Announcing the 2024 NEBRA Road Ranking Series!
NEBRA is happy to announce the continuation of the NEBRA Ranking Series with this year’s road series. We will continue with our combined road race and criterium rankings to find the best rider in New England as was done in the past. This is an exclusive for New England riders.

At the end of the season the top rider in each category will be presented with a series leaders jersey courtesy of Verge Sport.

How do I score points?
Road/circuit and criterium races will be scored by placing using the following points scheme:
Places | Road/ Circuit | Criterium |
1 | 75 | 50 |
2 | 60 | 40 |
3 | 45 | 30 |
4 | 35 | 25 |
5 | 30 | 20 |
6 | 28 | 18 |
7 | 26 | 16 |
8 | 24 | 14 |
9 | 22 | 12 |
10 | 20 | 10 |
11 | 18 | 8 |
12 | 16 | 6 |
13 | 14 | 4 |
14 | 12 | 2 |
15 | 10 | 1 |
16 | 8 | |
17 | 6 | |
18 | 4 | |
19 | 2 | |
20 | 1 |
- Circuits must be of 5km or more in length to be considered for Road/Circuit points.
- Masters fields will score points for any category that doesn’t have an “older” race they could be entered in – i.e. a 40+ field will count toward 50-59 if there is no 50+ race that the event.
- If there is not a women’s masters 40+ race, points will be awarded from the P/1/2/3 race and are based on overall finish position. You get points based on your place against all racers (i.e 7th overall but top 40+ = 7th place points) but the ranking only includes 40+ racers.
- If there is not a women’s masters 50+ or 60+ race, points will be awarded from the 40+ women’s race (if held), or from the 4/5 race and are based on overall finish position. You get points based on your place against all racers (i.e 7th overall but top 40+ = 7th place points) but the ranking only includes 50-59 or 60+racers.
- Mixed category fields that do not directly tie to series categories will score points toward the highest category in them – i.e. a 3/4 field counts toward the Cat 4 ranking if there is not a separate cat 4 race.
- A masters field that doesn’t include cat 1 riders doesn’t count toward anything.
- In men’s category races and men’s masters races, younger/lower category riders can take points away from older/higher category riders – points are awarded based on finish position only. The age of the riders ahead of you doesn’t matter.
- The tiebreaker for ties in points is the latest result for the affected riders.
