New in 2011 - Any ties in the Provincial series after the final will be broken by a count back of best finishes in the best 3 races = the final for the tied riders. For example, two riders are tied with 600 points after the Provincial Cup final. Using each riders best 3 finishes + the finals, rider A has two first place finishes and rider B has one first place finish. Rider A wins the tie-break. If neither rider has any first place finishes, then it is most second place finishes and so on.
New in 2011 - it takes 20 wins to move from Intermediate male to Expert male. this applies to all riders retro-actively
If a rider advances in ability during the year (e.g. Novice to Int or Int to Expert) their points to date are carried forward with them to the new class
If a rider moves to Junior or Elite during the year their points now carry forward to the new class
If there is a MAIN in any class ALL riders NOT transferring to the main will receive points corresponding to 9th or lower on the scale

---

In the case of combined classes (due to small numbers) the points structure will work as follows. This is the same for both combined ability and combined age:

The riders will receive points from the table corresponding to the class they are registered in. The combined rider(s) will take those points to their class as they WOULD HAVE PLACED for THEIR ability. The awards of the day are still awarded as placed for that race.
Examples:

1. There is only one 8 Novice Male so he moves to the 8 Intermediate Male class for that race and he takes second place. He receives a second place award for that race and FIRST place NOVICE points towards his class SERIES ranking (which would be 8 Novice Male in this example)
2. There is only one 7 Expert Female so she moves to the 8 Expert Female class for that race. She takes third place. She receives a third place award for that race and FIRST place Expert points towards her class series ranking (which would be 7 Expert Female in this example)
