In order for a race to be held, there must be a minimum of two riders in same class for girls, rookies, cruiser, & open classes. There is a minimum of three riders for all other classes.

If there are not enough riders per class at a race they will be combined with riders of another class of greater age or proficiency, until the minimum number necessary for the race has been met. For example, 7 rookies are combined with 7 novices, if there is not enough riders still, then they will all move into the 8 rookie class.

If the oldest girl does not have a class then she will have the option of racing with the novice class of her own age or with the girls class of one age group younger.

Girls have the choice of racing with girls their own age or older, or with NOVICE boys their OWN age. She must decide before who she wants to race at registration. If she changes her mind after registration then her points will be whatever place she finishes.

If your class has been moved to an upper class and their still is not enough riders, you will be placed into the next class up until enough riders are present. (Usually older riders are moved down the hierarchy until they reach a combined class of three or more riders).

If you race in a moto with riders of higher age/proficiency then you will receive points/trophy in accordance of what place you took compared to others in your class. For example, if you are 8 rookie and you raced with 8 novices but you got 6th place, you will still receive a 1st place trophy and points. (As long as there were no other 8 rookies that beat you in that moto).
