NOVICE

Plus one point for each rider in the your class.

INTERMEDIATE

Plus one point for each rider in your class.

EXPERT, GIRL & CRUISER

Plus one point for each rider in your class.

At all races, riders earn points for their finish in the main, plus one point

for each rider in their class. For multi-point tabulating, take your overall

points total and multiply it by the amount corresponding to the event (i.e.

double, triple or quadruple). Riders not qualifying to the main event will

still receive one point for each rider in his/her class for the day’s point

tally.

Parents and riders, it is up to you to count your wins.

Here is an explanation on proficiency advancement:

1. When a Novice Girl has received eight (8) wins, she will be required to

move up to the Girls class. If a girl classified as Novice voluntarily

competes in a Girls class at any ABA race before reaching eight (8)

Novice wins, she will automatically be moved up to the Girls classification

and can no longer compete as a Novice.

2. A boy Novice rider will move to Intermediate upon a total of eight (8)

class wins (of any type of race) or a total of 5 national, Redline Cup Final

or Race of Champions wins during his Novice career.

3. An Intermediate rider will move to Expert upon a total of twenty-five

(25) class wins (of any type of race) or a total of five (5) national,

Redline Cup Final or Race of Champions wins during his Intermediate

career.

4. Open and cruiser wins do not count for advancement.

5. It is the rider’s responsibility to move him/herself up when

6. Sandbagging is prohibited. Any Novice or Intermediate rider having

been judged to have intentionally avoided getting a win towards

advancement will be disqualified and moved to last. Last place points will

be issued but the applicable award (if any) will be forfeit. Additionally, a

win towards advancement will be credited.

7. A track operator may request to the ABA that a rider be moved up in skill

level based on that rider’s ability and/or actions.

8. The ABA reserves the right to modify any rider’s proficiency at its

discretion.

9. A rider may advance to the next higher-skill level voluntarily without

acquiring the total amount of wins by racing in a higher skill level. No

ABA approval is required for this action; the right to reclassify is forfeit for

one (1) full year.

10. Any rider competing with another association or organization must

compete in the similar classification at any ABA sanctioned event. If a

rider’s classification status changes in another association or organization,

that rider’s ABA status must immediately be changed to be comparable.

11. Any rider having exited the sport for any period of time and reapplying for

membership must re-enter the sport with the same number of wins that

they had when he/she left. Exceptions are available per Section IX, rules

3 & 4 listed in the ABA rules.

12. Any current ABA Cruiser rider holding a NAG (#1-10), Redline Cup or ROC

plate, upon entering into 20” competition with a new full 20” membership,

will be classified as NO LESS than an Intermediate rider. This will not

affect the classifications of current 20” license holders.
