2007 marks the inaugural year of the British Inline Cup. The BIC is a marathon series comprising three events this year, with points being awarded to competitors based on finish positions. The first three ladies and men overall will receive a trophy or medal. There are no age or team categories. The competition is run as an “Open” with both licensed and recreational skaters able to take part.

For its first year, the competition is under review. There will be no entry fees and so no prize money unless a sponsor puts some up. In future years it is anticipated that it will become self-funding where there will be a nominal fee which all goes towards paying for trophies and prize money. The level of participation will determine its success.

Although points are only awarded for the first 15 places, a marathon ranking will be calculated for all racers participating in the series. For the purposes of the BIC placings and rankings, only your best two races will be taken into account, so should you not be able to compete in all three races you may still be able to win a prize or, should you not be satisfied with one of your results from he first two races, you an try to improve your position with the third race.

The full rules can be found in the BIC Rulebook.
