Team selection
On the points basis, three drivers tied for second place. The final selection was decided by the marathon scores at mutually contested events. There were only two events at which all three had competed: Ashfields and Hopetoun. It was by reference to these scores that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th places were decided. At the moment we are only being offered places for a team of three, so Emily Bennett is a reserve. If we are given an additional individual entry, she will be offered the chance to go as a single.		 
  
Due to the long gap between the first selection events and the World Championships, any competitor wishing to be considered for selection will be required to compete at a minimum of one selection event in 2010, to prove to the Ratification Panel that they have retained form over the winter. This is a requirement, regardless of how a competitor is placed in the selection table at the end of the 2009 season.
