In the Individual Grand Prix athletes will compete in the Open and Masters divisions. In the Masters division age-graded performance scoring will be utilized at each championship race so that athletes from 40 yrs. to 100 yrs. will be competing against each other for the masters grand prix points
In the Club Grand Prix the club’s five best age graded performance scores at each championship will be used to determine the club grand prix points.
