SCF NATIONAL RANKING-GENERAL CLASSIFICATION (GC) SYSTEM AND RACE LICENCE (2023)

The new year is upon us and our first event is just one month away in Jan 2023. The following are key highlights of the SCF Ranking-Points GC System for the upcoming season, for all clubs and club members to pay special attention to:

1. ONLY the top five (5) individual points scorers for each team (men and women) will be used to calculate the end-of-year team score for the Top Ranked Team/Club.
2. For any duo or team race, the calculation will be done based on the individual rider’s timing/position (points) and subsequently added on to the team (points).
3. Teams are permitted to change their team’s name during the season (although we strongly encourage the established affiliate clubs to avoid doing this as it would have an impact on your affiliation to SCF and, the Full/Associate Membership status). The SCF and the Event Organiser must be kept informed with at least one month’s notice, before the race/competition date and, the Club President or Club Representative will be required to drop us an email to effect the change.
4. If a rider wishes to switch from one team/club to another, the rider & club(s) must inform SCF - for SCF to review/approve 30 days before an upcoming event. Again, here we would like to strongly advise the established affiliate clubs to consider entering into an agreement with your riders at the start of the season and for them to commit to remain with your club until the end of the season.

• A maximum of one (1) switch can be made at any time during the season and, individual points secured can be transferred to the new team/club. HOWEVER, :
• Current team points are NOT transferable to the new team/club.
• An administrative fee of $50 applies.

*The updated events calendar and the Policy Document on the SCF National Ranking and GC System (MTB and Road) for 2023 will be published sometime by mid-January 2023.
