SERIES TEAMS vs. EVENT TEAMS

Series Teams

Series Teams are made up of up to 20 riders from the same or different VRS categories. The minimum number of riders is three (3), the maximum number is twenty (20).

Any rider that is registered with a 2022 Victorian Series Team can score points towards the 2022 VRS Teams Competition at any VRS round if:

• They are part of the Event’s Team in their respective category or if
• They are riding as an individual and their team has not entered an Event’s Team*

*If a team enters an Event Team (3-5 riders) at an event, additional individual riders of that same team cannot score points towards the 2022 VRS Teams Competition.

Series points scored by riders that are racing as a member of the team (max. 5) at an event will count toward the overall 2022 VRS Teams Competition.

Event Teams (3-5 riders)

Event teams are made up of registered riders of the same team and the same VRS category. The minimum number of riders is three (3), the maximum number is five (5). Teams can change their Event Team roster from event to event.

Any team entering 3 or more riders of the same VRS category at an event must nominate their Event Team roster by using the team entry link of the respective event (this can be done by entering the whole team at once or by riders entering and paying individually). All members of an Event Team must wear their registered team jersey.

Teams entering more than 5 riders of the same VRS category at an event, must enter the additional riders that are not part of the Event Team roster as individuals using the individual entry link of the respective event.

Additional riders can wear the same or different apparel as the Event Team riders and MUST NOT collude with the Event Team. Teams breaching this rule may be fined or disqualified of the event.
Riders that are part of the Event Team: * Compete for the team’s classification in their VRS category at the event. The team’s classification at all events is based on UCI rule 2.3.044. * Can score points towards the 2022 VRS Teams Competition

• The teams must have different names such as ‘Team X white’ and ‘Team X black’.

Additional Team Regulations

• Series Teams can have up to 15 riders compete in the event in the same VRS category. Riders that are not part of the Event Team will be riding as individuals and MUST NOT collude with the team during the race. Teams who breach this rule may be fined or disqualified from the event.
  
• Additional Series Team riders racing as individuals cannot score points toward the 2022 VRS Teams Competition.
  
• Riders can only be registered for one (1) team at any time.
  
• Registered Series Team riders may transfer to a different Series Team during the season at any time. A rider who has transferred must not return to his original team or transfer to another team for the remainder of the year. Points that have been scored for the old Series Team will not be carried over to the new team.
