Team racing started in 1982 to provide some additional fun and excitement on the local scene. There is a one-time fee of $35.00 payable when entering a team with the State Commissioner. It is beneficial to register your team prior to the first state team race, but a team can be added at any time.

Team competition

Team rosters are comprised of up to ten (10) riders.

Teams can be comprised of amateur riders only, no Elite or Super Ex.

Each original team roster must have a minimum of:

• Two (2) Novice (Boy Racer) or Rookie Riders (Boy or Girl Racer) or a combination of the two.
• And One (1) Girl (riding in the girls class) or Cruiser rider ( Boy or Girl racer)
• An all girl (riding in girl class) roster will be accepted.
  A Rider is not allowed to be a member of more than one (1) team, regardless of classification.
  

Uniforms are optional, but teams should be identified in some form such as shirts, armbands, or plates.

A team roster must be registered with the State Commissioner, or his designated representative, prior to the first race in which the team competes.

A team roster must list the Riders name, NBL#, expiration date, age, class and phone number.

Full team rosters, with any changes indicated by the team manager, will be submitted to the State Commissioner, or his designated representative, before each team race.

Riders can only change teams if their team is disbanded.

Riders may resign from a team, but cannot join another team for the remainder of the season.

A team may drop a Rider from its roster under the following conditions:

• A Rider is injured and will not be able to participate in at least two team races.
• A Rider moves or does not show up for two consecutive team races.
• A Rider may be removed by a Team Manager for unsportsmanlike conduct, as defined by the NBL rules.

The Team Manager, prior to removal from the roster must contact the Rider and the State Commissioner. Once a Rider is removed, the Rider cannot be returned or added to any team roster for the rest of the racing season without review by the State Commissioner’s office. Rider performance, changing of class, etc. are not reasons for removal from the roster.

Team rosters will be frozen after completion of the 4th team race. No rider can be added after this time.

All team race fees are to be paid in full when the team is registered.

A Rider may change classes from Cruiser to 20” or vice versa only once during a season before the fourth race. The State Referee and/or the State Commissioner must approve this change prior to racing in the new class.

Each Rider or their Team Manager is responsible for making sure they are registered and paid for prior to the close of registration the day of the race.

Team Scoring

Teams must be registered and entry fees paid prior to the first moto.

Scoring will be based on actual finish position in the motos, mains are not counted.

When team riders are in combined class, they will be scored separately

The best five Rider scores are used the day of the race. Open class races will not be used.

Points are awarded based on the official moto sheet finishes using the following point system: 50 points for each first, 45 points for each second, 40 points for each third, 35 points for each forth, 30 points for each fifth and 25 points for each sixth place finish in each moto. Multiple point races will use the appropriate multiplier for each score.

For team scoring purposes, if a Pro races in a team racer’s moto, the Pro score will not be recognized for the team scoring (i.e. the first Amateur crossing the finish will be awarded 1st, etc.).

Ties will be broken based on the most first place finishes of the best five Riders. If a tie still exists then the most second place finishes, etc. through sixth for best five Riders. If a tie still exists the best score of the alternates are compared one at a time until the tie is broken. If a tie still exists, then co-winners will be declared.

Series Champion will be determined by the highest total score of ALL eleven (11) team races plus the State Championship Race.

The State Points Keeper will verify all team scores.

Once verified, the winning team of each team race will receive trophy traders in the amount of $25.00. They will be given out by either the State Treasurer or the State Commissioner.

The team racing series is self sufficient and is funded by the team racing fees.

Team Series awards will be awarded to team members and sponsor for all teams that competed in at least half the team series races plus the State Championship Race. Awards will be awarded at the State Awards Banquet.

If a team races with an illegal Rider, that teams points earned for the day will be forfeited.
