Race Format
UCI BMX World Championships
9.2.047ter
Seeding order for the 3 Motos in the BMX race is based on the latest UCI Individual BMX
Ranking for each category (seeding order from highest to lowest ranked). Gate position
selection order for the Motos is as per Annex 2 of Part VI: BMX.
The composition of the Motos for each category, as well as the transfer system for all
Phases of the event is determined as per Annex 1 of Part VI: BMX. All riders entered in each
category must participate in the Motos in order to be eligible to transfer to the Qualifiers.
NOTE: The UCI reserves the right to amend the Championships race format should
unforeseen circumstances require it (example: adverse weather conditions). Should this
happen, an official communique describing any changes will be sent to all team managers.
6.1.002 For participation in BMX events registered on the UCI International BMX Calendar, Riders’
categories are determined by the age of those competing as defined by the difference
between the year of the event and the year of birth of the rider. Riders’ categories vary
depending on the bicycle types defined in article 6.1.003, levels of categories as defined in
article 6.1.004 as well as competition specialties as defined in article 6.1.007.
As concerns the minimum age described above, the categories held during the UCI BMX
World Challenge are defined in article 6.4.005bis. Otherwise, the categories defined in
articles 6.1.009 to 6.1.011 apply.
5
NOTE: Article 6.1.002 is abridged from the full rule in the UCI Regulations.
Category Combination Rules
6.1.012 (N) In order for a category to be held, at least five riders must be registered and confirmed
in that category following rider’s confirmation.
If less than five riders are entered in a category following riders’ confirmation, they will be
combined with an older category. However, categories with a maximum age of more than
34 shall be combined with the next younger category.
Categories for Standard 20-inch bicycles cannot be combined with Categories for Cruiser
24-inch categories, and vice versa.
In the case that any under-subscribed category cannot be combined according to these
rules, this category shall not be run.
If the adequate numbers of five riders are registered and confirmed during the rider’s
confirmation, the category will be run even if less riders show up at the start, regardless of
the reason, including injury or illness.
Combination of Categories and Results
6.1.014 (N) In any case where two or more categories are combined, the results of the combined
categories must be split back into the original, separate categories based on the results
summary for the combined categories.
The UCI will only award points in the UCI BMX ranking based upon the separated results.
Also, the riders are awarded the prize money that corresponds with their place in the
separated results.
6.1.015 Except as provided by the combination rules in articles 6.1.012 and 6.1.013, no rider is
permitted to compete outside of his age or gender group during UCI registered events.
Final Classification
6.1.041 The Final Classification of the BMX event for each category (or combined category) is
determined by:
a. The Phase reached (Final, Qualifiers, or Motos or, in the specific case of a UCI BMX
Supercross World Cup with 17 or more entries in the category in question, Round 1 or
Last Chance, whichever the case may be).
b. If the Phase reached is the Final or the Qualifiers, the rank from the last completed
Round within that Phase.
c. If the Phase reached is the Motos, the total points from this Phase. In case the Motos
are not completed, then the total points from all Rounds of the Motos that were
completed. In the case of a UCI BMX Supercross World Cup event, for each category
with at least 17 entries, in case the Last Chance phase is not completed, then those in
the Last Chance Phase must be ranked below those who advanced directly to the First
Round of the Qualifiers.
6
d. In the case of a UCI BMX Supercross World Cup with 17 or more entries in the category
in question:
i. If the Phase reached is Round 1, then the finish position from Round 1
ii. If the Phase reached is Last Chance, then the riders advancing directly to the
Qualifiers from Round 1 will be ranked above the riders participating in Last
Chance, with the Last Chance riders ranked according to finish position in Last
Chance
e. The time in the last heat completed, in case of ties the time from the previous heat is
considered.
When the tie cannot be broken by time, then the tie-breaker in article 6.1.041ter shall
apply
6.1.041bis
(N) In case of a combination of categories, the Final Classification for the combined
category is split in accordance with article 6.1.014. A Final Classification for each individual
category is then prepared.
