A National League in Mountain Bike Orienteering has been held since 2008.  A series of events spread across at least 3 states constitutes the league each year.  

There are competitions for individuals as well as state based teams. 

In 2008 and 2009, the league was conducted in Open Elite and Junior (under 21) classes.  In 2010 the competition was expanded to include Masters age classes - increasing the competition between states.

In each age division, the best five (5) results over the eight events for 2014 will be counted in the individual age-group competition. There is no limit to the number of state competitors who may enter/score points in M/W-14, M/W-16, M-20, W-20, M-Open, W-Open, M/W 40-, 50-, 60-, 70-, 80-.

 

State Teams Competition:  Contested among Canberra Cockatoos, NSW Stingers, Queensland Storm, Southern Arrows, Tasmanian Foresters, Victorian Nuggets and Western Nomads.

The top two (2) rider’s times from a state in each of the age division will be summed in the official ranking. If only one state rider records a time, that state is ranked based on that result alone – below those with two riders. After each event, points from each of the divisions will be summed to give the 2014 National MTBO Series Team Scores.  

 

1st Place = 9 Points

3rd Place = 5 Points

5th Place = 3 points

7th Place = 1 Point

2nd Place = 7 points

4th Place = 4 Points

6th Place = 2 Points

Unplaced = 0 points
