World 24hr Solo Qualifying Details.

• The Kona 24hr qualifying rider allocations are based on the number of Solo entrants:
  o The minimum number of riders who can qualify from the event are 10 Male and 5 Female.
  o The Kona 24hr will initially be allocated maximum qualification numbers of 40% of the male and female solo fields from the last time the event was held. This number may be increased and updated based on increased entries for the qualifying race as registrations come in.
  
  

• Qualification by Individual Application.
A rider may apply to twenty4sports for special consideration to be allowed to enter the World Solo 24Hr Championships. An example might be a rider who has only ever raced in a pair, or a rider from another endurance sport. These riders will be assessed by twenty4sports and, if successful, go into a pool. A rider who goes into this pool allocation may still miss out on an entry, as the pool allocation is normally only used when other qualification places have been taken up.
• Special Categories.
A rider who enters a qualifying event which does not contain the World Championships category they wish to ride may qualify under the event rules and then apply to twenty4sports to have their qualification changed to the relevant World category. For example, a single speed rider might enter an Australian race which does not have a single speed category. If they fail to qualify in the qualification race and consider that this failure is associated with their age or category, for example, they want to enter the 50-54 age category but there were too many young riders in the qualification race and they were pushed down the placings, then they need to apply under the qualification by individual application procedure above.
