EntryBoss Grading

Each rider's grade will be initially determined by reference to the Criterium Grades database as of 30 September 2021.

• Grading: Nominated riders will be graded (A,B,C,D,E). In cases where after Race 1 it appears that a rider has been under-graded (e.g. graded C instead of B), they will be regraded, and depending on the circumstance under which they were wrongly graded (e.g. misinformation, or out of date information), they may retain their points from Race 1. Similarly, if a rider has clearly been over-graded they may be graded down for Race 2 and 3.

The current 2019-20 Criterium Grades database can be viewed on the AMCC website (vlcc.org.au) Criterium Page. Your mark will be confirmed via the Startlist published after scratching close.
