hoodie2 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Anyone know how the Scottish support championship scoring works this year. The regs say a maximum of 8 rounds with 7 results counting, but there's only 7 rounds on the calendar. Does that mean every round counts, or is another round likely to be added? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers It's exactly the same as the 2010 season, seven rounds of the Support Championship means all seven rounds are point scorers. The Bon Accord 1st round is a joint championship with the Premier series. Hope this clarifies matters Hoodie2. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 What's the difference in a support championship and a national ? Excuse my ignorance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 The Scottish ACU Scottish Championships are national status which means it allows riders from ACU; SACU and MCUI to compete, however championship points are awarded on a prescribed basis. A national trial unless accorded championship status does not bestow any championship points. SACU clubs also run national restricted trials usually for Pre65 and twinshock such as Perth, then there are closed to club events. The Premier Championship (adult licence holders) comprises 6 rounds with three classes, Premier; Sportsman & Clubman on three routes. Support Championships comprise 7 rounds with Youth A; B & C; Pre65/Twinshock & Over 40 championship classes. Hope this explains. For additional information go to the SACU website: (www.sacu.co.uk) look under trials information. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodie2 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thanks for the info John. I've hardly done any events for years and this year fancied trying to get organised to complete a whole series. Unfortunately when the dates came out I realised I'm in Spain when Craiglash is on, so I've fallen at the first hurdle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 How severe are the sections in the premier class, compared to say the expert A class in the British Championship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't necessarily follow that your immediate competitors will do all rounds. Other people are forced to go on holiday too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to say probably either the same or slightly less of a degree of difficulty, it really depends on the trial and who has laid it out. Put it this way the 2011 Expert A BC was Gary Macdonald who was also 2010 Scottish Premier Champion. Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
