As agreed at the AGM in December 2017 that the following will apply
All rounds of the Ulster XC series would count for senior riders with youth having 4 out of the 5 rounds counting.
The Senior 3 women’s category will use the same course as the Under 14s
The rules below came into effect in the previous AGM in February 2017
Top three senior male riders overall in any of the Ulster xc senior leagues (excluding S1 category), must compete in the category above the following year.
If the rider does not wish to compete in the higher category, he can remain in a lower category the following year, but will not be awarded points and will not be eligible for podiums.
Any riders who have not competed for a calendar year or more, may race again in the lower category, as normal.
NPS grading lists will take priority. This will ensure that riders who don’t compete in the NPS series are placed in the correct category for their ability.
