Defining a completed race.
Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2017 10:02 pm
In response to the issue from round one regarding the P4F2 Final, the Competition Committee worked out a definition for a completed race, and the Executive has approved it for adding to the rider info sheet for the remainder of the season. We will be recommending it be edited in to the Section A procedures this fall based on a successful review:
Any stopped race will be considered complete once the lead rider has taken the half way flag.
Any restarted race ending before it's scheduled distance needs to have completed a minimum of three laps in order to be scored on its finishing order from its last completed lap. Any red flagged race having not reached it's half way point or the minimum of three laps will receive one attempt at a restart, and the restart will be gridded identical to the original start. In the event where the second attempt is also stopped, the original race's laps and the restarted race's laps will be considered cumulative toward the three lap minimum. In the event where neither the half way point has been reached, and there is less than three completed laps the race will be scrubbed, and no points will be awarded to any rider in the race.
