RMCCC Specific Rules:

4.5.a The RMCCC shall host bi-annual meetings at the end of each season at conference finals. At this meeting schedules for the upcoming spring or fall seasons will be finalized and other necessary RMCCC business will be discussed. Teams may prepare motions to be voted on, and official votes will take place at the meeting only.

10.2.1a In the RMCCC, each team hosting a conference event shall contribute $200 to the conference fund. This fund will be used for conference business as determined at the bi-annual conference meeting.

10.2.2a RMCCC races allow an entry fee maximum of $20 per event, and a maximum of $50 for an event with three or more races. No races shall last past 1:00 p.m. on Sundays. No school day races are allowed.

10.2.7a Team Ranking and Scoring: All conference teams will be ranked within their Division based on results in conference events.

10.2.7b. In the RMCCC, there will be a gravity and endurance Conference Champion for the mountain season and a single Conference Champion for the road season. Conference championship standings will be determined by taking the rider’s best individual points from 75% of the all conference events in that discipline (gravity, endurance or road) including conference finals. All conference events count equally. (The actual percentage used may have to be adjusted based on the total number of events held – but it should as close to 75% as possible)

10.2.8a In the RMCCC, only 6 riders racing for a school in category A have the possibility of scoring points. These will be the first six riders crossing the line finishing the race for a school. Riders who are designated as non-scoring will not displace other scoring riders who place below them. Note: This rule still allows more than 6 riders to be entered for any school in Category A.

10.2.7c Conference champions shall be determined at least one week before the national competition so that any conflicts may be resolved. Conference champions shall be recognized at the national competitions.

10.2.11a In the RMCCC Team Time Trials, in the event that a team enters more than 3 non-composite teams in a single category, only the top three placing teams will score.

10.2.11b In the RMCCC, riders from different categories may race together on a composite Time Trial team. The team must race under the highest category of any of the riders and each school may have at most one male and one female composite team. At most one composite team is allowed per category.

10.14.a Once results have been posted on the Conference Website, there will be a one week protest period. Protest should address errors in posting, not actual race results which should be protested on race day. After this period, all results are final

10.2.1a In the RMCCC, Conference Championships will be held at least two weeks before the National Championships.

10.3.5a In the RMCCC, the team hosting conference finals shall provide prizes for all categories. The winner of these events is not the Conference Champion which is described in 10.2.7b.
