Rules & Scoring

The Cupa Clujului MTB General Classification is determined by the cumulative points earned by a rider across all officially sanctioned races within the current season calendar.

• Eligibility: Riders must participate in at least 3 of the 5 scheduled events to be eligible for the final general classification standings.
• Categories: Points are awarded strictly within the rider's designated age/gender category. There is no overall cross-category ranking for the primary cup.
• Tie-Breakers: In the event of a points tie at the end of the season, the rider with the higher number of 1st place finishes will be ranked higher. If still tied, the result of the final race of the season will act as the ultimate tie-breaker.

• Equipment: Only standard mountain bikes (hardtail or full-suspension) are permitted. E-bikes are strictly prohibited in the main classification categories.
• Assistance: Outside technical assistance is only permitted in designated tech zones. Accepting mechanical help outside these zones results in immediate disqualification.
• Course Cutting: Deviating from the marked course to gain an advantage will result in a minimum 10-minute penalty, up to disqualification at the commissaire's discretion.