Ties
6.1.041ter
This tie-breaking method is used in the following cases:
a. In case more than 1 rider in a heat is scored with the same IRM as described in articles
6.1.034 and 6.1.035;
b. In case a tie occurs in any particular heat where a clear decision cannot be determined
from the applicable scoring system in the transferring positions in the Motos, or the
Qualifiers or in the case of a UCI BMX Supercross World Cup with at least 17 entries in
the category in question, Round 1 or Last Chance;
c. In case a tie occurs when determining the Final Classification, as described in article
6.1.041.
In all of the above cases, the tie will be broken by applying the following methods in the
order listed below until the tie is broken. In case a method is either not available or not
applicable to the situation, then the next highest priority tie-breaking method will be used.
a. Time in the previous heat
b. Position in the previous heat
c. If applicable to the situation, the rider’s best finish (time, or if not available, finish
position) in the preceding qualifiers preceding in descending order of Semi Final, Quarter
Final, Eighth Final, et cetera, until the Motos are reached
d. In descending order 3rd, 2nd, 1st round finish result in the Motos
e. BMX Time Trial results (if held)
f. For Championships categories, the UCI Individual BMX ranking, or for Challenge level
and Masters categories, the national ranking or series ranking used for seeding the
Motos, if any
g. In the case of breaking ties between riders scored with the same IRM, at random.
7
Otherwise, if the tie cannot be broken according to the above method, then the riders
concerned shall share the place in question, and the place(s) below would not be allocated.
For example: 2 riders tied for 5th place in the semi-finals would both receive 9th place in the
Final Classification; the next place awarded would be 11th place.
6.1.041 quarter
Should a situation arise in a heat in one of the three Rounds of Motos or non-transferring
positions of a heat in the Qualifiers or in the award positions in the Final where a clear
decision cannot be determined from the applicable scoring system, both riders will be
scored with the better ranked finishing position. For example: a protest between 5th place
and 6th place finishing position would in the case of a tied decision ultimately give both
riders 5th place finish in that particular heat; 6th place would not be allocated.
Award positions in the Final shall refer to the riders ranked 1st to 3rd for the Championships
and Masters categories and 1st to 8th for the Challenge categories.

Team Bibs – Championship Categories Only
One team bib is available for each national federation; it allows the wearer to access to the locations
described during the Championship Team Manager Meeting. A deposit of 100 Euros or 100 US dollars
against the return of the bib must be paid during rider confirmation; this will be returned following
the return of the bib after the event. One team bib will also be granted to each UCI BMX Team upon
request. National Teams with 4 or more riders entered in any category may request a second team
bib if enough remain once each National Team or UCI BMX Team has had an opportunity to request a
single bib; this will be done on a first come, first served basis.
When?
Team Bibs can be obtained during riders’ confirmation for the championship categories:
Friday 20 August 2021, from 10:30 to 12:30
7. RACE EQUIPMENT AND CLOTHING
6.1.079 Crank arms may be of any length so long as they do not compromise the bicycle's
ground clearance.
The bottom bracket bearings must be adjusted so as to allow the cranks to spin smoothly
and without noticeable play.
Pedals must be securely attached to the crank arms. Toe clips and straps are not permitted.
Interlocking pedal-cleat systems are allowed for all riders age 13 and older. For avoidance
of doubt, riders aged 12 and under must use flat pedals with no interlocking pedal-cleat
system.
Multiple speed gear systems are permitted.
6.1.081 Helmets must be of full face construction and must be equipped with a visor that has
a minimum length of 10 cm. Open face helmets are not allowed. In accordance with
article 1.3.002, neither the helmet nor its visor may be modified.
Helmets must be worn with the straps securely fastened whenever a rider is practicing or
racing or is otherwise within the track boundaries.
