What is wrong with this sentence structure?

Please help with the sentence structure below:

“No matter the format, the fastest 4 riders on the day will guarantee their spot at the World Championship .”

I don’t believe it is correctly constructed starting with the phrase “ No matter what format....”

I would write the sentence differently but have no basis for the argument.

Any language rules that you can guide me to in order to clarify this for me?
