2008 Member Incentive & Reimbursement Plan
A points-based system is used to attach a value to the various contributions members can make toward the success of the club. The following criteria allows team members to calculate their own "level" and determine what they can do to get to the next level.
As this is the first time we are using this system, a certain level of discretion will be exercised by the Board of Directors to ensure members are treated appropriately.
Race dollar reimbursement will be calculated based each member's portion of the total club contribution multiplied by the total sponsorship dollars available to the plan.
Number of Races
USCF/NOBRA accredited races. Non-NORBA mountain bike races will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Training races do not count. Each stage of a stage race counts as one race.

(1) Clothing allocation and Discount Level will be based on the previous season.
(2) The clothing allocation above does not include the jersey included in the membership fees.
(3) Race Dollar payout is calculated at the end of the season by prorating a rider’s points score at the end of the year over the total score for the club and then multiplying by the total sponsorship dollars available. The max payout is there to prevent a rider getting a disproportionate share of the funds (the points system isn't perfect).
(4) Where sponsors offer a tiered discount system Level A is the preferred level.
(5) All riders who request race reimbursement must serve as a volunteer for Evolution Cycling Club during the sponsorship year. This includes, but is not limited to: serving as a club officer, committee member, team leader, event coordinator, race marshal or ride leader.
Travel Expense Reimbursement
Club members who wish to compete as a team (4 or more riders) at stage races or weekend events that require travel outside of the Virginia and MABRA area may submit a proposal to have the club sponsor the trip.
