Moto Building

Alberta BMX uses the BEM moto building program. This program is used for most UCI sanctioned events through out the world. Each country has moto building rules tailored to their own unique requirements. Based on the moto building and class structure straight from the UCI rulebook the following modifications have been made:

• When more than 1 moto is required for a class (i.e. more than 8 riders) the motos are mixed. This means riders are randomly allocated to each of the 3 qualifying motos and do not have to race the same riders all 3 times. The BEM program uses a randomizing formula to create the motos
• When there are more than 8 riders in a class and quarters, semis or mains are required, lane choice will be given to the riders based on their moto finishes. The lowest overall score in the motos gets first choice in the next round. In the case of a tie, selection preference is given by finishing place in the previous stage with count-back to separate ties. If there is still a tie after that a run-off moto is completed between the tied riders
