New VTTA Yorkshire Points Competition on AATs for 2025

In Yorkshire we already have the YCF Points Competition. This gains good support and many VTTA Yorkshire riders qualify. However, since points are awarded on the basis of actual speed then the younger and/or faster riders will rise to the top. We have now created a similar competition, to run in parallel with the YCF Competition but based on age adjusted speed, thus giving our older members more opportunity. It may further encourage some of the many non-member vets in our area to join VTTA. Conversely it may also bring more attention to the YCF Competition and encourage more clubs to join their county association. So it’s a win win.

The VTTA website shows results in AAT/D order so can be used for calculating points. For 2025 onwards it should also show the rider's VTTA group and type of machine ridden.  Not all CTT events appear on the VTTA website, but any nominated by VTTA groups are flagged up to do so. The Points competition will be:
1. Open to all VTTA Yorkshire members (at the time of the event), but they must have linked their VTTA and CTT accounts.
2. Judged on positions on age adjusted times/distances for solo riders only (not team time trials, nor tandems).  
3. The competition is determined by the total of the best 6 points scoring rides from the listed qualifying events.
4. The best qualifying rider on AAT/D in each event will be awarded 60 points, next best 59, then 58... Maximum points are 360.
5. Where a club runs multiple events on the same day and course and as part of an overall promotion the results will be consolidated into a single list for the purposes of allocating points.
6. Riders completing all qualifying rides on a CTT compliant road bike will be eligible for a road bike category award. All other riders (those on TT bikes, tricycles, non-compliant road bikes or a mix of machines) will be eligible only for the overall category award.

Qualifying Events for 2025 will include all VTTA Yorkshire events and all YCF Points Competition events, except the Cragg Vale Hill Climb.
