ADDITIONALLY
• The National BMX Commission Committee will advise if they deem the standard of riding in each class/category to be high enough to warrant the awarding of colours.
• Also note that these selections are defined and determined by the BMX Commission of South Africa
• For Western Cape Superclass and Western Cape Cruiser classes your final position will be determined by the class you ride in at NAGs.
• If a class is merged and remains combined for 50% of the year, riders will be awarded based on the above criteria in the merged class. However, if a class is merged for only a few races and not the entire year, riders will be evaluated based on the class they entered.
Please ensure that you meet all the requirements and criteria to be considered for the Western Cape BMX Colours. The final decision rests with the Western Cape BMX and Cycling commission.
