The club’s handicapper Rob Langridge on the format for the Sutton Super Series II this year.

Six races will be held over the winter season at the Sutton Road Training Centre with riders accumulating the points gained for each race as per the list below:

1st 10 points

2nd 8 points

3rd 6 points

4th 4 points

5th 3 points

6th+ 2 points

This scoring system differs from the RMS. 10 points will still be awarded to the winner even if only two start the race.

Riders with the most points accumulated at the end of the series will be crowned grand champions for their grade.

Here are the main rules:

The final round will be worth double points and riders that participate in all races will get a bonus 12 points.

Prizes such as gift vouchers will be presented after the final race for first, second and third places.

Riders must compete in the final race to receive a prize and be present at the prize ceremony.

Riders who are promoted will take half their points with them to the higher grade.

Point scores will be kept for each grade and updated after each round.

If more than one rider finishes with the same final score, a count-back of the overall results will determine the higher place getter.

The races may not all be scratch races, with a points race as another option.

Riders intending to compete in the series should make themselves familiar with all the rules.

The current forecast is for a max of 13 degrees on Saturday so raise your body temperature by racing around the Sutton Road circuit.
