OVERVIEW
7 events will be run by Haus Race Team throughout the season. Each event will continue to run as single races under British Cycling rules, with cash prizes for top 3 and BC Cat ranking points for top 10/15 places. However, this year every racer will also be competing for WeBuyCycle Crit League points which will be accumulated across the season, to recognise the most consistent racers and teams.
Five races will be added to the calendar for each event;
- Open Masters 40+ 3/4
- Open 4th Only
- Open 3/4
- Open E123
- Women’s only 2/3/4
Overall POINTS AND PRIZES
We are very lucky to have the support from a number of companies to bring you some amazing prizes so please show them some love. It’s a difficult time for cycling brands and these guys are choosing to support our local racing scene which we’re forever grateful for.

We will also recognise the following categories
- Most points in each race category
- Most combative rider (Voted for by Organisers, Officials, Marshals and Volunteers).
- Best Team/Club of the series (minimum 4 riders)
Points will be given to each rider. 1st = 100, 2nd = 99, 3rd = 98 all the way down to 1 point for 100th place or the end of the field.
Points are equal across the categories and everyone gets to compete together. The rider with the most points across the season wins, simples
Sprint Leader Competition
Points for the Sprint Leader competition will be awarded to Prime winners and the top three finishers in each race. Each Prime will award 10 points. For the overall race finish, points will be awarded as follows: 10 points for 1st place, 6 points for 2nd place, and 3 points for 3rd place.
Any rider who enters more than one race on the same day will have all sprint points earned added to their overall Sprint Leader total.
Points earned in the Sprint Leader competition are separate from the Crit Series and do not contribute to the overall Crit Series standings.
