Clarifications / Amendments

In this section we list various clarifications and/or any changes made to the program or race handbook since the initial versions was published on 8 December 2018;

a.  Page 6 – Youth Restrictions:  For the U/17 categories, male and female, the following maximum roll out distances shall apply: 6.89 meters (88″)

Keirin Qualifiers

The Elite Men (12 riders) and Junior Men (8 riders) will have to take part in a qualifier round as per UCI regulation 3.2.135. The order of the qualifying times will determine the distribution into Heat 1 and Heat 2. A change to the program will be made to include a Final for positions 7-12.

Medals

All Youth, Junior and Elite categories will receive medals per category. Masters, with a few exceptions, will get medals in 5 year age increments for individually timed races and 10 year increments for bunch races, irrespective if they are combined to form a larger start group / consolidated program line item.

Exceptions include however Masters Men Points race, Masters Men Scratch race, Masters Woman 1500m, Points, Scratch and Team Sprint. We simply do not have the numbers to run them as individual age categories.

Who can take part

This event is open to South African citizens and permanent residents. The organizers may verify/confirm your participation with your Provincial/ Regional Commission. Riders will not be considered registered until all administrative requirements have been fulfilled. This event is open to South African citizens and permanent residents. In order to be eligible to enter, the event organisers will verify and confirm your participation with your Provincial/Regional Track Commission.

Junior, Elite & Masters must be in possession of a valid Cycling SA Racing License. All riders must present this license or membership at registration and upon demand during the event. No one-day event licenses will be sold.

Riders are not considered registered until all administrative requirements have been fulfilled:

  • Online entry has been completed (no paper-based entries will be accepted)
  • Entry fee has been paid in full, in advance
  • Cycling SA Track Racing License or Membership has been verified.

Costs

Entry fees for this year’s championship is based on a per-event bases, which departs from the fixed fees charged in earlier years. The reason for this is two-fold;

  • Participants enter as many events as possible during registration, but then either cancel or do not show up for the events on the day. This affects the organiser’s ability to effectively plan the race program, as each event need to take into account the planned number of participants. As a result last-minute changes to the program causes additional work for administrators and officials and cause confusion and negatively affects the athletes in their preparation for their events.
  • Access to funding for national events like this have been in a steady decline over the years. This is evident in the willingness of provinces to host these events. Western Cape Cycling is committed to hosting a proportional share of these national events to further the sport, but it requires funding to do so. With a projected budget of over R300,000 in expenses to host this event we need to rely on the cycling community to contribute towards these costs.

Fee structure

The fee structure is based on the number of events each person will participate in in accordance with the fee structure listed below.

Number of events  Price 
Track entry fee (Basic fee – Compulsory)  R         50
One event  R       150
Two events  R       250
Three events  R       350
Four events  R       450
Five events  R       550
Six events  R       620
Seven events  R       680
Eight events  R       754
Nine events  R       815
Ten events  R       850
Eleven events  R       875
Twelve events  R       890

Starting with an initial, compulsory fee of R50, the first 4 events will cost an additional R100 per event, then event 5 to 6 will cost an additional R75 each, then event 7 to 10 will cost an additional R50 each and thereafter at R25 each.

NOTE: The discounts listed above are only calculated and visible once viewed in the checkout basket.

Omnium fee

The Omnium is included in the costing for the Championship and is therefore treated as an additional event according the the above price schedule. This makes it much cheaper to enter for this 5 race event!
