Athlete & Team Standings
Points & Ranking System
The BBCh ranking system recognizes the most dominant riders and teams based on cumulative points across races. The system applies to both the Top Athletes and Team Championship standings on our homepage.
- Points are awarded to the top 15 finishers in every category of every race.
- The points scale is strictly descending: 25 points for a win (1st place), 20 for 2nd, 16 for 3rd, 13 for 4th, 11 for 5th, 10 for 6th, and so on, down to 1 point for 15th place.
- For athletes, we calculate both This season rankings (points accumulated in the current year) and All-time rankings (cumulative points across every season on record from 2015 to present).
- For teams, cumulative team points are calculated across every season on record. Riders with no team on record ("Independent") do not score for any team.
Race Day Rules
How to attach your bib
Proper bib placement is crucial for our race timing systems and photographers to accurately identify you during the race. Please ensure your bib is securely attached flat across the front of your handlebars using zip ties, fully visible from the front as shown below. Do not wrap the bib around tubes or place it sideways.

Legal agreement
Release and Waiver of Liability
Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity and Parental Consent Agreement (“Agreement”)
In consideration of being permitted to participate in any way in the Bangalore Bicycle Championship — organized by the BBCh Team / Bangalore Bikers Club Bicycling Activities (“Activity”) — I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin, agree to the following:
Acknowledge, agree, and represent that I understand the nature of bicycling activities and that I am qualified, in good health, and in proper physical condition to participate in such Activity. I further acknowledge that the Activity will be conducted over public roads and facilities open to the public during the Activity and upon which the hazards of travelling are to be expected. I further agree and warrant that if at any time I believe the conditions to be unsafe, I will immediately discontinue further participation in the activity.
Fully understand that: (a) bicycling activities involve risks and dangers of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death (“Risks”); (b) these Risks and dangers may be caused by my own actions or inactions, the actions or inactions of others participating in the Activity, the condition in which the Activity takes place, or the negligence of the “Releasees” named below; (c) there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time — and I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation in the Activity.
Hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue the organizing team or part thereof, BBCh Team / Bangalore Bikers Club, their respective administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, and employees, other participants, any sponsors, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises on which the Activity takes place (each considered one of the “Releasees” herein), from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the “Releasees” or otherwise, including negligent rescue operations. I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, I — or anyone on my behalf — makes a claim against any of the Releasees, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless each of the Releasees from any litigation expenses, attorney fees, loss, liability, damage, or cost which any may incur as a result of such claim.
I have read this agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and have signed it freely and without any inducement or assurance of any nature — and intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full force and effect.
