6.1 The Enduro track is composed of several time stages and transfers. The time stages are mostly downhill with an uphill no longer than 15% of the total distance of that time stage. The track is not extremely difficult.
6.2 The transfers are there to move the racers to the next time stage from the area of finish. Competitors may move in groups but without a help of others. The time limit for the whole competition is set on Saturday before the race and is counted since the start into the first time stage. Time beyond this limit is added to the sum of all the times out of each time stage. The race director may shift the limit by 15 minutes if more than 20% of people do not make it in time.
6.3 There will be a mechanical depot in the area of the event by Mavic which can be used for remote help.
6.4 The track is highlighted with a marking tape, black and yellow signs and gates with the help of triangles pointing at each other. The marking will be done by 11am on Saturday so that it is possible to try it out in advance.

10.1 The principle of the competition is to assign a certain number of points to the competitor in the race by points table.
- Absolute ranking is compiled separately for the contest Race and Hobby. Absolute ranking is determined by adding points (absolute standing points) from four races, therefore only four out of the six races are counted scratching the worst two results from six races.
- Ranking in the category is assembled within the category on the basis of points (category standing points) gained in the category classification and is determined by adding the points from four races, they are therefore counted four of the six races scratching the worst two from six races.
In case of equal score the winner is determined by counting points from all races without eliminating, then the result of the last race in the series.

Team registration is introduced exclusively through www.enduroserie.cz. All team members must have their profile in the registration system and must agree to their inclusion in the team.

Careful not to be confused with the notion Club ! The club is a wider concept. A competitor may have his home club (eg. In the context of the Czech Cycling Federation) and that may be different to the team within Czech Enduro Series. Competitors may join a team together, even though they are from different clubs. Team concept belongs only to the team- competition Czech Enduro Series.
