Race Categories
There were races in 5 categories Elite Men, Elite Women, Under-23 Men, Junior Men and Junior Women. There was no separate race for Under-23 Women but the riders in this category took part in the Elite Women race. There were separate classification in all 6 above categories.
Calendar
In total there were 11 World Cup events held during the season. Originally there were 12 World Cup events planned but the third round race in Sardinia was cancelled due to the bad weather.
[1][3][4][5] All events included Elite Women and Elite Men races, but only 6 of the 11 events included an Under-23 or Junior race.
Compared to the previous editions some changes to the calendar and format of the World Cup were announced by UCI. Most notably, the number of races were reduced from 14 to 12 to allow for a more compact season. Moreover UCI assigned protected event status to some of the events which meant that UCI would not sanction any other international cyclo-cross event the day before or on the day in which a protected event was held.[6][7]
* Protected event: There were no other race on the UCI International Calendar the day before or on the day of the event.

Under-23 Women
There was no separate race for Under-23 Women. The riders in this age category competed in the Elite Women race, and received World Cup points based on the standing in the combined Elite/Under-23 race. So for example finishing first among the Under-23 riders but fifth in the combined Elite/Under-23 classification would give not 40 but 20 points.
