Track Cycling

Overview

This module documents track cycling as a discipline within the Event and Membership System. It serves as both a domain knowledge base and a foundation for designing the system’s track cycling event administration capabilities.

Track cycling takes place on a velodrome — an oval track with banked turns — and encompasses a wide variety of race formats: individual time trials, head-to-head sprints, endurance races scored by points or laps, team events, and multi-discipline composite competitions.

Regulatory Framework

Race formats, rules and procedures are based on:

  • UCI Track Cycling Regulations — the primary authority as the international governing body

  • Cycling South Africa (CSA) Regulations — supplementary rules for South African events and local race formats
