","df1d94715866cf7bf7363600","GEN-1","Offences ","

The following offences will be subject to disciplinary action by the Referee and/ or AMO. This list is provided as guidance to licensed competitors but does not restrict AMO from invoking penalties for other actions detrimental to the sport which are not specifically contemplated herein.

Falsifying one’s age or ability to meet any of the various eligibility requirements as set forth by AMO, or in general, competing or attempting to compete in AMO sanctioned activities under false pretense will result in disqualification from the event and the series.
Giving, or accepting, directly or indirectly, any bribe in any form to any person in an attempt to circumvent AMO rules or procedures or to otherwise gain an unfair advantage.
Refusing to provide a factual statement regarding an item under appeal when requested by AMO or a party to the appeal; or interfering in any way with AMO’s protest and appeal procedures in order to influence the outcome.
Engaging in any unfair practice, misbehavior or action detrimental to the sport of motorcycling in general, whether or not related to a specific competition. This also pertains to mechanics and all pit crew members, which are the responsibility of the rider for the duration of the event (defined as the time of arrival to time of departure from the site).
An attack (physical or verbal) or threat on a AMO official or a participant / rider and / or engaging in a fight. This includes any person who attacks or is involved in a confrontation anywhere on the premises prior to, during, or after a AMO sanctioned race. There will be no maximum fine or suspension period for this offense. A verbal threat or physical attack on a AMO official by a mechanic/team manager will result in disqualification of their rider. An attack by an AMO official or staff member on a rider will result in immediate sanctions against the official or staff, including immediate suspension and removal from the event, followed by a hearing and resulting sanctions determined by the AMO Board or, if a conflict of interest might be perceived, an impartial committee chosen by the AMO Board and approved by the rider who was attacked.
Refusal to submit a machine for inspection. Any rider refusing to immediately surrender his or her machine to the Referee or his designee upon demand, or refusing to allow examination or measurement of a machine’s components will be in violation of these rules and will be disqualified from the event.
Failure to reenter the track at a point as close as practical to the point at which the rider left the track; and in so doing gaining an unfair advantage. This offence will always remove the unfair advantage gained plus a 5 position penalty. If no advantage was gained and no malicious intent is believed by the officials, the competition committee, or the AMO Board, then no penalty would be applied.
Receiving any form of prohibited outside assistance, except as provided for in these rules.
Failing to immediately respond to a black flag or other signals from AMO officials will result in immediate disqualification from the moto.

It is the sole responsibility of the rider to select a helmet and apparel which will provide appropriate protection. The AMO does not endorse or certify any manufacturers or products. The rider must rely on his own judgment in the selection of any helmet and apparel for durability and safety.
A helmet must be worn during all competition. Helmets must be certified by the manufacturer to meet or exceed the Department of Transportation (DOT) FMVSS 218. The rider’s number may be placed on both sides of his helmet (using a contrasting colour) to help scoring. Chin strap must be done up properly which will result in a stop and go penalty (which is the length of time required to secure it) and possible disqualification. Taking the helmet off at any point while on the racecourse will result in automatic disqualification for that moto. An official may stop any questionable chin strap that may be undone at any point and time.
Shatterproof goggles must be worn at the beginning of the event, including practice.
Protective pants made of nylon, leather or other durable material must be worn in all competition.
Long sleeve jerseys are to be worn at all times. Short sleeve or sleeveless shirts are prohibited. Chest protectors are strongly encouraged. Shirt sleeves must be below the elbow to be considered a long sleeve jersey. Noncompliance will result in disqualification from that moto.
When chest protectors and or jerseys are used for rider identification, there must be the rider’s number displayed a minimum of eight inches high by one inch wide on the back of jerseys or 5 inches high by one inch wide on the back of chest protectors. The jersey/chest protector and number must be of contrasting colours. AMO is not assigning numbers. If a conflict arises at an AMO event one of the riders will be required to run a letter or an X to separate from other same numbered rider.
All Professionally ranked riders must have their last name on the back of their riding uniform at the shoulder line with letters no less than 1 inches high. No abbreviations of last names or nicknames will be accepted. If a chest/back protector is worn over the rider’s jersey, the rider’s name and assigned number must be visible either on the jersey or on the chest/back protector.
Rider’s number on the back of their jersey/chest protector must coincide with their numbers displayed on their number plates. The number must be
a contrasting colour to that of the jersey/chest protector.
At Amateur Nationals rider with highest ranking will keep his race number if there happens to be duplicates in a particular class.
Boots must be worn in all meets. They must be at least eight inches high with either laces, buckles or zippers, or specially designed and constructed for leg, foot and ankle protection.
For all National and Amateur National events, all riders and mechanics must present a clean and neat appearance.
Mechanics must be in a uniform designating a rider or team.
Cutoffs, sleeveless shirts and open toe shoes are prohibited in the mechanics area.
Bibs are required at certain events and are mandatory. If a rider does not wear their assigned bib during a moto, but still has their race number on the back of their jersey, they will be docked 5 positions. If a rider does not have their bib, nor their numbers on their jersey, they will receive automatic disqualification.

