			<h3 style="text-align: left;">Exciting Changes to the 2009 MNSCS Team Competition Scoring!</h3>
				
		<div class="text">
		<p>The 2009 team competitions will now be co-ed in Citizen, Sport, and Expert classes (no women&rsquo;s comp class).&nbsp; There will not be separate men&rsquo;s teams or women&rsquo;s teams but rather a combined team consisting possibly of both genders.</p>
<p>Men and women will still score points based on where they place within their gender.&nbsp; Therefore, a male and a female can contribute the same number of points towards their team.&nbsp; (Ex:&nbsp; There could be a 1st place male and a 1st place female on the same team. Their points scored will be combined for a total team score.)&nbsp; The top 3 point scoring riders will earn points for their team.&nbsp; <br />
<br />
End of the season recognition will be based on a team's top 6 events. In the event of a tie at the end of the year, the teams' best 7th event will be used. All other team guidelines will still be in effect.<br />
<br />
We believe that this will add more value to the performance of women team members, especially in the expert class as well as increase the women&rsquo;s participation.&nbsp; Please email any questions and your team rosters to John Oman at j_oman@yahoo.com <br />
