TO ENSURE THE PERSON YOU ARE ENTERING IS INCLUDED IN THE SERIES POINTS
If you are entering anyone else in this event ask them for their SiEntries ID (not the same as their SI-Card number). If they have not registered, please ask them to do so by visiting www.sientries.co.uk. Once you have their SiEntries ID, surname and postcode, you will be able to enter them without needing to type in any of their personal details. This will mean that their results at events in this series can be linked together and they can receive an overall series placing.
Remember: Points will only be added to riders registered on SiEntries – mates don’t let mates miss out on points!
