if there is a draw on points • Should two teams be equal on points after round 4 and potentially be in different ride off’s (e.g. 2nd and 3rd tied) • In RAW Track style, Scissor Paper Rock between team captains will determine the higher position. This week’s Races • Round 1 Warm up Scratch • Round 2 no race this week • Round 3 Sprint (max 10 up@ 4laps) Div 1 200m fly • Round 4 Points race • Round 5 Super Italian Explain these races Explain these races Sprint- – at RAW Track, sprints are usually run as 4-10 ups over 3-4 laps the first few laps are usually spent sizing your opponents up and positioning yourself for the optimum explosion to the finish. It is not uncommon for a sneaky rider to attack early in the hope of holding a lead to the finish. The sprint is a test of power, speed and above all, tactics. Point score- - Riders must score points by sprinting for intermittent sprints every ?? Laps for bonuses (5, 3, 2, 1 points). Lapping the field scores a bonus 20 points, consequently losing a lap to the field scores -20points. Winner of the race is the rider with the most points Sub-note: generally at RAW Track we do not allow loss of laps, rather call this a forced withdrawall Point Score info Last week’s top scorers • Div 1 4 x riders 15 points • Div 2 Nosh Mistry 16 points • Div 3 Ben Lehner 20 points ….
