The Alberta BMX Executive and Alberta Bicycling Association committee met in Airdrie and hammered out some changes for the upcoming 2009 Provincial and District season. The highlights include:

• Shorts with knee and shin protection (as per UCI rule 6.1.057) are now allowed.
• 9 and under and 10-12 cruiser classes have been added
• The provincial points table and series points calculation method when classes are combined has been modified. See the POINTS TABLE page for the changes
• The Provincial team has been expanded into 2 tiers with selections starting at age 9. More details and selections for 2009 to follow
• The rain-out policy has been amended to allow new registrations at any make-up race instead of limiting registrations only to those that registered for the original rained out race
• There will be a new start gate policy implemented in 2009. It does NOT require that everyone gets a new gate, the new standard will have a minimum cost impact to the clubs. More details will follow

These points will be expanded upon as more details become available.