The referee has the power to disqualify any motorcycle that does not conform to the rules, and he may inspect any part of a motorcycle entered in an AMO sanctioned event. A machine that passes a pre race inspection is subject to further inspection or protest at any time during the race program.
A rider who refuses to allow his engine to be measured or to prepare his motor for measurement is automatically disqualified from the event.
Participants are solely responsible for the condition of their motorcycles and personal riding equipment. The AMO does not inspect or verify the condition of vehicles, clothing or other riding gear and accessories used in an AMO sanctioned amateur competition.
Any pre race inspections that are performed do not certify that the motorcycle cycle is qualified or constituted as legal for class participation.

","45f4bc563adb21a0bcf8c192","EQU-1","General Equipment Standards ","

Equipment used in sanctioned competition must meet the following standards, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this rulebook. When the rules permit or require equipment to be installed, replaced, altered or fabricated, it is the sole responsibility of the rider to select components, materials and/or fabricate the same so that the motorcycle components will perform in competition with safety.

Engines: The engine must be from the approved OEM, and the manufacturer’s approved crankcase, cylinder and cylinder head from the approved OEM must be used. A manufacturer’s cylinder that, in stock form, possesses a chrome/nikasil plated bore must maintain the manufacturer’s standard specifications. Classification will be according to the manufacturer’s piston displacement specification for that engine. A rider cannot bore or stroke a make a bike eligible for a class above the manufactures' displacement ex: 250F to ride in 450 class. You may bore or stroke a machine to bring up to maximum displacement in the approved manufacturer's class ex: 85 cc to a 112cc for Supermini use. The capacity of each engine cylinder is calculated by the geometric formula, which gives the volume of a cylinder; the diameter is represented by the bore, and the height by the space swept by the piston from its highest to lowest point:
1. Capacity = D 2 x 3.1416 x C 4
  Where D = bore and C = stroke
  When a cylinder bore is not circular the cross-sectional area must be determined by a suitable geometrical method or calculation, then multi plied by the stroke to determine capacity.
  When measuring, a tolerance of 1/10 mm is permitted in the bore. If with this tolerance the capacity limit is exceeded for the class in question, a further measurement should be taken with the engine cold, to 1/100 mm limits.
Gasoline: Engine fuel must consist of gasoline defined as petroleum based and must be commercially available as produced by the manufacturer.
1. Specific gravity must fall within the range: .715 .765 at 60º F.
2. The maximum oxygen content is 6.20% m/m.
3. Epoxides (i.e. propylene oxide) will not be considered ethers. Nitrogen bearing compounds are not allowed.
4. Lubrication additives are permitted provided the resulting mixture will meet all other requirements.
5. Samples for lab analysis may be taken anytime during a meet from a competitor’s fuel tank at the discretion of the Chief Technical Inspector, Head Referee or upon receipt of a written protest accompanied by a fee of $300.00. Official results from a AMO appointed laboratory will be the final determining factor of whether illegal performance additives are present in a particular fuel sample.
Transmission: The gearbox is limited to the number of speeds of the approved motorcycle. However, machines originally equipped with fewer than six speeds may be increased to a maximum of six speeds. All approved motorcycles must be fitted with a transmission as catalogued and sold by the manufacturer of the motorcycle in question.
Brakes: Brakes must be manufactured and installed in safe and workman-like manner. Motorcycles in offroad competition must be equipped with adequate, operating front and rear brakes.
Frame :
1. Frame parts must be manufactured in a safe and workmanlike manner, and any frame modifications also must be done in a workmanlike manner. Titanium frames are not allowed. Strengthening gussets or tubes may be added, but none may be removed.
2. Side stands must be removed for competition.
3. Once qualified for an event, the machine’s frame may not be replaced though engines may be.
4. All footrests must fold backward at a 45 degree angle. Footrests may be raised or lowered, but cannot be lower than the bottom frame tube.
5. Engine mount location, steering head, swing arm pivot point and rear suspension linkage point must be the same as the originally approved model.
Handlebars and Controls: Handlebars must be made of steel or another material approved by the AMO. Repaired, cracked or broken handlebars are prohibited. Handlebar mounts may be altered. Control levers must have ball ends at least one half inch in diameter.
Forks: Forks must be adequate in strength and size for the motorcycle and its use. A steering damper may be fitted in all types of competition.
Gas Tanks: The gas tank must be manufactured and mounted in a safe and workmanlike manner. Leaking gas tanks or fittings as well as temporary makeshift repairs are prohibited. The same size gas tank must be used during the entire event, including qualification.
Fenders: Rear fenders must extend at least to a vertical line drawn through the rear axle.
Number Plates: Three number plates are required (one on the front, two on each side), and must be mounted securely and in a workmanlike manner. All number plates must be clearly visible. If missing numbers you will be automatically disqualified only if missing before the start of the race.
Paddle tires are prohibited from all AMO sanctioned events. A paddle tire is defined as one that has a knob with one continuous rib from one side of the tire to the other.
The following applies to the 50cc Pee Wee classes only:
1. Single speed automatic only
2. Maximum wheel size 12”
3. Maximum wheelbase 41”

