Opps no it’s not … bloody complicated
g) Stopping a race
A race will not be stopped prematurely unless the Clerk of the Course deems it necessary, but if so stopped before the leading competitor has completed half of the total race distance, the race will be declared abandoned. Lap money may be paid on laps completed and any re-run race will be for the remaining lap prize money only.The finishing positions in an abandoned race will be ignored for the purpose of classification of the race result.
A race stopped after the leading competitor has completed half of the scheduled race distance will be deemed to have been completed and the prize money re-allocated by the Organisers as they consider appropriate. The Clerk of the Course reserves the right to postpone or abandon any or all of the races if he considers it necessary. The Clerk of the Course may, notwithstanding the previous paragraphs, declare a result of any race based on such assessment as he thinks appropriate and, in doing so, may apply Sections 10 and 12 of the ACU Standing Regulations for Road Racing to such extent (if any) as he thinks appropriate in the circumstances.
In the event of the Clerk of the Course stopping a race prematurely due to ‘force majeure’ circumstances, waved red flags will be displayed at various points on the Course on the instructions of the Clerk of the Course or his Deputy. Stationary yellow flags will be displayed at intermediate marshals’ posts. In addition a suitable warning board will be displayed at Governors’ Bridge indicating that all competitors will be stopped at the start/finish line by means of Red Flag and Red Lights. In the event of the Clerk of the Course shortening (as opposed to stopping) a race, this decision may be given
