4X-Trial is similar to speedtrial but there are four riders riding down the section in one time. The qualification round determine the top 20 riders who takes a part in the main contest.

The main contest is composed of 23 heats. First 20 heats are an all-play-all tournament. Every rider rides several heats always in different starting gate position. In this "all-play-all" game, riders are awarded race points according to their finishing position in each race: 3 points for first place, 2 points for second place, 1 point for third place and 0 point for the fourth place.

After 20 "all-play-all" heats there is an intermediate classification from the 1st to 18th place according to the total Race points each rider has scored during the "all-play-all" game. The 8 top-scoring riders goes to the Semi-Finals. The winner and second placed riders in each Semi-Final goes to the Final heat.

We had much fun with this race format, which is very fair to all riders.

I'd be happy to explain the details of this race format if anyone wants to organize such event ;)

That is awesome, need to bring that over here and introduce it to a few comps maybe.

Could have something like that running alongside the normal trials, perfect as a spectator sport and would definately bring some more interest from the likes of British Cycling and maybe even TV companies.
