Details: This is a transponder run event - All riders (excluding Mini Wheelers and Sprockets) must have a transponder in order to register and to be scored. It is the sole responsibility of the rider/parent to ensure the transponder is correctly affixed to their bike and is operational which includes current Mylaps subscription and sufficient battery level. In the event of a malfunction of the timing system or malfunction or loss of transponder, for any reason, the rider’s finishing position will be determined by the officials. Any rider coming off the gate without a transponder or with a non-working transponder will be scored as DNF and may be disqualified. If a rider timing start signal is detected, but not a finish signal, the Commissaire will use best endeavours to find the placing for that rider if this is not possible the rider will be scored last.

All riders are responsible to use equipment/clothing that complies with the AusCycling Technical Regulations: BMX 2021 for practice and racing. Number plates must be used during practice and racing.

The fact that any non-compliance was not noticed earlier in an event or a previous event shall not constitute a defence.

Racing conducted under AusCycling Technical Regulations: A protest may be filed by a rider through the Team Manager (Riders Advocate) with the Chief Commissaire for the scoring of a rider. Protests can only be made on the results from the scoring medium showing the order in which the riders crossed the finish line, not the decisions of the Commissaire panel that are noted in the results such as DNS (Did Not Start), DNF (Did Not Finish), REL (Relegated).

In all cases the decisions made by the Chief Commissaire are final and cannot be protested.
