2022 Race Descriptions
Elimination – The last rider across the finish line will be pulled every lap until one remains.
JB Tempo – Points are awarded every lap with 2 and 1 points going to the first and second riders across the line each lap. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins.
JB Keirin – A 4 lap race with 6-8 riders starting from a standing or rolling start. The riders draft behind a pacer for the first 2.5 laps with the motorcycle gradually accelerating up to 50 kph before it departs from the track. Once the motor pulls off, with 1.5 laps to go, it is an all-out sprint for the finish line.
International Omnium – Points are accumulated in the first 3 races (scratch, tempo, elimination) (1st – 15, 2nd – 14, 3rd – 13 , etc). Each point then won during the final event – the points race – is added to the riders point total.
Madison – The Madison is a high speed, two person relay. One partner from each team starts the race from the rail while the “resting” partner pedals slowly along the top of the track. Partners exchange positions by pulling even with each other and then relaying or “slinging” the incoming partner into the race. Madison races may be run as a scratch or points race.
Marymoor Crawl (The Original Longest Lap!) – This is a timed track stand (balancing) contest rolled into a chariot race. Riders may not cross the start line until an unknown bell is rung, indicating a 1 lap sprint.
Miss-n-Out – The last rider across the finish line will be pulled every lap until a predetermined number of riders (3 to 5) are left. The remaining riders are given a no pull lap and then the last lap is a sprint for the finish line with the first rider across the line winning.
MoneyBall – A Snowball race where instead of points there is money on the line. The winner of the race is whoever ends with the most money.
Point-a-Lap – Points are awarded every lap with 1 point going to the leader. Final sprint awards 3,2,1 points to the first 3 riders. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins.
Points Race – A bell rings with one lap to go before each sprint. Points are awarded to the top 4 riders across the line for each sprint (5,3,2,1), the last sprint has double points (10,6,4,2). Riders are awarded 20 points if they lap the field – or conversely have 20 points subtracted if they lose a lap to the main field. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins.
Scratch Race – A bell rings with one lap to go. First rider across the line wins.
Snowball – Points are awarded every lap to the leader. 1st lap = 1 point, 2nd lap = 2 points, 3rd lap = 3 points, etc. The rider with the most points at the end of the race wins.
Split Scratch – A points race with two sprints (5,3,2,1 both sprints).
Stayers’ Race (Derny) – Elite riders act as pacers for juniors in a novelty scratch race.
Super Sprint – A Miss-and-Out race down to 8 riders, at which time it turns into a 5 lap scratch.
Unknown Distance (Scratch) – As its name implies, the Unknown Distance is a “scratch race” run over an unknown distance. The bell means 1 to go.
Win-n-Out – 12 lap race (4×3) with the first sprint for 1st place(the winner gets to leave the race early). 2nd sprint for 2nd place, etc.
