Standings


OWPS Series Rules

Individual Competition Points

  1. Individual points will be awarded for each race in the series according to the points table. Only those riders who are annual OBRA members will be eligible for series awards and final series results. If a non-annual member becomes an annual OBRA member after earning series points, they will retain all previously earned individual points.
  2. Individual points earned in a stage race will be awarded according to overall GC placing only. Points will be awarded at 1.5x the value for individual placings according to the points table.
  3. In a team time trial, individual points will be calculated by dividing the points awarded for the team placing by the number of riders that started on the team. For example, if four riders start on a team and the team places 1st, each rider receives 25 points for the individual series standings.

Team Competition Points

  1. In a road race, criterium, individual time trial or stage race (GC only), team points will be calculated by adding the points of the top three riders from each team according to the points table.
  2. In a team time trial, team points will be awarded to one team per category (Senior Women and Category 4/5 Women) in the team competition, according to the points table. For example, if one OBRA team starts two separate teams in a team time trial, only the highest placed team will be awarded team points.
  3. Only registered OBRA teams are eligible for the competition and only annual OBRA members may earn points for their team.
