Every round will see the 15 permanent riders and one wild card rider race against each other over 20 heats. Every heat will consist of four riders doing four laps of the track.

Each rider takes part in five of the 20 heats, with points given out as per the result of each heat.

Those remaining riders who don’t reach the semis are then allocated championship points on a sliding scale from eight down to zero based on their performances in the heats.
The rider with the most points at the end of the season will be crowned world champion.
