Results are the responsibility of the Chief Judge of the race. The results are deemed final within 15 minutes of when they are posted at an event. If you feel that they are in error you must notify the CJ within that time period. It is standard procedure for the CJ to only pick the top 15 of a group at the finish. The exceptions to this are that in a stage race all the participants are timed and picked. For an Oregon Cup race we pick the top 20. More manpower is needed to pick a full field of 30+ riders. When you see a suspected error, a rider would need to report that to the judge along with any other helpful information (like the names or numbers of other riders in the group) The judge is not highly paid and should be treated with respect. We really do appreciate it when a rider comes back up to the finish and makes comments such as "Just checking to see that you got me, I think I was 7th" Sometimes the riders should wait a few minutes but still stopping by is very much appreciated. Please remember that in a road race it is unacceptable to ride with any rider who is not in your group. So if a women finishes within a pack of male riders that is not considered fair. |
