Trailblazers Second Round – Qualification Information

The following outlines how qualification for the Trailblazers Championships works at this event:

Qualification to Championships

  • At the Second Round, the top 8 Senior and top 8 Junior riders in each class will qualify for the Trailblazers Championships.

  • Qualification is based on placing only, regardless of whether the rider originally intended to qualify.

Standard Qualification Process

  • Riders should have:

    • Submitted their First Round qualification card

    • Received their Second Round qualification form

    • Brought this form with them to the event

  • If the form is presented on the day:

    • The organiser will confirm qualification, including placing and percentage

    • The rider must then email a copy of the completed form to Trailblazers

If the Rider Does Not Have Their Second Round Form

  • Riders may still qualify by finishing in the top 8

  • They must then contact Trailblazers directly, providing evidence of their result

  • Official results from the event will be used to verify qualification

If the Rider Has Not Submitted Their First Round Card

  • Riders may still compete in the Second Round

  • If they qualify:

    • The organiser will sign the back of the First Round card, including placing and percentage

    • The rider is responsible for sending the card to Trailblazers

Qualifying First and Second Round on the Same Day

  • Where two classes at the same level are scheduled:

    • The first class acts as the First Round qualifier

    • The second class is the Second Round

  • Riders who:

    • Achieve 58% or higher in the First Round class, and

    • Purchase a qualification card

  • may then compete in the Second Round class on the same day

  • If they place in the top 8, they will qualify for the Championships

Results

  • Event organisers will retain and share results with Trailblazers

  • Riders remain responsible for ensuring all relevant forms and cards are submitted
