SoCal’s 2nd Annual BMX Gold Coast Cup - 2011 Series Requirements, Scoring & Awards
Tuesday, June 22, 2010 at 11:37AM Requirements, Scheduling & Scoring

Although all GCC races are ABA single points/regular district points races, the GCC series will comprise five (5) GCC Single-Series-Points Races, one (1) GCC Double-Series-Points Race, and one (1) GCC Double-Series-Points Finale Race. In addition to Riders earning ABA single district points at all seven (7) GCC events in accordance with their finishes, each rider will earn special Gold Coast Cup points based upon their main event finishes.
