LOCAL TRANSFERS, AWARDS & POINTS

1. The overall winners in any class or combined class in which there are more than six riders scheduled to compete shall be determined by a final race of not more than eight riders called a main. Following the last round of motos, all those riders in motos with four or fewer participants, or those riders ranked fourth or better in motos with more than four participants using the Olympic scoring system described under the heading SCORING, shall transfer to the main or, if this group numbers more than eight, to a series of qualifying rounds which will reduce their number to no more than eight.
    
   

2. Unlike the motos that feature three rounds of racing with a maximum of six riders per race, each generation of qualifier shall have only one round with a maximum of eight riders per race. Riders in the same class or combined class who have transferred to a qualifying round shall be divided into the fewest possible number of separate races of approximately equal rider count not exceeding eight per race nor varying among each other in number by more than one and assigned to the round which is appropriate to the number of riders remaining in the class or combined class. The top four finishers in each race of a qualifying round will transfer to the next round until no more than eight riders remain who shall transfer to the main. Each generation of qualifier is identified by its degree of removal from the main with that round closest to the main being termed a semi; that one step further away, a quarter; followed by an eighth, a sixteenth and so forth. Those qualifying rounds that are furthest from the main are run in their entirety before the next round commences.
    
   

3. Trophies or other awards are presented to riders in accordance with their finish positions as described under SCORING. Each track may adopt its own policy with regard to trophying the riders in combined classes.
    
   

4. All riders in combined classes will receive local points based on their finish positions in each moto and the main using the point chart appropriate to  the highest proficiency level represented in the combined class.
