Although, I'm not sure how the masters 40+ guy got 15 points for Frozen Toezen...

To what edition of Froze Toes are you referring?  If you mean this year, there were 10 or more 40+ racers, so the winner gets 15 pts.  The points go as follows:

1st=15
2nd=12
3rd=10
4th=8
5th=6
6th=5
7th=4
8th=3
9th=2
10th=1

I see.  So the MOBRA meeting minutes are wrong or the rules have been changed.  Any chance that the rules for the 2006 MOBAR "competition" are posted anywhere?

[Mike S.]

In my races  everyone gets points.  

Mmm-hmmmm.

[Adrienne]

Don't think the rules have changed recently...a win has been worth 15 points for at least the last couple of years.

[Craig Farrell]

Actually, last year was the first year winners got 15 pts.

Also changed last year was how points are given to riders in races with less than 10 entrants (the last place rider gets 1 point, the next gets 2, up the scale).  For instance, if only 5 racers start then 1st gets 5 pts, 2nd gets 4, etc.

The final change last year was the addition of the Masters categories.

I'll publish the rules when I get a chance, since they didn't make any of the MOBRA minutes last year.

Sounds great and thanks in advance.

Thanks Craig for doing this job, and attending every MOBRA meeting there has ever been except one.  Ought to get some kind of award for that.

Well...not really.  You're giving me far too much credit.  I've only been showing up since '03 and I've missed meetings.  I guess I just time them so that I miss them when you miss them.

Here's my initial list.  If I've forgotten any, please let me know.

- MO USA Cycling-licensed riders only.
- Road, criterium, and time trial events only.
- 6 Categories

o Men 1,2

o Men 3

o Women 1,2,3

o Women 4

o Masters 40+

o Masters 50+

- If there’s a Masters 40+ race with no Masters 50+ race, 50+ masters get their points added to their 50+ total.  (I.e. there are no 50+ masters in the 40+ standings.)
- Costs to promoters

o $.50 per rider per day

o Provide free entry to each winner from last year to one race per event (e.g. if a winner qualifies as a Masters 40+ and Cat 3 and there are separate races for each, only one free entry is given)

- Points are awarded to the top 10 finishers in each event as follows:

o 1st=15

o 2nd=12

o 3rd=10

o 4th=8

o 5th=6

o 6th=5

o 7th=4

o 8th=3

o 9th=2

o 10th=1

- Races with fewer than 10 entrants award points from the bottom up.  E.g. with 7 entrants, first place gets 8 points, second gets 6, etc.
- State championship events (road race, time trial, criterium) get double points.
- Major events (Tour of KC, Gateway Cup) get points for overall for those categories to which the event awards overall.  (E.g. if Gateway Cup doesn’t have Masters overall, then no overall points for Masters.)
- In cases where there are multiple races RUN AT THE SAME TIME for either of these new categories (e.g. Froze Toes had a Women Open race and a Women Cat 4 race), only the most difficult race is eligible for points (e.g. for Froze Toes, only the Women 4 racers in the Women Open race get points). In the case where there are multiple races run AT DIFFERENT TIMES for these new categories (e.g. ICCC's Criterium Race is having a Cat 3 & 4 race as well as a Cat 1,2,3 race), racers will receive points in both races (assuming they finish in the top 10 overall).
