FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Q. "Do I need a NORBA / USA Cycling license?"

A. No. We're strictly non-NORBA. No racing license of any kind required.

Q. "How do it get into the series?"
A. Simply by entering any event in the series. Once you've had a result in any of the events, your name is automatically added to the points tally.

Q. "Where do I find the points standings?"
A. We keep the standings here on the Team Bigfoot Website.

Q. "Is there a minimum number of events that I have to do?"
A. No. The only event that you have to be at is the finals. Of course the more events you do the more opporunities you'll have to score points. But in some of the less populated categories we've had racers take the championship with as few as three races.

Q. "The points that I earned last weekend aren't up yet!"
A. We tally points as quickly as we can, but sometimes it can take a week or two. Please be patient.

Q." THERE'S A MISTAKE IN THE POINTS!"
A. Woops! With all the data it takes to tally a series, mistakes happen. Please contact us ASAP, vic@teambigfoot.net. No changes or corrections will be made after October 10. Explain exactly what the mistake is and we'll reply and get it fixed promptly.

Q. "They made a mistake with the results on race day."
A. Team Bigfoot's policy is the same as it is with most other race promoters; We post results on race day then provide a 15-minute protest period. It is a rider's responsibility to check those results and let the officials know right then and there...not during awards, not a week later, but there, that day during the protest period. Once the protest period is over the results are declared official and no further changes will be made.

Q. "Why do I have to BUY my championship jersey?"
A. We're a very small, grass-roots organization. We wish that we had a sponsor willing to fork out a few thousand dollars so that every category champion get a free jersey, but so far that hasn't happened. Until then we'll continue to provide jerseys to our eligible champions for just a few bucks over our cost.

Q. "I didn't get my jersey last season. Can I still get one?"
A. Absolutely! We have 'em. The short-sleeve XC jerseys are $60 + $10 for mailing. Long-sleeve DH jerseys are $40 +$10 for shipping. E-mail us for ordering instructions, vic@teambigfoot.net.
