2015 SCBF Categories, Classes & Points Explained

For 2015 we’re changing things up and we hope you like what we have planned. We created  a bunch of sub series for each stop. Each sub series has a list of competitions that riders can compete in. The total points from those competitions combined will determine the winner of the sub series. So the more competitions riders compete in better their chances for winning the sub series.
