Reglementering(in het Engels) voor de Beneluxcup 2015

We ontvingen van de KBWB de reglementering in het Engels voor de Beneluxcup 2015. We publiceren deze integraal.

Belangrijke punten voor de renners en de clubs:

-inschrijving voor deelname aan 1° wedstrijd in Nieuwkuijk moet zo snel mogelijk gebeuren via de website van de organisator
-categorie master 3 (+50) toegevoegd
-interclub ranking: clubs worden verzocht zo snel als mogelijk in te schrijven middels bijgevoegd formulier
-Startvolgorde voor het BK XCO zal bepaald worden door het klassement Benelux Cup 2015
-Belgische renners hebben geen toelating nodig voor deelname aan een buitenlandse wedstrijd voor de wedstrijden van de Benelux Cup in Nederland en Luxemburg.
Dit is uitsluitend van toepassing voor de categorieën die zijn opgenomen in het reglement van de Benelux Cup. Met andere woorden: voor de Kids onder 15 jaar is er wel een toelating nodig!
Nieuwelingen, junioren en Kids moeten uiteraard hun sportpas laten invullen (of zelf invullen).
