BYJL 2026 The British Youth and Junior League will continue this year. The entrance fee will be no more than £2.50. This year, regional rounds 1, 3 & 5 will count towards the BYJL individual and team scores. Rounds 2, 4, 6 & 7 being held on Sundays between April and June are being run under the BYJL banner as a way to protect junior riding, but the event structure will be formulated on the day according to numbers. All categories will be run at the same time, so all riders must be ready to ride at the published start times. There will be four national rounds as normal.
In the event of rounds 4 and 6 not having enough riders, as there is already a BYJL the day before, sratch races will probably be offered alongside the Midland Battle races.
Round 7 will be something like a flexi-league format.
Round 2 on this occasion will confer one participation point as a way of deciding places in the event of a tie. If both or neither participated, or the participation point leads to a tie, there will be a runoff as usual.
The age categories will be Under 9 and Under 16, there will be an intermediate category of U12 or U13 depending on numbers. There are no riders for an Over 16 category. Any new riders will be accommodated in the older category if necessary.
