===Race schedule===
Keirin velodromes follow the same basic schedule of races when conducting a race meeting. On the first day of competition, the better keirin competitors are assigned to races of higher caliber, while others are assigned to low-caliber races. Keirin racers are guaranteed to compete on each day of the meeting unless they are disqualified from a race or retire from the meet for any reason - in which case alternate competitors are called up to fill in the lower-caliber races.

Below is a schedule of races conducted during a typical three-day FI event (open to both S-class and A-class riders).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://keirin.jp/pc/dfw/portal/guest/news/2012khn/04/news20120420_01.html|title=平成24年7月（平成24年6月30日節初日）からFI開催のレース数が変更となります|publisher=keirin.jp|access-date=28 January 2013|language=ja}}</ref>
