A rider must be at least 5 years of age to compete in a UCI sanctioned BMX event. The minimum age of 5 refers to the real calendar age on the day of race commencement.

rules, no rider is permitted to compete outside of his age or gender group during UCI registered races. 6.1.013

Riders registered to compete in an event will be classified according to their age, gender, bicycle style and competition level. Two specialties are recognized: BMX race and BMX time trial. Two styles of bicycles are recognized in BMX race: standard 20 inch and cruiser 24 inch, as described in article 6.1.064. BMX time trial can only be ridden on a standard 20 inch bike.

6.1.014

A BMX race is composed of 3 phases, the motos, the qualifiers (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 finals depending on the number of participants) and the final.The motos are subdivided in 3 rounds, at the end of which the riders with the best overall result shall transfer to the qualifiers. The qualifiers are the elimination phase of the race. It is subdivided in several stages, which are distinguished from each other by their degree of removal from the final (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 finals depending on the number of participants). The last phase is the final. If less than 9 riders constitute a category, there will be a three motos system where the aggregate score at the end of the three motos determines the final result. At the end of a BMX race competition, a final classification is made that defines the final results and that is used to attribute UCI ranking points and prize money. Final classification The final classification (results summary) of the competition is determined by: 1. The phase reached (Final, ½ final, ¼ final, 1/8 final, 1/16 final, 1/32 final, motos); 2. The rank from this phase; 3. The total points from this phase; 4. The time in the last run, in case of ties the time from the previous run is considered. When the tie cannot be broken by time, the riders will share the same rank. A BMX time trial event is composed of 2 phases, the time trial qualification and the time trial super finals. Every phase is composed of one run. The time trial super finals are the final phase and define the time trial results.

6.1.015

No rider will be permitted on the track until he has been officially registered and confirmed for the event as a licensed rider. At least one official practice session must precede the racing at any event. Separate practice times shall be allocated to each category or other designated group.

6.1.016

The schedule of races shall be established according to the procedures set forth in appendix 1 of the BMX rulebook

6.1.021

The gate starting positions for motos shall be determined according to appendix 2 of the BMX rulebook and shall be indicated on the start lists. The gate starting positions during the qualifiers (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, ¼ and 1/2 finals depend on the number of participants) and the final shall be determined by: A. By seeding determined by lap time from the previous round (fastest rider has the first choice on the gate) For championships categories. B.
