Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Keen Wealth Cup Championship?

The Keen Wealth Cup (see picture) is an annual Overall Team Champion award given by Kansas Cycling Association (KCA) to the cycle team with the overall best record in the KCA Kansas Best All-Around Team (KBAT) Series for a given year.

___________________________________________________________________

What is the KCA intention for making the Keen Wealth Cup award?

The KCA intent of the Keen Wealth Cup award is to encourage and increase participation by a team’s members in the KCA Kansas Best All-Around Rider (KBAR) Series races.

___________________________________________________________________

What are the KCA expected benefits of the Keen Wealth Cup to area USAC bicycle racing?

Expected benefits of the Keen Wealth Cup competition for the Overall Team Championship are:

  • Encourage more team level participation in KBAR designated races as all member earned points count towards the award. This makes all team members’ participation important, even if a racer does not expect to win the individual KBAR award.
  • Encourage teams to recruit new members to team so the team can participate in all the category, masters, and juniors races both for male and female. This to gain potential for more KBAR points towards winning the Keen Wealth Cup.
  • Encourage team tactics in races instead of just riding as individuals. Part of team strategy can be to both win points, but also to keep other teams from getting points.
