Rule amendment – Article 4.8.002
Participation
4.8.002 bis

UCI mountain bike world cup events are open to riders corresponding
to the following conditions:

- riders having obtained at least 20 UCI points in the individual UCI
MTB classification of reference in the format concerned (XCO and
DHI). The date of such classification of reference is fixed and
communicated by the UCI for each event of the UCI mountain
bike world cup.

**For 4X the "20 UCI points" rule does not apply.**

Apart from the riders qualified according to the above criteria, the
national teams may enter a certain number of supplementary
riders, as detailed hereunder:

- A maximum of six men and six women riders per format (XCO
and DHI) per national team. These riders shall be required to
wear national team clothing.

Cross-country Juniors

For the XCO juniors events, the "20 UCI points" rule does not
apply. All riders in cross-country juniors world cup events must
wear national team clothing, on the exception of XCO juniors
belonging to a UCI MTB Team.

Each national federation may enter six riders per category (men
and women). The national federation of the organising country
may register two national teams of six riders (A and B teams) for
both men and women. Junior XCO riders belonging to a UCI MTB
Team may participate on top off the six riders per category.

**Junior downhill
For downhill events, the "20 UCI points" rule does not apply for
junior riders belonging to a UCI MTB Team.**

what about DH

DH remains the same... well they've got a slightly new rule that went into effect for this year.

You must be on a trade team & MUST have 20 points

the only exception is if you're under the flag of your organizing body (i.e. if USA Cycling accepts your petition)
