UCI Compliance

During the design of StageRace, there was no official contacts with the International Cycling Union (UCI). Nevertheless, StageRace is fully compliant to recent UCI rules.

Involved UCI Rules

StageRace has been brought fully up to date with the 2003 regulations.

Single exception to the latter is that the highest rankings of teams in daily teams classifications are not taken into consideration (2.6.016, 2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence: "In the event of a tie, the following criteria shall be applied in order until the teams are separated: 1. Number of first places in daily team classifications 2. Number of second places ... Etc."). However, the ranking rules that are available should be amply sufficient to perform teams classifications in a satisfactory manner. The available rules give a sufficient depth of solving ties.

Additional Rules

In addition to the bare minimal set of rules that the UCI regulations provide, a lot of ruling practices are obtained from other sources.
