Masters and B Grade Tempo Races

For those unfamiliar with this style of track race, the key features are :

  • There will a small number of "non-scoring laps" at the start to warm up
  • A whistle will be sounded.
  • Thereafter, the first rider to cross the finish line on each and every lap will be awarded 1 point.
  • The rider with the most points at the end wins.
  • A bell will be sounded for the final lap.
  • If riders end up equal on points, the final sprint positions will determine placings.
  • We'll have a whiteboard with progressive scores at the finish line - Make sure you remember your own race number to check your points.

Combined C & D Grade crit

Due to predicted numbers and the additional racing we are combining the C and D grade fields this week. C grade riders please be aware of new or inexperienced riders and give them the required space and respect.

First time racing Muzz?

If you HAVE NEVER raced with us, BEFORE you enter - you must :

All this needs to be done by Friday at 1pm or you may have to wait an additional week. Our Handicapper will respond via email and may ask for additional information.

Once you've had confirmation of your grading then register for the grade that's been approved by the Balmoral Handicapper, (unless you are riding MASTERS)


Grading for Senior Racing at Muzz

Balmoral CC has a strict approach to grading/handicapping. Apart from our "Masters" race , you can only race the grade that you have received from our Handicapper. Don't ask for another grade when registering. We have a single volunteer who is responsible for grading all adults.

If you think your grade is no longer appropriate, you can request a grading change via this form . Grading change requests must have a good performance justification.

Requests need to be submitted by 1pm Friday to have any chance of being actioned that week.

Our "Masters" race is open to any rider with an official Muzz A-C grade who has an AusCycling race category of MAS3 or more. Riders opt-in to race this category knowing that it will have a mixture of abilities and that there are very experienced A grade riders present each week.

EntryBoss grades are a duplicate of our official grading database. Changes in your default race grade are made the next time you register after our Handicapper has made a change. It's your responsibility to request the correct grade when registering.

Juniors attending Junior Development don't need to obtain a grading. Our Junior Development and Club Racing Policy (available on this page) contains additional detailed information about our junior program, including criteria for progression through junior and open graded racing at Muzz.
