January 22, 200620 yr Midlands Centre Group Trials are designed to be a team competition between clubs in the centre. The top five riders from each club (if there are five) score points towards the result on the day. A couple of years ago entry numbers were dropping. This was due to the expert riders finding it too easy and the rest finding it too hard, so the series was changed to include two routes. The championship scoring now takes the best three riders from each club on the A route and the best two from each club on the B route. The scores are added together and the club who scores the most points wins the event. This is not as complicated in reality as I have made it sound. Having two routes has rejuvinated Group trials in the Midlands. It is a rare occasion when you ride with other members from your club and really help each other to loose less marks. I hope this helps explain how the series works. Regards Pete
