PBMXC SANCTIONED BMX EVENTS

 

  1. Philippine BMX Commission (PBMXC) will, under appropriate circumstances, extend its sanction to certain events conducted by its member organizations. In general, these events will be limited to National BMX Championship/Challenge events, regional and local competitions. Member organizations wishing to conduct a PBMXC sanctioned BMX event must apply to PBMXC for this sanction, meeting such deadlines, paying such fees, filing such reports and complying with such other requirements as the Philippine BMX Commission may establish from time to time, articles of incorporation, race rule book and membership statistics.

  2. Every member organization hosting a PBMXC sanctioned BMX event shall:

    1. Conduct the event in strict accordance with the rules set forth herein.

    2. Submit an application to PBMXC for the sanctioning of a National BMX Championship/ Challenge event.

    3. Members wishing to apply for a sanction date after the closing date, may do so only through the Philippine BMX Commission on payment of the prescribed fee and under the following conditions:

      1. The member can only apply for those dates that are vacant on the National BMX calendar and that are not conflicting with any national BMX race.

      2. The meeting must not disadvantage in any way PBMXC sanctioned BMX meetings that are scheduled immediately prior to or after the date(s) applied for.

      3. The member association will be responsible for all the publicity and promotion of the event. PBMXC will still publish all results when received.

    4. Submit to PBMXC office within 3 business days of the close of registration at the race a count of the registered entries and remit all levies applicable to PBMXC within 30 days of the close of entries.

      Levies are to be based on the number of actual entries at registration at the race, and apply only to classes in the PBMXC Rule Book. There will be no levies for special classes, like e.g. open classes.

    5. Arrange for all awards, cash prizes, trophies (including team trophies), which are earned by the participants.

    6. Allow PBMXC to display a number of 5 PBMXC banners on the infield of the race site. Each banner will be of the traditional 5 x 0.8 meters size. It is the organizer's responsibility to ensure that the banners are not stolen while at the race site. In case of robbery, the cost of the banners shall be reimbursed by the organizer to PBMXC.

    7. Submit to the PBMXC office within 14 days of the conclusion of that event, a race report containing at a minimum the following information:

      • A list of the competitors, identifying their home club and the classes in which they competed;

      • A schedule of races and a list of results;

      • A roster of participating commissaires and officials.

  3. Sanctioning by PBMXC of a national BMX event ensures:

    1. That, as far as the PBMXC National BMX Championship/Challenge is concerned, no PBMXC member organization, other than the host organization, may conduct or permit to be conducted under its sanction a national BMX event which takes place on, or less than seven days prior to, the dates of the PBMXC National BMX Championship/Challenge event.

    2. That any member not following the instructions in C.1. will not be given a PBMXC sanctioned BMX meeting for 12 months from the date of the offense.

    3. That PBMXC will publicize the meeting per medium of the national calendar and that of the Philippine BMX Commission.

  4. Riders wishing to compete in a PBMXC sanctioned BMX event must be pre-registered through the host organization. In addition, pre-registration is subject to the following conditions:

    1. The deadline of the close of pre-registration must be 15 days before the day on which the competition begins, as far as a BMX National event, or regular local BMX competition is concerned.

    2. Any pre-entry received after the deadline of the close of pre-registration will be penalized with a doubling of the applicable entry fee. The additional penalty fee goes to the host organization. For the National BMX Championship/Challenge no late entries will be accepted.