Exhaust Systems – All motorcycles must meet sound limits of 99 dB/A measured on the “A” scale at 0.5 meters (20 inches). Test procedure will be prescribed by AMO. The exhaust system must be attached securely together at all points and to the frame. If exhaust is cracked 100% all of the way around it is not classified as being together. If the exhaust system dislodges from the motorcycle, the rider will be immediately black flagged and dis-qualified from the moto. The discharge end of an exhaust system may not extend past the rear edge of the rear tire, nor point so that it creates dust or interferes with the vision of another rider. If the official cannot determine while on track, he or she must wait until the end of the moto and black flag rider with checkered flag and inspection at that point will take place.
All motorcycles are to be equipped with an operable kill switch.

For Nationals, the overall top three finishers are to leave their race bike in the designated quarantine area for 10 minutes. If, following the first motos, a protest is lodged, the protested machine is allowed to compete in subsequent motos under protest. At the completion of the motos, the motorcycle will be quarantined for a minimum 30 minutes and inspected under AMO. After this time limit, the impound area officials will no longer be responsible for the machines left behind. Amateur nationals impound may be random and is at the discretion of the head official.

","51701e13dc98e62de4157fa5","EVE-7","Procedures for Red Flag Stops and Restarts ","

In the case of a false start (gate malfunction) or a race that has been red flagged due to emergency/downed rider blocking the course with less than 50% of the laps completed, a race will be restarted. If the red flag is displayed after 50% or more of the race has passed the race will be considered complete.
All riders are to return to their original starting position. Only riders that have been scored the lap prior to the red flag will be eligible to restart the race. Riders that are a lap down at the time of the red flag will be scored a lap down at the completion of the restarted race. The running time of the restarted race will be the total scheduled time less the time prior to the red flag. If the red flag is displayed within the first five minutes of the race, the race will be rerun in its entirety.
Riders that push their bikes across the start line for the intention of participating in the second moto will not be eligible for any restart of the first moto.
If prior to the gate dropping for the start of the race, a rider either A) jumps the gate, or B) rides through the gate due to a missing gate brake (which stops the gate from being pushed forward), or a broken gate brake, the race must be restarted. A red flag can be used to stop the race, but in this case the red flag does not disqualify the rider.
1. First Offence - restart, dead engine start
2. Second Offence - disqualification for the moto
3. In the event a restart is not possible, the rider in question must receive a stop and go penalty.
If the rider repeats either offence on the restart, they are black flagged as soon as possible and held until all other riders have passed who are circulating on the same lap as the leader.
In the event a race is ended due to a red flag, the rider causing the red flag will receive last place points. If two riders or more caused the red flag, they will be scored last and second last. Their results will be determined by previous position.
Riders who are not present at the starting gate for the original start of a race will be excluded from any subsequent restarts.
Supercross and Arenacross only, when a race is stopped with three laps or less completed by the leader, it will be restarted.
Should a Supercross or Arenacross race be stopped with more than three laps complete by the leader, riders will be restarted from a staggered standing start in the starting area. Riders’ restarting positions will be determined by their race positions in the lap preceding the red-flagged lap. The remaining laps, or a minimum of two laps, will then be run. A race will be restarted no later than 20 minutes following a red flag.
Any race stopped with less than half of the specified laps completed will require a complete restart.
