So, the last NPS of the yea<\/a>r is just around the corner – and it looks like it’s going to be an amazing one.<\/p>\n

A lot of you have fought hard for points all year, so please be aware of the criteria to qualify for an overall placing.<\/p>\n

All SENIOR<\/strong> and JUNIOR<\/strong> categories must attend a minimum of 5 races<\/strong> in order to qualify for an overall placing.<\/p>\n

All YOUTH<\/strong> categories must attend a minimum of 4 races<\/strong> in order to qualify for an overall placing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NPS trophies will be assigned to the Top 5 positions (assuming sufficient race attendance numbers), as an example, based upon the current tables, zero trophies will be assigned to SENIOR WOMEN 1 (due to riders not attending required number of races), for SENIOR WOMEN 2, a max. number of 4 trophies will be assigned, for\u00a0SENIOR WOMEN 3, 2 trophies will be assigned, for JUNIOR a\u00a0max. number of 2 trophies will be assigned etc..<\/p>\n

If you DNF’ed in a race, this still counts as having attended a race, so please check the results table here<\/a> (Excel file).<\/p>\n

In column Y on the “NPS League table<\/a>” tab, it shows your points for the best 4 or 5 races, several riders to date have only completed 4 races, and thus show as zero points on the table, once these riders attend the final NPS then their points will be assigned.<\/p>\n

For example, in SENIOR 2, Jim Haide has a total of 69 points but does not yet qualify for an overall placing and thus does not have a position assigned, if he had attended another race, he would be in 4th position overall. Another “danger-man” Paul Coyne is in a similar situation with 59 total points, which would put currently put him in 6th place.
\nIn SENIOR 1, Niall Davis has a total of 69 points but does not yet qualify for an overall placing (4 races attended to date) and thus does not have a position assigned, if he had attended another race, he would be in 2nd position overall.<\/p>\n

Aiden McDonald has a total of 82 points but does not yet qualify for an overall placing (4 races attended to date) and thus does not have a position assigned, if he had attended another race, he would be in 2nd position overall.<\/p>\n

So, moral of the story; watch-out for the danger-men\/women<\/span>!<\/p>\n

Ensure to check the XC League tables<\/a> to see where you could potentially finish the year and who could unsettle your best-laid plans!<\/p>\n
