(note that all riders who finish a race receive at least 2 points for the series).
Note – there is no minimum number of races riders must compete in for the series, but there is also no “lowest score dropped” or “best 6 of 7″ or any other rule like that. In other words, the points series favors those who race every race. Show up, score points, have fun. If you can’t make every race, score lots of points in the ones you do make!
