Bosch eOtter MX Format

4 Rider Head To Head, Multiple Obstacles On Short Track, Fastest Moves Forward!

The race course will be approximately 500m long and consist of technical features with multiple line choices.

• Features will be spaced making it almost impossible to exceed 25km/h.
• Start area will be 4m across (Min). 
• Each Moto (Individual Round) will consist of 4 riders racing head to head.
• Riders will be seeded into first round Motos based on Race Directors discretion.
• The Race Director may use results from Rocky Trail races, state and national championships, coin toss or date of entry.

All riders must wear suitable body protection including a full face helmet.

Knockout Rounds

• At the completion of the first round of Motos, riders will progress to Round 2 so a Round 1 Moto winner will not compete against another Round 1 Moto winner. 
• At the end of Round 2 Moto, riders will progress into Round 3 based on seeding from the first 2 Moto rounds. 
• At the completion of Round 3 the top 8 (or 16) riders will be seeded into the knockout rounds. If there are multiple riders with the same results (i.e. same pts) an extra qualifying moto may be staged.
• In each knockout the first 2 riders progress to the next round until there are four riders left who will compete in the final.
