Explain these races Point'a'Lap- The race is run similar to a point score-however each lap is a sprint for first place only and worth one point. The overall winner is the rider with the most points.
Half Field 5 lap scratch/sprint. Your Division will be split into two heats (based on point score rankings). So if there are 18 riders in div 2 there will be two heats each containing 9 riders. The race is run under standard scratch race rules. At only 1.25km in length this race is considered more like a sprint than a scratch race. SERIES• The Hillbrick series is a separate point-score over selected events
• The Hillbrick events will be well balanced between sprint and endurance events.
• Riders will score 5, 3, 2 and 1 points for 1st to 4th in any grade of a Hillbrick series event (not including Novice)
• The final event will be a handicap for the top 15 point scorers of the series.
• In 2009 the final handicap will decide the series winner
• First prize will be a “Hillbrick Carbon Pista” Frameset
The “Hillbrick Series" this week • Event 4 of the Hillbrick series is the Round 4 Point'a'Lap
