POINTS SYSTEM FOR DA EVENTS                                             Top of Page

There will be a cup for the individual with the most points, a cup for the lady with the most points and a cup for the Section whose members gain the most points. The aim of the points system is to encourage participation in events. If an event has a competitive element it will be for the organising Section to award separate prizes to winners if appropriate. There will in general be 5 points for starting and 5 points for finishing an event but please note the details above for each event. Please note there will be no points just for turning up at the start and then going home. There must be some substantial participation in the event and this will be for the organiser to judge. There will be no points just for attending the lunch place of the event (except the picnic)

In the event of a tie for either the Overall or the Ladies after all Events are completed the Cup will go the Rider who has attended the most of any part of any DA Groups Sunday Rides during the period covered by the DA Events ie from 13 April to 7 September. For the avoidance of doubt it is confirmed that if a Rider takes part in another Groups ride within the DA this will count but if a rider rides with 2 Groups during the day only one ride in a day will count. Rides with any Group or Club not within the DA will not count. Taking part in part of a days ride will count. On days when there is a DA Event, taking part in a Groups ride to or from the DA Event will count but not just doing the Event and not otherwise taking part in a Club Ride.
