The results Process and appeals

Results are the responsibility of the Chief Judge of the race. The results

are deemed final within 15 minutes of when they are posted at an event. If

you feel that they are in error you must notify the CJ within that time period.



It is standard procedure for the CJ to only pick the top 15 of a group at

the finish. The exceptions to this are that in a stage race all the

participants are timed and picked. For an Oregon Cup race we pick the top

20. More manpower is needed to pick a full field of 30+ riders.



When you see a suspected error, a rider would need to report that to the

judge along with any other helpful information (like the names or numbers

of other riders in the group)



The judge is not highly paid and should be treated with respect. We really

do appreciate it when a rider comes back up to the finish and makes

comments such as "Just checking to see that you got me, I think I was

7th" Sometimes the riders should wait a few minutes but still stopping by

is very much appreciated.



Please remember that in a road race it is unacceptable to ride with any

rider who is not in your group. So if a women finishes within a pack of

male riders that is not considered fair.