When racing, from the start of a heat or run until the point in time when a rider completes
the heat or run by crossing the finish line, if a rider’s helmet is removed for any reason, that
rider shall be considered as having abandoned the heat or run in question and will be
scored as Did Not Finish (DNF).
The UCI strongly recommends that riders wear the following protection:
• Back, elbow, knee and shoulder protectors made of rigid materials
• Protection of the cervical vertebrae.
176.1.087 Any added aerodynamic accessories on personal equipment are not permitted.
6.1.088 Cameras are not permitted during racing. Otherwise, the riders are responsible for
securing the fixation of the cameras in order to avoid any danger. The UCI can
decide to allow a camera during racing but only for the usage of the TV production
company. Metal / permanent fixtures to attach the cameras are not allowed, tape
and velcro are allowed.
Cameras (as described above) may only be used by riders in the Championship level
categories.
Note: The practical implementation of this rule means that on-board video cameras will only
be accepted if they are attached to the helmet visor or the bicycle (in a way that does not
present a safety risk). Cameras must not be directly attached to the helmet itself. Such
cameras can only be used once the waiver valid for the 2021 season has been signed by the
rider.
6.1.097 Each rider that has received a UCI International Elite Number, and also the riders that
choose to ride with a world number 1 - 8, may choose to print their number on the jersey
according to the following principles. Doing so is not mandatory.
a. The colour of the number must be in strong contrast with the colour of the
background.
b. The distance between the numbers must be 1.5 cm
c. The minimum height of the number must be 20 centimetres
d. The width of the numbers shall be;
i. minimum 10 cm for one-digit numbers
ii. minimum 20 cm for two-digit numbers
iii. minimum 25 cm for three-digit numbers
e. There should be a minimum of 5 cm of free space without publicity around the
number.
f. As an option, display their last name across the shoulders, above the number.
Only Elite riders who received an International Elite Number through the UCI or Elite riders
with a world number 1 - 8, may print an International Elite Number or world number 1 - 8
on the back of the jersey if they choose. No other riders are allowed to print a number on
the back of their jersey. However, for avoidance of doubt, all riders are allowed to print
their surname across the back of their jersey.
188. NUMBER PLATES
6.1.091 Each bicycle entered into the competition must have a number plate attached to the front of
the handlebars.
This number plate will be provided by the UCI. Riders must use the received number plate
and number colour combinations specified for the category in which they are racing as
follows:
a. Championship level
i. Elite Men, Elite Women: white plate, black numbers;
ii. Men Juniors, Women Juniors: black plate, white numbers.
During the 2021 UCI BMX World Championships all riders must display a lateral number
plate/sticker located just behind the steer tube. The UCI and the organiser will provide a
lateral plate for the 2021 UCI BMX World Championships.
6.1.093 In all UCI sanctioned BMX events a rider must display the number assigned to him in
accordance with all relevant provisions of these regulations, including those concerning the
International Permanent Race Number System, if applicable. A rider who fails to display the
correct number will be refused their start, or relegated, if it is noticed after beginning a heat
or run.
Comment: In practice, this means that a rider without the correct number may either be
refused their start and scored as DNS, or scored as REL, depending upon when the error is
noticed.
The area of the plate that provides a background for the number must, during the entire
duration of a competition, be kept free of markings, stickers or other impediments to the
number's legibility. Riders may not cut, mutilate or put additional stickers or marking on their
number plate during the 2021 UCI BMX World Championships.
Handlebar number plates and side plates must be on every bicycle before practice
199. TEAM AREA
Team area
Each country will have a dedicated team area; 4 Chairs and 1 table are provided for every 20 entries.
Due to the limited space in the team area, only riders who have a competition or practice that day
will be allowed to enter the team area with their bike. Please make your riders aware of this. Also,
countries with smaller numbers of entries may be grouped together.

the UCI Technical Delegate’s judgment, until the level of available daylight is no longer
acceptable, the UCI may decide to stop the event for the concerned categories. In this case,
the results will be decided in accordance with article 6.1.041 for each category, based upon