If, in the referee’s opinion, it is necessary to stop an event after at least 50 percent of the total distance has been covered, the race may be considered completed. Riders will be scored according to their position on the lap preceding the one during which they were red flagged. Even if the leader is the first to get a red flag (if it happens on lap 4 then you go back to lap 3). If a race is stopped before 50 percent is completed, it is considered no race. At the referee’s discretion, the event may be resumed.
If a moto was stopped because of an injured rider and a restart takes place, the rider causing the restart is not permitted to restart the moto. If it occurs after 50 percent of the race has occurred see Section 5, previous.

Starting area must have a minimum width of 25 feet for Arenacross, 80 feet for Supercross, and 140 feet for Motocross at the starting gate. There must be a minimum width of 20 feet at the point where the starting area enters the track. Starting area must be 120 feet in length prior to entering the race track.
Mechanical device is used to start a motocross event - a rubber band, a mechanical backward-falling gate or, when facilities permit and with the referee’s approval, electronically controlled starting lights.
The starting gate handle must be enclosed with a gate house that has a minimum height of 48” to prevent the riders from viewing the drop of the gate.
All starting gates must have a rear restraint a distance of eight feet behind the gate in the down position: i.e. railroad ties that will prevent riders from rolling back from the gate.
In the event of a false start (gate malfunction), which will be indicated to the Starter by a prearranged signal, the Starter will display a red flag to stop the race as soon as practical. Someone jumping start is not considered a false start.
There will be no grooming in front of the starting gate by riders or me- chanics. Grooming may be done behind the gate providing that no shovels, tools, brooms, other implements or agents are used. Watering of starting lanes by riders or crews is prohibited. Transporting dirt from outside the designated starting area is prohibited. A dead engine start will occur.
For concrete starting pads, only the event organizers are permitted to clean or clear the starting pad in front of and behind the starting gate. All outside tools of any description, rags, paper towels, towels or any drying/cleaning device, etc. are prohibited. Hands and gloves are the only devices permitted to clean the starting surface. Any infraction will result in a dead engine start with the rider’s right foot placed on the ground.
When the last rider is in the gate and the track is cleared for the start, the Head Referee then holds up a 30-second sign. The 30-second sign will be held upright for 30 seconds, then turned for five seconds, then turned side- ways for no more than five seconds. During the one to five second interval, the gate will fall.
A rider will be considered to have started a Race once the machine has crossed the starting gate or line.

","649170a9d5146fd3dfb12bce","EVE-5","Scoring ","

An AMO approved scoring system must be used. Each rider is entitled to examine his score or scorecard with the office compiler or Clerk of the Course.
Official results are declared final if no rider requested a recheck within 30 minutes after they are posted.
If any claims are filed within the 30 minute time frame, a new posting limit of 30 minute will be required if the claims are found to be valid.
The final results posted at the end of the 30-minute protest period may not be altered except by the AMO or regional appeal process.
In the event of a tie in points at series end, the process to break the tie is by determining the rider that has the greater number of top placing moto scores in the series. If, for instance, there is an equal amount of first place finishes in the series between two riders, calculate the number of second place moto scores, and continue down until the tie is broken. The rider with the greater number shall be placed higher in the overall results of the series. If the tie remains unbroken after comparing moto scores throughout the series, the overall winner of the final race in the series will be ranked higher in the final series results.
Transponders – At events using transponders it is the rider responsibility to ensure the transponder is fully charged, working and on the bike.

