Each category has two different types of races in which competitors can accumulate points: Sprinters will race in both Chariot and Match sprint while Endurance riders will race the Elimination and Scratch.

A new addition to the series is the scooter race where riders ride behind the scooter for a certain amount of laps ( eg 20 laps behind scooter) at a constant pace and then the remaining laps they race. Rider/riders are allowed to ride their own race if they don’t want to stay behind the scooter. A maximum of 1 Lap behind the scooter per rider is allowed.

Points allocated as follows: 5, 3, 2, 1 for first 4 riders. There is racing for all categories, from novice to Elite riders.
