Oh. Yeah, I misread what you wrote.
I don't think they give points to the trade teams. The points are attached to the Athlete. And by being assigned to the National Team roster, the National Team gets the points.
(If I understand correctly).
So, you are suggesting to give the points to the National Team based on Nationality even if that athlete is never selected to the National Team?
I can create a UCI Trade Team for the next season and assign myself as an Athlete. If I enter USA Elite Track Nationals and get 1 point for participating, are you saying that Team USA should get that point even if I am never assigned to the National Team?
