Disqualifications / Did Not Finish
The competitor who is disqualified in, or who does not finish the first run of a heat will start the second run with a penalty time.
The competitor who is disqualified in, or does not finish the second run of a heat is eliminated.
If both competitors do not finish the second run, the result of the first run counts. If both were tied, disqualified or did not finish the first run, the competitor who biked the furthest distance in the second run will advance to the next round.
Causes for Disqualifications:
- False start
- Changing from one course to another
- Interfering with an opponent, accidentally or not
- Not passing through a gate correctly
- Jumping the timing laser / finish line
- Missing the start of a heat
Penalty Time (Max Differentials):
The penalty time (max differential) will be 1.5 seconds. In all cases, the maximum time difference for the first run of each pairing can never be higher than the penalty time. If both competitors are tied after the second run, the competitor who wins the second run advances to the next round. If both competitors are disqualified or did not finish in the second run, the competitor who biked the furthest distance before disqualification or did not finish advances. If both competitors are disqualified or did not finish at the same gate in the second run, then the competitor who won the first run will advance.
