Bonuses

For every half stage you can set up a scheme of bonus seconds.

Bonus seconds are awarded:

• For the best riders in any intermediate sprints; and
• Optionally for the best riders in the stage arrival.

Bonus seconds count towards the general individual classification and to the general individual masked classifications.

Bonus seconds are usually listed on stage classifications; this depending on publication settings.

Configuration

The configuration of bonuses will be done by use of the tab sheet Bonuses of the configuration of the particular half stage. This can be found through Configure selection... in the Configuration menu, when the appropriate half stage is selected in the event tree.

If you want the UCI bonuses scheme for full stages (2.6.018), namely 3, 2 and 1 seconds for intermediate sprints and 10, 6 and 4 seconds for the finish, as a starting point, you can get this through the Standard UCI button.

On the tab sheet there are two lists: Interm. and Finish to enter the bonus seconds for the intermediate sprints and the stage arrival respectively. The bonus seconds in these lists correspond to the successive rankings, starting from 1.

Add

To add bonuses, the number of seconds has to be entered in the field above the particular list and Add has to be clicked.

There is no real limit to the amount of bonus entries that you can enter.

Remove

If a bonus entry is selected from a list, it can be deleted by clicking Remove.

Number of Sprints

Also the number of bonus sprints has to be entered. This is including the finish.

Thus, for three intermediate sprints, for instance, a number of 4 should be entered here.

By entering 1 there will only bonuses be assigned during the stage arrival; intermediate sprint bonuses as entered will be ignored.

By entering 0 no bonuses at all will be assigned; bonuses as entered will be ignored

If you only want bonuses to be assigned to intermediate sprints and not to the stage arrival, you enter no points in the Finish list. However, you nevertheless have to count the stage arrival for the number of sprints that you enter.

StageRace allows to enter up to 25 sprints, which should be amply sufficient.
