NightShift

INFO TO BE FINALISED

NCC is excited to partner with Black Sheep and Focus to deliver Night Shift.

Nightshift has been designed to bring out the very best of Running and Cycling. With events tailored to challenge athletes of every age and capability, Nightshift promises exhilarating competition and unforgettable moments for both participants and spectators. Brought to you by Focus & Black Sheep.

In addition to over the $2000 prize money + prizing provided by BlackSheep, one lucky rider will be the winner of a Focus Izalco Max Frameset. To be eligible you need to start your race, and be at presentations for the last event of the evening! The frame will be randomly drawn based off race number, and riders will have 60 seconds once their name is drawn to present, otherwise the frame will be redrawn.

NCC is proud to offer both Prizes and Prize money at tonight's racing, thanks to our major sponsor Focus Bikes!

To assist our Line Judges, can all riders please claim places following each race.


Numbering and transponders - I don't know how it works!!

Blacksheep are providing special race numbers for the evening, so you can leave your regular numbers at home! If you have a transponder (NCC, Super Series, AHCC) then please make sure you bring this with you. All other riders will be provided with a transponder on the night.

Grading

Grading is at the discretion of the handicapper, and not at the whim of the rider. Riders who request grade changes through EB without having their preference ok'd by the handicapper will be placed into their existing grade. Handicapping takes in more than rider fitness, but considers skill, ability to contribute positively to the race and appropriateness. The best way to move up a grade is to win. If you can't win your current grade, you probably aren't ready to move up.

Please check what grade you have been placed in by the handicapper via the "View startlist" button prior to the event starting. The handicapper reserves the right to handicap riders as they see fit. It is the responsibility of the rider to review the published start list. Please enter relevant information for the handicapper when you nominate. The earlier you nominate, the earlier you get handicapped. Changing of grades on the day is not permitted. Only the Handicapper or the Chief Commissaire may regrade a rider on the day.
Please do not request grade changes to our volunteers on the Sign-on desk

You can contact the NCC Handicapper Peter Varricchio on 0411 118 262. Please be courteous and understanding. Any inappropriate behaviour will result in sanctions and removal from the event.


New Riders

As this is a marquee event, full race licence is required to participate, and not aimed at first time racers.

Grade Caps

NCC enforces strict grade caps at our crits in the interest of rider safety. Our TDU Criteriums have traditionally sold out incredibly early, so we encourage everyone to enter early to ensure that you don't miss out. You can scratch with full refund up to nomination closing time.

If you receive one of the five waitlisted places - this means you are first in line if anyone scratches. We will move these riders up if we can, but it is unlikely that you will get to race.

If you get Waitlisted (Doubtful) it is very unlikely that you'll get to race.

Please don't:
-Ask to race with another grade;
-Turn up on the night hoping someone doesn't show;
-Ask to be given special consideration to race.

NCC is a volunteer run club and we hate having to say no to people! We want everyone to be able to race, but it just not possible sometimes.
