3D Format                                            [back to top]

3D means there are 3 divisions in the class. This is a fair way to allow competitors of all skill levels to compete together and have a chance to take home some of the prize money. The first division winner is the rider that posts the fastest time of the class. The second division winner is the posted time that's 1 second back from the 1st division winner. Likewise the third division winner is 2 full seconds back from the first division winning time. There are usually 3 placings within each division. If there is a large number of entries, a 4D format will be used. The 4D format is very similar to the 3D format except it includes one more division . In the 4D format, the second division winner is a half second back from the fastest first division time, the third division winner is a full second back from the fastest first division time and the fourth division winner is two seconds back from the fastest first division time.
