Welcome to the Virginia Off Road Series (VORS). We hope you find the Series Challenging and Unique. VORS will consist of 4 existing race series to create a diverse racing environment. VORS has been structured with a mountain bike core including other disciplines to create a competitive environment.

Virginia Off-Road Series Winners
will include Top 3 in each category.

CATEGORY SELECTION
VORS season begins with Camp Hilbert #1. Points will start accruing with that race. In order to chose a category, competitors must race in a XC race by May 31, 2008. There are 3 XC races available by that time.  If a racer plans on competing in his/her first XC race after the May 31 deadline, he/she can still qualify for VORS by contacting us with their selected category by April 15.  The class you chose will be the category you will compete in for the season. All points accrued in that time frame will be moved into that Competitors Category slot.

SINGLESPEED need not worry about May 2008 deadline.

POINTS will be awarded by OVERALL Results in each of the VORS Racer Categories, which means the age groups will be combined on each level for the purpose of awarding points. Clydesdales will be grouped with the Sport Men. Points will be awarded based on race directors (FredEvents, 18 Hour, RunRideRace, Richmond Multisports, and Sports Backers) final results. Any discripency with race results should be address to them. A racer can participate for points in as many qualifying races as they want through the year. There is no minimum or maximum number of races allowed. VORS is only responsible for VORS point standings.

After May 31st, if you have not classified for the Virginia Off Road Series, you will continue to accumulate points in the Unclassified Section..... Unclassified competitors points will not go toward TEAM points. There are no awards for the unclassified competitors.

FredEvents FORD races will receive points in the Advance Cat only for VORS scoring.

*Special Situation
Natl Off Road Duathlon Championships- due to the the inclusion of both the Championship and the Sport Duathlons, points will be scored as such:

Championship - Enduro/Multi Class
Sport - XC Class

This is a one time exception to regular rules.


Clarification for Endurance Races: 18 Hours on the Farm & 12 Hours of Lodi. Three categories will be used on an overall basis for awarding points: Male, Female, and Coed Teams. Points for team events are divided by the number of team mates. Example: 400 points awarded to overall winner. If solo, you capture all 400 points. If you are duo, each team member receives 200. If 4 person, each member receives 100.

If a racer changes their class during the year, XC races at a different class level will not qualify for points but Multisport/Enduro and Endurance points will.

Multidiscipline races are only awarding points to individual(solo) racers. Relay teams do not score points.

WILDMAN TIE BREAKER
If there is a tie on number races then highest ranked wins.

Tie-Breakers at the end of the year will be determined by these conditions, in order:
- Most races
- Who placed higher in the last race where racers competed against each other
- Last racer to complete a race

VORS Directors may participate in races but will not accumulate points towards the Series.
