Upgrading


  1. For purposes of upgrading, riders may present Alberta Cyclo-cross Cup points only from placings among the top-six riders.
  2. Riders will be upgraded by either earning 15 points or 2 wins.
  3. Point allotment will be dependent up on number of racers in a category.


    Cross Points Table

    0-4 racers – Winner Only – 1 point

    5-15 racers – top 3 – points = 3, 2, 1

    16-24 racers – top 4 – points = 4, 3, 2, 1

    25-40 racers – top 5 – points = 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

    40+ racers – top 6 – points = 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1


Master Riders

Master riders retain the option of declining an upgrade provided they have not earned such upgrade over the course of one season. Upgraded Master riders aged 40 or greater may revert to their previous category the following season.



Youth and Junior Women

Junior-aged riders and those younger may not be upgraded to the Open Women category based on points. Rather, such athletes will be upgraded at the discretion of the Racing Committee.


Youth and Junior men

Junior-aged riders and those younger may upgrade to Expert Men based on points earned or wins. Youth riders will not, however, be upgraded to the Open category based on points. Rather, such athletes will be upgraded at the discretion of the Racing Committee.


Non-Transferability of Upgrades

Once a rider has begun racing in a Cyclo-cross category, they may only upgrade based on Cyclo-cross results regardless of upgrades in Road or MTB categories.


Out of Province Points

Riders may submit, for upgrading purposes, no more than two results from out-of- province races provided such races are sanctioned at a Provincial Cup level. Points will be awarded as per ABA Points Schedule.
