Event format
The format was new for 2005 with 16 riders taking part in each Grand Prix, rather than 24, and over the course of 20 heats each rider will race against every other rider once. The top 8 scorers advance to a semi-final and from each semi-final the 1st and 2nd placed riders will advance to the GP final. All riders apart from the qualifiers for the final carry forward the points earned in the first 20 heats over the course of the season. The riders placing in the final receive points as follows:
- 1st place = 25 points
- 2nd place = 20 points
- 3rd place = 18 points
- 4th place = 16 points
