National Championship Rules

Here are the rules that will be used to judge the National Training and Skills Championship. The committee consulted with motor officers across the US and Canada to arrive at a scoring system that would allow for the equitable comparison of all different makes of motorcycles.

Within the rules, you will notice the introduction of a Team Relay event, a modification to part of the individual Slow Ride (riot run) and the 3 pattern run. These events should provide an added level to the Championship.
