The race consisted of one, large group of riders (e.g., 328 riders in 2014), creating an extremely festive but chaotic atmosphere on many hills.  Long waits in the cold for re-grouping at the top of hills challenged riders, and the race often finished at dusk. Nevertheless, because the riders are only racing uphill, the DD has always been an especially safe race, and open to any rider willing to take the challenge.  Changes to the race format in recent years have made the race somewhat less “dirty,” but have maintained the camaraderie, challenge, and uniqueness the event is known for. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Format">Format</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dirty_Dozen_(bicycle_competition)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Format"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Competitors ride between hills at a neutral pace, and a whistle signals the rolling start of each hill.<sup id="cite_ref-Reid_2013_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Reid_2013-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The top male and female riders on each hill score points, with the first place rider scoring 10 points and the tenth place receiving 1 point.<sup id="cite_ref-Carpenter_2012_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Carpenter_2012-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The final standings are established by cumulative points throughout the event.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Since 2016, the race has included multiple start waves based on riders’ anticipated pace, from the open competition wave departing first (where official scorers are used), to the “Party Bus” wave bringing up the rear.  Women competing for official points must be in the Women’s wave, although women also ride in other waves.  In order to qualify as a finisher, riders must complete each hill in the event without losing forward progress or dismounting from the bicycle.
