Course

Details

The winner of the series, and

the recipient

of the

Holden Cup, will

be decided by

the

total points gained over the

best eight rides for each

rider - 20 points for

1st

Wigan Wheeler,

19 points for

2nd etc each week.

In the event of a tie for

the series,

the winner will be decided by the

lowest aggregate time.

To qualify

for the Holden Cup you must have

carried out

marshaling duties

twice as set

out on

the

Marshaling

Rota

The Series will be promoted jointly by St. Helens and

ourselves.

St.

Helens will

promote the first segment of

five events

and the

third

segment of five. We will

promote the second and final

segments of six

events.

We need to provide 3

marshals each

week. St. Helens

will look

after Rainford Island, whilst we will do

the M58

turn. The Wheatsheaf

island will

be jointly marshaled by

the 2 clubs.

Any other club member

who has a spare

evening will,

of course, be warmly

welcomed - the more

the merrier.

Wigan

Wheelers

This year, as part of the Wednesday evening Rainford

10s, there

the winning team on

the night.

A further bonus point will be

awarded

the

fastest

team each week.

The

points

will be totted up over the

summer and can be

found on

the same

page as the

esults

from each week's

10.

The aim of this

competition

is to encourage more club

members

race

and to allow everyone who turns up

each

week

to be

part

the competition, however fast

they are riding, and whatever the

size of the field that

week. So for

this

first year the rules will as

follows:

1st placed rider each week scores 50, 2nd place 49 etc.
The team with the highest score wins on the night.

2 points for the win, 1 each if it’s a draw, every week
towards the overall competition.
1 bonus point every week for the team with the
fastest average speed.
First team to 34 points wins the competition.

Giving the points according to overall position of all the

riders on

the night, rather than just within the 2 clubs

(like we do for

the

Holden cup), means faster rides are

more heavily rewarded

but

also that

hose (like me)

the slow

end can still be

scrapping

for points even if

the

y are the

slowest

rom

both clubs

on the night

The

fastest team bonus point

help

s to

balance

out the

advantage

of having a bigger team.

Everyone

who rides

ounts towards the team score each

week

no limits on team size
