MBO Score National League Events This Year
BMBO compiles a National MBO Score League and an MBO Score Championship Event each year. The current events and numbers for this year can be found here:
Qualifying Criteria for the National League
The qualifying criteria:
An MBO Score event of 3 hours or more in duration that use electronic timing or phone based App will be included in the National League.
For multi day events the seperate score for each days will count.
In events where there is a choice of duration, event organisers must nominate, before entries open, which duration qualifies for the National League. This must be clearly indicated on the event details and the statistician informed. The default situation is that the longest course will count.
All nominations for events to be included must be registered on the BMBO calendar by 31st March.
Best 10 event scores will count to the league final position.
No more than 6 event scores can count from a single region/organiser/club.
Class winners will need to have ridden in at least 7 events to qualify for prizes. This same rule applies to lower placings that might receive awards in the classes with the largest numbers of qualifying riders.
League Points and how they are Calculated
The average of the top five scores is used to determin the ranking points. All other finishers who have registered their BMBO number on their entry will receive a pro rata percentage of the top 5 average score using the following formula
(Your score/ Top 5 average score)*100%
Note that any E bike scores are not included in the Top5 Average.
All amendments to League points must be notified to the statistician within 3 weeks of the League first being circulated to members.
The organiser,plus one nominated helper, at an event will receive the average of their best three scores as an 'organisers bonus'.
Tie break
In the event of a tie, the following will be used, in order of preference, to determine the winner:
1. Where the competitors have competed against each other in one or more events, then the better mean of such scores only will be used.
2. The greater number of class wins.
3. The next best discarded score(s) will be added.
In addition to the National League there are several Regional Leagues (mini leagues) administered by BMBO clubs in the region. These are listed on the Event Calendar page of this website.
Time Period for the league:
The league will run from 1st November through to the final nominated event in October (this will be confirmed when calendars are populated by league organisers and is normally the last eligible event).
Presentation of the BMBO National league prizes will take place at the last qualifying event of the league or at the AGM.
