APPENDIX 5

 

ASSIGNMENT OF INTERNATIONAL RACE NUMBERS

  1. Riders wishing to compete in a Philippine National Bicycle League (PhilNBL) sanctioned BMX or MTB Racing event must display a race number on their number plate in accordance with the rules below.

    Rules applicable to riders in the BMX Championship classes are as follows:

    1. Race numbers for races in the categories at elite/junior level (Elite Men, Elite Women, Junior Men, Junior Women, Elite Cruiser and Junior Cruiser) shall be assigned by the host organization of the event.

    2. Race numbers will be assigned per class. A rider who wishes to ride two bicycle styles (20” and cruiser) will be assigned one race number per class.

      The top 8 finishers in each competing class at the PhilNBL National BMX Championship of the previous year will be assigned numbers 1-8 by PhilNBL.

      A zero (0) will be put before the race number of a rider who finished within the top 8 at the PhilNBL National BMX Championship of the previous year, in case this rider moves up to a higher age class.

    3. Riders who did not finish within the top 8 in a particular class at the PhilNBL National BMX Championship of the previous year, will be assigned a race number at random, in each competing class ranging from 50-999 by the organizer.

  2. Rules applicable to riders in the BMX Challenge classes are as follows:

    1. Race numbers in the categories at non-elite/junior level (Men 19 & over, Boys 6 & under through 16, Girls 7 & under through 16, and Cruisers 12 & under, 13-14, 15-16, 19-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45 & over) shall be assigned by the host organization of the event. The only exception will be the PhilNBL National BMX Challenge, for which the race numbers will be assigned by the PhilNBL office at no charge.

    2. Race numbers in the Challenge classes shall be assigned in accordance with the rules as described in paragraph A.2. and A.3. above, but wherever the word “Championship” appears must be read “Challenge”, whilst the addition of a zero (0) as described in paragraph A.3. only applies in case a rider moves up to a higher age class which comprises more than one year. Partial deviation from the above-mentioned will be the PhilNBL National BMX Challenge, at which only earned numbers 1-8 from the previous year National Challenge will be recognized, whilst all other numbers will be assigned in sequential order.
