MOVE-UP POINTS

What are Move-Up Points?

From Chapter 11 of the Rulebook:

CHAPTER 11: Proficiency Upgrades / Move-Up Awards

Riders who are classified as Rookies, Novices, Expert, Super-Ex or Masters may voluntarily upgrade their proficiency level at any time, except August 1 through the Grand Nationals. Rookies must upgrade themselves to the Novice or Girls class when they accumulate fifteen move-up awards in the Rookie class. Novices must upgrade themselves to Expert when they accumulate twenty move-up awards in the Novice class.  A single move-up award will be granted in each class or combined class in which Rookies or Novices are registered at a local event to the Novice or Rookie rider with the lowest number of award points providing he has beaten at least two riders who are both of his own age or older and proficiency level or higher. For example: Six riders in a 12 Expert/13 Novice combined class. The 2-12 Experts finish first and second. The 4-13 Novices finish third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. The 13 Novice who finished third will be awarded the move-up award. For the purpose of applying this rule the girls class shall be considered to be at the same proficiency level as the Novice class. Riders below the age of 5 will receive move-up awards per their class. Move-up points will be awarded to 3-4 year-old Rookies and 5 Novice. If the rider meets or exceeds fifteen (15) move-ups for Rookie and twenty (20) move-ups for Novice, the rider will not be moved up in proficiency until they reach the next proficiency age requirement.

All multiple age classes in Rookie and Novice are considered as one class for the purpose of awarding move-up awards. Two move-up awards will be granted in every Rookie and Novice class or combined class at a national/regional event who meet the move-up criteria. If a class has a main event, only one rider in the main will receive the move-up.   For example, two 6 Novice and two 7 Novice riders are combined in the main event. One 7 Novice finshed first and one 7 Novice finished fourth. The two 6 Novice riders finished second and third. The first place rider has not beaten two or more riders his age or older; no move-up points will be awarded to him. The 6 Novice who came in second will receive the two move-up points for beating two other riders his age and older. Only one rider per class will receive the move-up award. The main event must have three (3) or more riders before this rule applies. Move-up points will be awarded at all races where the two-moto system is used. When a rider is reclassified to a higher proficiency level in another sanction, then he/she must immediately upgrade in the NBL, as well.

Note: It is impossible to determine which rider, if any, in a class or combined class in which Rookies or Novices are registered, is entitled to the move up award without knowing the age, proficiency level and finish position of every rider in the class, information which is not always available at local races. Rookies and Novices should attempt to maintain an accounting of their own move-up awards and periodically reconcile the accuracy of their records with the NBL’s main office to avoid racing out of class. Move-up awards must be protested within 60 days from the end of the season in which they were awarded. The Rookie class is for new riders only. There is no move-back to the Rookie class.

Email points@nbl.org to request an audit of your move-up points.
