A rider can do as many rounds as they want but must complete the minimum five round requirement, then it is only their best five results of the noted events below that count towards their final score.
The National Series is run over the calendar year, counting the events from 1st of January to the 31st of December

SCORING FORMAT
The top five results will be taken as follows;

Points are scored in the motos only (not finals)
• Points are scored in reverse, e.g. 8 for 1st, 7 for 2nd, 6 for 3rd etc.
• DNS will be 0 points.
• DNF will be given last place in that moto.
Where a round is held at a two-day meeting, points will be scored on the 1st four moto’s of the meeting. In the event of classes being amalgamated, points will be separated out after the meeting back into the age group that the rider entered. If for any reason a round only has 3 moto’s, then points will be scored on these 3 moto’s only. Equal final placings will be separated by countback.
