3. Rider heats and competitions will be published and announced. Riders may not delay competition (not reporting as scheduled or taking too much time to get ready). If you plan to scratch from an event you have entered, you must do so prior to the start of the session.
4. For those events where seeding is based on a timed qualification, riders withdrawing after qualifications and before the first heats are established will be replaced by the next fastest rider. Riders withdrawing from competition after the composition of the first heats (time qualification) will be fined $50.
5. Bicycles of all riders must be checked prior to taking the track for their event(s). Riders will be required to present their bicycle before each competition/heat. Please ensure that you present your bicycle to the equipment check area with adequate time prior to your start. Riders are reminded that the minimum permissible weight for a bicycle is 6.8 kg. The front of traditional handle bars may not extend more than 5 cm in beyond the front axle (UCI reg. 1.3.022).
6. In accordance with international competition, riders will receive only one warning before being disqualified. This warning and disqualification is relative to one specific competition only. Depending on the gravity of the fault, a rider may be disqualified without warning. A relegation also carries the weight of a warning.
7. Riders may have only one coach on the track apron during any event. In mass start events, coaches must stay off the apron and inside the fence along with all equipment.
8. Onsite registration with USA Cycling must be completed by noon the day before the event in which the rider is entering.
