Don,
I am only the messenger.
Randy Dreiling is in charge of the VW/Trek Series, and makes the rules
regarding how points are totalled for those events. All the mountain cross
country events insured by OBRA are counted for BAR points, so nobody's
losing out for BAR.
I agree that information regarding the VW/Trek Series should be posted
someplace. It may have been in the flier Randy mailed out at the beginning
of the season. I don't recall.
However, this is something specific to the VW/Trek Series. The few OBRA
mountain bike volunteers are already tapped, and to develop and maintain
Randy's VW/Trek site would be a bit much.
We'll see if we can't make things a bit more clear for next season.
Regards,
Jim Fischer
OBRA

Hmmm...
The only info I could find about number of races for overall scoring
in the series says you must race in at least 7 events to be included
at the end of the season. Nothing about only 7 races counting.
Not including a rider in the final standings because they "only" did
6 or fewer events is silly. They raced and should be recognized for
it. Let the lack of points from the missed events be their "penalty"
in the final standing.
And if you ride all of the events you should be able to keep all of
your points earned.
At least make it very clear at the beginning of the season how the
point system works and make that info available on the OBRA web site
Many of the mountain bike racers have commented on the fact that their
point totals aren't what they should be.
For the VW/Trek Series, only your best 7 races count towards the Series
final points.
Contact Randy Dreiling with any comments or questions.
