Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register for the Leaderboard?

No, all riders that compete at eligible competitions will be automatically included. If your results are not included on the Leaderboard and a competition has been posted, please contact DWA.

Does my competition need to be registered for the Leaderboard?

EWA Competitions will be included on the Leaderboard when the results are sent through to EWA. If the results of your competition are not included after results have been sent to EWA, please contact DWA. 

What does it mean that I am only eligible for one level of Leaderboard?

In the situation that a rider wins two leaderboard levels, only the higher level will be awarded to that rider. The second place-getter in the lower level will be awarded Leaderboard Champion of the lower level.
