FMB World Tour event structure
FMB World Tour competitions are categorized into four levels: BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD and DIAMOND.The categorization system integrates a multiplicity of different criteria that ascertain the level of each single event. The main criteria are: the type and demands of the course, the rider line-up, the level of prize money, the professionalism of judging, the media output and the services in general. All competitions of the FMB World Tour have been categorized in close cooperation with the event organizers into one of the four levels.
The FMBA reviews the events year by year in order to make sure these can keep the standards of their categories or change to a different level. The highest competition level is DIAMOND. From BRONZE to DIAMOND, the higher the competition level the more points are collected by attempting riders for the overall FMB World Tour ranking.
