The Minnesota Inline Grand Prix Series has been created as a fun and friendly way for you to compare yourself to the other skaters in the area, and to identify who is the best skater on the local inline racing circuit. It is also a goal to maintain and increase the sport of inline speedskating and rollerblading in the Minnesota region, ensuring races in the future. Best of all, the grand prix is FREE (though registration to the individual races are separate from the series).

Information for most of the races in the Minnesota Inline Grand Prix Series can be found through Inlineskatempls.com, adamsinline.com, Inlineplanet.com, or a simple google search.

Finally, Inlineplanet is starting NROC—National Roller Cup. This is a grand prix style series that is more national in focus. There are a few events that overlap, but there is not a conflict. I encourage you to check out the NROC series on Inlineplanet.com.

2010 race season point calculation will be the same as 2009.  The winner will earn 1000 points. The rest of the skaters will earn points relative to their percent back from the time of the first place finisher.

How the series works:

1. Cost is FREE for the entire Minnesota Inline Grand Prix (MIGP) series. Money is not exchanged in any way, nor is money earned from this series.
2. This series is independent of the races, and the races are independent of the series. Being in the MIGP series does not include entry into any race in the series.
3. You do not need to register for the grand prix series; if you participate in one of the above races, you’re in the series
4. The first GP skater in each race will score 1,000 points. All others will score based upon the percent from the first finisher. Points are awarded without regard to age or sex. In scoring races we will use official times from the races.
5. There are 13 GP races. A skater may compete in as few or as many of the races as they choose; however, results from only 5 races will count. If a skater participates in more than 5 races, only their 5 highest scores will count. Anyone racing in 5 or fewer races will have all of their scores included.
6. Scores are tallied within age division for each sex. Skaters do not change age divisions during the year.
7. Age groups for both male and females are 13-17, 18-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60+. In order for an age group to exist, it must have at least two participants, and each participant must complete 2 races. Some division groups may be combined in the upper ages.
8. Participants will be vying for the honor of being identified as the best.
9. Several races have additional shorter-distance-races competing at the same time. In all cases, only the longest event will be counted in the Grand Prix totals.
10. Grand Prix standing information will be on Inlineskatempls.com.
11. The dates listed above should be checked and confirmed by the races’ websites.
