Keirin Qualifiers
The Elite Men (12 riders) and Junior Men (8 riders) will have to take part in a qualifier round as per UCI regulation 3.2.135. The order of the qualifying times will determine the distribution into Heat 1 and Heat 2. A change to the program will be made to include a Final for positions 7-12.
Medals

Masters, with a few exceptions, will get medals in 5 year age increments for individually timed races and 10 year increments for bunch races, irrespective if they are combined to form a larger start group / consolidated program line item.

In order to be eligible to enter, the event organisers will verify and confirm your participation with your Provincial/Regional Track Commission.

- Online entry has been completed (no paper-based entries will be accepted)
- Entry fee has been paid in full, in advance
- Cycling SA Track Racing License or Membership has been verified.
Costs
Entry fees for this year’s championship is based on a per-event bases, which departs from the fixed fees charged in earlier years. The reason for this is two-fold;
- Participants enter as many events as possible during registration, but then either cancel or do not show up for the events on the day. This affects the organiser’s ability to effectively plan the race program, as each event need to take into account the planned number of participants. As a result last-minute changes to the program causes additional work for administrators and officials and cause confusion and negatively affects the athletes in their preparation for their events.
- Access to funding for national events like this have been in a steady decline over the years. This is evident in the willingness of provinces to host these events. Western Cape Cycling is committed to hosting a proportional share of these national events to further the sport, but it requires funding to do so. With a projected budget of over R300,000 in expenses to host this event we need to rely on the cycling community to contribute towards these costs.
Fee structure
The fee structure is based on the number of events each person will participate in in accordance with the fee structure listed below.
| Number of events | Price |

| Eight events | R 754 |
| Nine events | R 815 |
| Ten events | R 850 |
| Eleven events | R 875 |
| Twelve events | R 890 |
Starting with an initial, compulsory fee of R50, the first 4 events will cost an additional R100 per event, then event 5 to 6 will cost an additional R75 each, then event 7 to 10 will cost an additional R50 each and thereafter at R25 each.
