Is the qualifier racing under UCI total point scoring rules?

 Yes. Motos are scrambled which means that you will see letters after the moto numbers. A stands for 1st round, B for 2nd round & C for 3rd round. So for example a rider may race in moto 13a, 14b, and 15c for their moto rounds. The reason for this is because each round the motos are re-scrambled. The riders accumulating the lowest amount of points will move on to the next round of qualifying.
