1st Series=1st,6th 7th
2nd Series=2ND,5th,8th
3rdSeries=3rd,4th,9th
The first of each series will go on to compete in the final. The second of each series will be classified “in exequo” distributing the points between 4th, 5th and 6th place and likewise for the third place winners who will compete for 7th,8th and 9th place
4. In the Australian Style Elimination race, all skaters from every category will start off together.. Depending on the number of participants ,the last competitor to go through the finish line in each lap or every alternate lap will be eliminated until only two competitors, are left on the track, who will then compete against each other for the last 2 laps .
5. In the relay event (USA style) for the junior category, each club may submit as many teams as they want, as long as they can be distinguished by some type of garment or clothing that clearly identifies the team. Any skater who does not have enough skaters in their same club to be able to take part in the relays, can team up with skaters from other clubs, as long as they all wear a similar attire (shirts, bodices and jackets). In the case of the numbers of participants not being a multiple of three, one or two teams of four competitors may be entered, the final decision being made by the organisers. (The competition consists of 12 laps, then the teams with 3 runners, will complete 4 relays, whilst the teams with 4 skaters will complete 3 relays). The system of awarding points for the test is identical to the rest of the racers, assigning the same points, corresponding to the position obtained, to the runners of the same team.
