The numbers 1-10 are reserved for the rider who earned that number in his /her respective class.= New riders are encouraged to select a number abo= ve 70 or use the last three digits of your AMA/ATVA card. Riders may choose any number they like, understanding that popular numbers may require one or more riders to modify their number on race day. When duplicate numbers are registered, the computer will select the rider who shall modify his/her num= ber for that event. To ensure correct scoring, the selected rider MUST modify or change his/her number as directed by the referee of the event or = risk not being scored. District 13 would recommend that if you have a duplicate number more than three times during any season, you should select another number.

Anyone not attending a mandatory rider’s meeting will risk disqualification.= A random roll call during the rider’s meeting could be called and a rid= er could be penalized at the referee’s discretion if he/she is absent or= not represented.

Safety equipment required. The minimum safety equipment required is a Dot/Snell approved hel= met, boots that extend past the ankle, gloves, goggles or face shield, long slee= ves and long pants. D-13 recommends the use of a chest protector and a neck bra= ce such as the Leatt brace.

Championship points = will be tracked by the rider’s name, AMA/ATVA number and the District 13 Member number. Unless designated as NON-POINTS, all scheduled races are points races. The 2011 D-13 Championship schedule= will consist of the following number of points races at these tracks: Action Tow= n - 3, Amelia Motor Raceway - 2, Birch Creek - 4, Budd's Creek -= 2, ECMX - 4, Lake Sugar Tree - 4, NCMP - 2, Shenandoah Speedway - 2, South Fork - 4, and Virginia Motorsports Park - 4. There is a total of 31 races for the 2011 season.

Motrcycle riders will earn points based on a "points per mo= to" system. For motorcycle classes there will be a total of 16 throw away motos. A motorcycle ri= der has the opportunity to score points from 46 motos= during the 2011 season.

If an event is cancelled, it is treated as a “throwaway ev= ent”. Specifically, it may not be used in any manner to determine a rider’s= final points standings. Tie breakers will be determine= d by the number of first place overall finishes followed by the number of second= s, thirds and so on until the tie is broken. All overall finishes will be used= to calculate the number of first place finishes and so on for tie breakers.

CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS - ATV=

The 2011 D-13 Championship schedule= will consist of the following number of points races at these tracks: Action Tow= n - 2, Amelia Motor Raceway - 2, Birch Creek - 2, Budd's Creek - 2, ECMX -= 2, Lake Sugar Tree - 2, NCMP - 2, Shenandoah Speedway - 2, South Fork - 2, and Virginia Motorsports Park - 2.

Tie breakers will be determined by the number of first place overall finishes followed by the nu= mber of seconds, thirds and so on until the tie is broken. All overall finishes = will be used to calculate the number of first place finishes and so on for tie breakers.

ADVANCEMENT POINTS

Riders will be advan= ced using the National Advancement System governed by the AMA. Riders will receive advancement points for participation in all motocross events. No ri= der will be advanced during the year unless he/she requests to do so with excep= tion of D class (see note below). A rider may not move back a class level without following the proper process as outlined in the AMA/ATVA rule book. Riders who participate in a higher level classification at any AMA/ATVA or = non AMA/ATVA sanctioned event will be considered as advanced to that classification. Using the table below, a rider will earn Advancement points based upon rider participation. A Rider Performance Value (RPV) will be ear= ned in each class an individual rider enters. To be considered for advancement a rider = ;must have a minimum of 6 points paying&= nbsp;class finishes within the rider's classificat= ion.  However the RPV for each displacement class will be calculated sep= erately. The total number of points divided by the number of races in which advancement points were earned equals the RPV.
Race results that have a DNF or a DNS motofinish are not to be used for purposes = of calculating a rider's advancement RPV.

ALL D Class Riders:
During a series if a rider receives 4 wins or 5 second place finishes or any combination of the two (must be a mimi= num of 10 riders in the class) the rider will be advanced at that time. At the = end of the year all D class riders w= ho have won an event will be advanced as of December 31. If you're fast enough to win th= e D Class, then you need to start the series in the C Class. When you get advan= ced, you don't take your points with you. The D Class is a beginner class and a chance to try racing to see if you like it. It isn't a place to plan on win= ning a championship.
No Sandbagging:
If it is determined by District 13 staff or the event Referee that y= ou were sandbagging you will be immediatly advance= d.
