Most matches will take place next Tuesday 14th May. Some riders are away in Majorca next week so if any rider is unavailable, they can arrange another date to complete the race over the Titanic TT Course - they must have an independent timekeeper - races MUST be completed before the first round is due to take place on the 28th May, otherwise both riders will be eliminated from the competition and the competitor waiting in the first round will receive a bye into the quarter finals.
The numbers after the riders name indicates the handicap - each number represents 30 second blocks of time against the course record time which is currently 30:56. For example, in the last match, Gary Hazlett has a handicap of 20, while Leeann Stewart has a handicap of 32, a difference of 12 - this means a 12 x 30 seconds head start for Leeann, meaning she has a 6 minute advantage.
