Hi Skaters, Sorry for late information & delays, but we have a number of confirmations & another strong probability which will take us through to 8 or 9 events involved in the Asianic Inline cup first season.
Remembering that to encourage participation by emerging nations in the WIC, the Incheon nKorea & Zuzhou China events carry the standard 125 points for the winner & first placed 50 skaters earn points, that make them eligible for the overal ASIANIC INLINE CUP.
Other AIC Races have points carry as 60 points for the win & the top 20 score points, also the 500 meter sprint series prior to marathons & the bonus primes during the race count for the overall points.
