Challenge Championship Series

NEW FOR 2011!

The goal of this series is to be the Amateur Championship and is geared towards Rookies and Challengers.

A development series, this will be the place for riders to truly gain the skills for future, higher competition. It will feature 20 events with five (5) in each region. The Challenge Championships will occur simultaneously on the July 23rd.

The Sunday race (July 24th) after the Regional Championships will be a bonus National in each region. The race will be run like a normal National with no virtual teamsheets and will count towards the rider’s National qualifying races.

QUALIFICATIONS

Each rider must have a total of ten (10) race entries with a minimum of one (1) NBL Challenge Championship Series and five (5) local, single-point races to qualify.

Any other race, ie. local, state, Challenge, or National Championship Series, can be used for the remaining four (4) races to qualify.

Riders will receive quad points for one of their Challenge Championship Series entries and triple points for one of the National Championship Series entries. The pre-race at each series will remain a triple local point race. The Challenge Championship will continue to count as a qualifying race for the National Championship Series for that current season’s Grands.

SCORING

Riders will be scored based upon the best six (6) total scores; however, only one (1) double point, (1) triple point and one (1) quad point race in calculating their score.

ALL-CHALLENGE CHAMPIONSHIP

In addition to the the Championship in each region, we will hold an All-Challenge Championship at the Grands for all the qualifiers from the Challenge Championship.

Riders who qualify and race the Challenge Championship in their region will also qualify for the All-Challenge Championship held on Friday evening at the Grands (in place of the US Open).

This series will award only the first place rider in each class with a Gold #1 Plate naming him/her the overall Challenge Champion.