","65b326253ba88e8d78c0519f","EVE-4","Flags ","

Flags measuring a minimum of 24 inches by 24 inches have the following meanings:

GREEN - start of race
WHITE - one lap to go until finish.
YELLOW - caution. When a yellow flag is displayed, there will be no double jumping/jumping allowed. Competitors must ride cautiously until they have passed the incident that caused the flag. While the yellow flag is displayed, racers are allowed to race to the flag, after flag failure to use reasonable caution, aggressive riding, passing or double jumping while the yellow flag is displayed will result in a 5 position penalty. Once passed the incident racing resumes. Contact with emergency and track personnel, or race official will result in immediate disqualification from the event.
WHITE WITH RED CROSS - emergency vehicle or personnel on the track. Absolutely no passing or double jumping/jumping is allowed. An automatic penalty of ten positions will be imposed for those that fail to comply. If both the Red Cross and yellow flags are displayed and a pass occurs the ten positions penalty will apply. The Head Referee may go to full disqualification at his discretion. When a Yellow or Red Cross flag is displayed, passing is considered to be any bike on the track ahead. Passing a lapper or rider in another class will result in a 5 (Yellow) or 10 (Red Cross) position penalty. Once passed the incident racing resumes.
BLACK - disqualification of a rider. That rider must report to the referee at once.
BLUE - move over, another rider is trying to pass.
BLACK AND WHITE CHECKERED - end of a race.
RED - stopping of a race for any emergency situation.

","f1b4e88f16fefd20e31dd5f9","EVE-3","Procedure for Staging ","

The finish order of riders in qualifying motos will determine start positions for main motos as follows: the winner of each qualifier will have 1st choice of position, 2nd place finishers next, 3rd next and so on (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc). In the case of no qualifiers, random computer selection or pins (where computers are not used) will be used for the gate pick in the first moto.
In all subsequent motos, the riders will choose positions according to their finish position from previous motos in a 2 moto format. In the event results from a previous moto are not available, the second moto will be staged as per the staging order of the first moto. In a 3 moto format staging will be done by overall standings.
Riders will be called from the starting area to line up on the starting gate. A rider must take his position on the gate as assigned. If a rider is absent when their number is called they will lose their original gate choice and may only select their start position after the current rider to be staged has been called. Exchanging gate positions with other riders is not allowed. At events that have a numbered staging area, when the first bike starts to move to the line you are considered late and will receive last pick at the gate. If pins are being used for an event, any rider who does not have their pin prior to the first number being called, they will be classified as late and receive last pick.
Only regional/local events are starting blocks permitted on the starting line. For WCAN/ECAN and TransCan Grand National will starting block be provided by the event ensuring equal for all competitors. NO outside starting blocks are permitted.
No mechanic, rider or their motorcycle can go to the starting line before their number has been called. At the discretion of official, you may lose your gate pick and receive last pick of gate.

","5b470ccb7d5e36118559a12e","EVE-2","Race Rules","

