4. STARTING ORDER
ATTENTION: competitors are required to mark their bike with a plate with a valid start number no later than 12:00 noon on Saturday, courses are open only to registered competitors with a properly seeded number.
Start lists will be compiled separately for Race, Hobby, E-Enduro (regardless of category), Newbie, Rookie and Grom competitions based on the running order in the entire Czech Enduro Series from pre-registered riders.
The system itself will rank the registered competitors according to their average score, and then assign the competitors starting numbers. The average score will be regularly updated on www.enduroserie.cz in the racer's profile. The average score is based on the points table for the absolute ranking.
a) Calculation at the first start of the competitor in 2025
In the first race for which the competitor enters, the average score of the 3 best races in 2024 will be calculated. In case of 2 races, the average score of 2 races. In case of one race ridden, the result from one race.
a) Calculation at the first start of the competitor in 2025
In the first race for which the competitor enters, the average points score of the 3 best races in 2024 will be calculated. In case of 2 races, the average points score of 2 races. In case of one race ridden, the result from one race.
b) Calculation after the 1st race in 2025
1 race ridden = average points gain 2024 + points gain from the 1st race 2025 divided by 2 (hereafter / 2)
2 races ridden = average points gain 2024 + points gain from the 1st race + points gain from the 2nd race / 3
more than 2 races ridden = system selects the highest 3 points gain / 3 from the races ridden 2025 and average points gain 2024
c) if the rider has not ridden any race in 2024
1 race ridden = 1 race profit points / 1
2 races ridden = 1 race profit points + 2 race profit points / 2
more than 2 races ridden = top 3 2024 profit points / 3
Competitors start in order of highest to lowest starting number. Specific start times will be posted on the website by 8:00 pm each Saturday. In the event that the leading competitor in the running order is not present at the start, start number one will not be assigned. The race director has the right to award a maximum of 5 wild cards (priority starting number). Competitors start in the first RZet or transfer according to the following start lists, competitors start in subsequent RZets in any order.
Women in Race and Hobby can start regardless of the order given by the starting number.
The race may start with a transfer. The competitor should always prepare for the start with one foot on the ground, standing in the pedals is not allowed!
5. RACE COURSE AND SAFETY
5.1 The Enduro course consists of several RZets (special stages) and transfers. The RZets are mostly downhill, with a section of climb that is no longer than 15% of the total length of the RZet. The track is not extremely technically demanding. The E-Enduro course also includes a Power Stage, i.e. an RZeta with a climb longer than 15% of the total length of the RZeta.
5.2 Transfers are used to move competitors from the finish of one RZet to the start of the next RZet. The competitors may transfer in groups, but always on their own without any assistance. On the Saturday before the race there is a time limit for the whole race, which is calculated from the start to the first ROW or the first transfer if the race starts with a transfer. For every 5 minutes over this time limit, 10 seconds will be added to the sum of the times from each RZet. The Race Director has the right to postpone the time limit by 15 minutes if more than 20% of the riders have missed the time limit.
