  4. 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 30 points, the second District 42 rider will receive 26, etc.

  5. If less than fifteen 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 30 points, the second will be awarded 26 points, etc. This is done to promote attendance at all the races.

  6. A rider does not have to start each event in order to win the omnium.

  7. 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.

  8. Cat 4 or 5 riders cannot win their respective category two consecutive years.

  9. 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 Omnium events the next year for that category. However, free entry is not guaranteed in all BAR races. 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.

  10. The District 42 omnium is open to any rider than lives in the state of VA.
