- Upgrading can include moving to a category that races a longer distance OR moving to a more competitive category at the same distance (i.e. Beginner 35+ to Beginner).
- The list of riders who must upgrade for 2012 can be downloaded here: 2012 CCORS Mandatory Upgrade List
- The goal of this is to encourage fair competition in all classes. If you feel your upgrade requirement is unfair please contact Ryan Danell or Kieran Finney ("Contact Us" link to the left) and we will consider your case.
- Note: if you do not podium for any individual race this year you may downgrade next year.
Team Competition:
- Any 5-8 riders can make up a team.
- Each rider can be a member of only one team.
- Teams must be declared by the third race of the season (Greenville, 3/18/12) - email team rosters to webmaster@ecvelo.org.
- The top 5 riders from each team will "place" at each race.
- Team with the most points at the end of the season will win the overall team award.
- The winning team will receive the team trophy for the year along with all requisite bragging rights.
Points System: (same as 2011 system, ALL categories earn the SAME points)

1st = 10 points
2nd = 9 points
3rd = 8 points
...
10th = 1 point
11th = 1 point
...
- Bonus points
- Riders that attend 5 series races will earn 2 bonus points.

- Bonus points will apply to final point tallies for determining the overall series podiums and prizes.
- Series podiums
- In order to place on the series podium a rider must enter at least 4 races in a given category (you do not need to finish 4 races, i.e. you can DNF and still place, although this is unlikely).
- Best 4 finishes (plus any bonus points) are used to calculate overall series points.
- Overall ties will be resolved based on next best place in 5th race and then (as necessary) by head-to-head race placings.
- Any class that does not have at least 3 riders competing in at least 4 races may be determined ineligible for overall series prizes.
