9.6.1 RACE FINISHES: The race is officially ended for all contestants at the completion of the lap the winner is given the checkered flag. a) Should the checkered flag be displayed later than the official distance, the finishing order will be decided on the basis of the official distance. Under any other circumstance, the winner is the leader at the time the checkered flag is displayed. b) Should a rider be given the checkered flag with or ahead of the actual winner, the rider will be scored as having completed the race in the race position the rider was running at that time. c) Riders not yet receiving the checkered flag will be scored in order of finish and laps completed. 9.6.2 A“did not finish” (DNF) scores points in order of stoppage, but a “did not start” (DNS) will not receive points. A rider will score points if he is the sole class competitor. A rider must complete one full lap to be scored. 9.6.3 Results will be posted as soon as possible after the finish of a race. Once posted, there will be a 30-minute review time.

Unprotested results will stand. Any discrepancies will be resolved at the track.

9.6.5 Points will be awarded at all roadraces according to the following schedule. National-championship events also award regional-championship points for the region in which the event takes place. National Series awards are based on a rider’s best finishes in one-half of the total number of races up to 20, in the series, rounded up to the next whole number if necessary (e.g., in a 19-race series, a rider’s 10 best finishes count).Arider must score points in at least two events to be eligible for National series awards. Criteria for Regional SeriesAwards will be defined and published prior to the first event of the year. Yearly schedule changes to events and locations may change the regional series criteria. Year-end scoring ties will be broken by the greatest number of first-place finishes, then second-place finishes, third place, etc. If still tied, the position will be awarded to the rider with the better results in any headto-head, on-track meetings. In the event of an absolute tie, the oldest rider wins. a) All machines must have a functioning AMB transponder mounted on either fork leg not more than 42 inches from the ground with the mounting pin up, during all races. It is the responsibility of the rider to have the AMB transponder charged and mounted properly, or the rider will not be scored in the respective race. b) The racer must use their registered transponder on any bike they race. c) If a racer wants to be manually scored, a fee of $50 per day will be charged.