No one except riders officially entered may ride or practice on any portion of the course the day of the event.
Practice or warm up is limited to the designated race course. Competition riding or riders allowing their machines to be ridden outside these boundaries will be excluded from the event.
A rider must be ready when called to the starting area. If not ready, the rider or mechanic must signal the starter by raising their hand in the air and will be allowed two minutes after the starter’s call to make minor repairs. Afterwards, if he still is not ready, he is excluded from the event. Once an alternate rider has been called to the starting line by the Head Referee, he will not be removed unless disqualified for some infraction. No alternate rider will be placed in an event once the starter has started the race. Additionally, alternate riders may not be placed in an event that must be restarted. Any rider may ask for two minutes to make repairs, but the additional time will not prevent the disqualification of another rider who has used the two-minute limit. Once one rider has exercised the two-minute delay of the start, additional delays will only be permitted at the discretion of the head referee. A maximum four-minute delay for two separate riders at the discretion of head official will be allowed at Amateur Nationals. A rider must physically cross the start line with their bike in order to be able to participate in the second or third motos of the event.
In the event of an on-track accident resulting in apparent indications of concussion or another undetermined head injury including temporary unconsciousness, headache, dizziness, nausea, or temporary memory loss, the involved rider is suspended from further competition for the remainder of the event.
In all head injury cases where riders have been temporarily suspended, it is recommended to refrain from further competition for a minimum of three weeks or seek medical approval to return prior to the recommended time period. If a doctors note is required to return to racing, the note must indicate directly that the head is cleared to return to racing.
Under no circumstance may anyone ride a machine in the wrong direction on the track. For this offense, the rider will receive a five-position penalty at the discretion of the head official.
Repairs to motorcycles will be allowed in the staging area and starting line until the 30 second board is displayed. Repairs may continue following the start of the race behind the starting line. Once a rider has crossed the starting line all repairs must take place in designated mechanics area.
Riders who do not complete the checkered flag lap will be scored in order of finish and laps completed. Riders choosing to leave a race before its completion are not required to wait for the checkered flag to receive credit for laps they have completed.
If a rider stops for any reason during an event, he must restart without any outside assistance, with the exception of 50cc Pee Wee – 4 to 6 year old competitors. However, if a rider falls, blocking the course and endangering other riders, he may receive help or have his machine pushed off the course. An attempt to help under any other situation will result in the rider’s disqualification.
A rider who leaves the course must re-enter the race in a slower and con-trolled manner in which there is no interference with other rider or advantage, in any way, as a result. Failure to do so will result in the rider being penalized a minimum of one and a maximum of five finishing positions for that moto. For major infractions of this rule may result in disqualifications.
Any competitor who intends to pull off the course must signal his intentions by raising their hand, and must never cut across the course in front of other competitors.
A competitor who rides in a way that endangers officials, other riders or the public will be subject to immediate disqualification from the class the rider
Is participating in by the referee.
When entering or leaving the pits, a rider must use designated entrance and exit lanes. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.
When the caution flag is displayed due to an accident or mechanical problem, the downed rider must clear the track as quickly as possible if physically able.
The referee may decide the maximum number of riders who start any event. Starting riders will be those who qualify as a result from qualifying heats.
If qualifiers are required, a rider must start their designated qualifier in order to be eligible to advance to the last chance qualifier and/or main event. If a rider does not ride their designated qualifier, and it is the rider’s error, the rider must go directly to the LCQ.
Final results will be tabulated from two motos or, in the case of qualifying motos, a main event as is customary for each particular track or as announced at the rider’s meeting. Riders earn points in each moto according to their finishing positions. A rider must finish at least one moto to receive an overall finishing position.
Riders must use the same motorcycle for parade or sighting lap as the race. Parade or sighting laps are optional. If your bike breaks or the rider is injured and can’t return to starting line after a 2-minute hold, that rider will be excluded from that class for the rest of the meet. An alternate will be put in replace of that rider and will remain in the class for the rest of the meet. Due to extreme weather conditions, head official may eliminate sight lap until time permits.
POINTS SYSTEM: Points awarded per moto (or for main events in Arena cross/Supercross) are 25 points for first, 22 points for second, 20 points for third etc. (see schedule below). The rider accumulating the most points after both motos is the overall class winner. In case of a tie, the winner is the rider with the better finishing position in the final moto. In the event of qualifying heats and one final moto for outdoor events, points will be doubled for the finishing positions of the main event.

Points per moto will be based on the following point schedule:

Pos 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th 13th 14th 15th 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th	Points

Riders practicing starts after they have received the checkered flag or before practice session starts rider will start their first moto with a dead engine and their right foot placed on the ground.

20. In cases of extreme weather or other conditions which prevent the completion of the full race program, overall results may be tabulated from one moto as announced by the Promoter or AMO Representative. At local or provincial events double points will be awarded after 1 moto format. For National, Grand National, or Amateur National Events only single moto points and purse will be awarded to the finishers.

