Points accrued by full (1st claim) club members count towards a Scratch & Handicap points championship. Riders need only complete 10 events to be eligible for either championship as only the best 10 scores are counted towards the final total of points. 2nd claim Southborough members and members from other CTT affiliated clubs may ride these events, but they will not be eligible for championship points.

The scratch competition is based on fastest actual times, whilst the handicap competition is judged on actual times minus a handicap time given to each rider for each TT by the time keeper – based on each riders previous results.

The road bike competition uses riders Scratch times and placings. To be counted in the road bike competition you must simply be using equipment that you'd be allowed to enter a BC road race on, i.e. no clip-on aerobars or disc wheels, but skinsuits and covered road helmets are fine. See more detailed info here.
