- The District 42 Omnium shall consist of the Road Race Championship,
Time Trial Championship, and the Criterium Championship.
- The omnium categories shall consist of the following categories:
30+
40+
50+
master women (35+)
junior 10-12

- The top ten places in each category shall be awarded points. The points
will be awarded in the following manner: 15, 12, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- If the championships are combined with another state or district, points
will be awarded only to District 42 riders. Points will be awarded such that
the first District 42 rider across the line receives 15 points, the second
District 42 rider will receive 12, etc.
- If less than ten people compete in any championship, this will have no
effect on the point distribution. That is, the first District 42 racer across
the line shall be awarded 15 points, the second will be awarded 12 points,
etc. This is done to promote attendance at all the races.
- A rider does not have to start each event in order to win the
omnium.
- If one of the championships should be cancelled due to weather, or lack of
attendance, and there is no rescheduled event, no points will be awarded
and the winner will be decided from the remaining races.
- The winner of the omnium will receive a District 42 Championship jersey
and be able to ride free (not including USCF insurance and District 42 fee)
in all District 42 events the next year for that category. For example, the
winner of the senior omnium can ride free in a senior (Category 1,2,3)
event but not in a Masters event.
- The participants in the omnium must reside in District 42.
