75% / 50% Rule

The 2009 Scott Australian 24Hr MTB Championships plus any qualifying events which are recognised National Solo 24Hr Championships will use the 75% / 50% rule based on the number of laps completed by the overall Male and Female winners, for example:

• Riders completing 75% or greater of the winner's laps for their gender will qualify for the Elite Worlds and
  the Age Group Worlds categories.
• Riders completing from 50% to less than 75% of the winner's laps for their gender will only qualify for the
  Age Group Worlds categories.
• If they have not already qualified above, the first 5 male and first 3 female single speed riders will qualify
  for the World single speed categories.
• If they have not already qualified above, age group winners in the standard 24Hrs of Adrenalin World Solo
  24Hr MTB Championships 5-year age groups will also qualify as age group riders.
• Some qualification races have rules, which require the rider to ride for a certain minimum time, or they will
  receive a DNF result. These DNF riders may still qualify from that race as long as they have met the
  percentage laps completed requirements.

Proportional

Other events will have qualifying rider allocations based on the number of Solo entrants. These allocations will go to the highest placed riders in these events, overall and by category:

• Events which have been staged previously will initially be allocated minimum qualification numbers of 40% of the Male and Female solo fields from the last time their event was held, or 10 Male and 5 Female, whichever is the higher number. This number may be increased and updated based on increased entries for the qualifying race as registrations come in.
• Events which have not been staged previously will initially be allocated 10 Male and 5 Female qualifying places. This number may be increased and updated as registrations come in, up to 40% of the male and female solo fields, plus 40% of any solo sub-categories.

Qualification by Individual Application

A rider may apply to twenty4sports for special consideration to be allowed to enter the World Solo 24Hr Championships. An example might be a rider who has only ever raced in a pair, or a rider from another endurance sport. These riders will be assessed by twenty4sports and, if successful, go
into a pool. A rider who goes into this pool allocation may still miss out on an entry, as the pool allocation is normally only used when other qualification places have been taken up.