Every club, association, promoter, rider and all other persons participating in or connected with any meet are bound by these rules. Recognized regions must submit any supplementary rules to the AMO staff.
At a regional or provincial level event, a rider is not required to qualify their motorcycle and may use any motorcycle that meets the class requirements.
At the Grand National or Amateur National level, the motorcycle used in moto 1 is the qualified motorcycle and must be used for the duration of the event. If a different motorcycle is used, this will result in immediate disqualification without protest at the GNC.
At any meet, the following applies: The machine must meet the class requirement for engine size. All classes need not be run in any given event. However, all classes to be run must be listed on any advance advertisements. If there are five or more entries for any class, that class must be run. If there are more than 5 but fewer than 37 riders in each of any three consecutive classes, these classes may be run at the same time (for separate prizes). You cannot have more than 42 riders in a class. If there are fewer than five entries for any class, entries will either be advanced to the next larger displacement class or, at the discretion of the promoter and/or AMO official, be cancelled for the day.
At meets where spectator admission is charged, an entry fee may be charged in addition to the admission fee.
There shall be a qualified first aid attendant with equipment and a safety transport vehicle at all sanctioned motocross events. The referee shall not allow practice or racing to start unless the qualified first aid attendant and equipment are at the course. The fee for any ambulance trips to the nearest hospital shall be the responsibility of the injured party.

","fb100004290c6ed09c5cb4dd","RID-3","Points for Class Advancement ","

Riders riding in more than one class will have upgrade points combined for both classes.
  Beginner to Junior                10 points
Junior to Intermediate          20 points
Intermediate to Professional           40 points
Full points are awarded in classes of six or more riders. In classes of less than six riders, the winner will receive 3 points and second place will receive 1 point only. Upgrade points:

1st overall receives 5 points
2nd overall receives 3 points
3rd overall receives 2 points
4th overall receives 1 point
All upgrade points are dropped by riders accumulating fewer than these totals so that the new season is started with zero upgrade points.
All riders earning sufficient upgrade points while participating in an AMO series may remain in the same class until completion of the series at which time the license must be remitted for upgrade.
Beginner classes are considered to be PROGRESSIVE classes and are NOT recognized as Provincial or National Championship classes. Upgrade points will be awarded to Beginner riders on the day of a Regional/Provincial event, but series points will not be tabulated.
No upgrade points are awarded for Arenacross or Supercross events.
The top THREE overall finishers from all Junior and Intermediate classes at the Grand National Amateur National Championship will be automatically upgraded to a higher class the following year. Intermediates may stay if they fall under rule chapter 1(B)(1) or they don’t have enough upgrade points and their appeal is granted. If they win a championship they may not compete in that class again at the Amateur Grand National Championship.
Any rider competing in the 250 Pro/Am East/West national series that earns a national number will be automatically upgraded to the Pro ranks regardless of their total upgrade points earned at regional events in the Intermediate class, however, an appeal may be granted. If the rider falls under rule chapter 1(B)(12) he may use this option.
Any Ladies B racer who races a National Women’s event will void their regional/provincial B status and automatically upgrade to Ladies A.

2. Riders applying for an AMO competition license will be required to ride in their highest classification held in a recognized motorcycling organization. The penalty may be a denial of license and/or loss of any accumulated points.

3. Once true rider classification has been established, the rider must have the proper amount of points to transfer to the next highest classification unless otherwise arranged. Advancement points must be earned through sanctioned events to be able to race the next highest classification and advancement must be approved by AMO.

4. Protest against a rider’s classification must be made no later than 15 days prior to an amateur national. Prizes and awards will not be returned if upheld.

5. The AMO representative of any sanctioned event has the authority to upgrade individual riders according to their ability as determined by the opinion of the representative and/or the AMO Board of Directors. The upgrade of individual riders must first be approved by the AMO’s Head Office. This rating would be in effect for future
races.

6. All 85cc class riders must compete in the Junior division when competing on a 125cc two-stroke/150cc big-wheeled four-stroke machine or larger unless otherwise arranged by an AMO Regional Representative.

7. First-time riders are required to enter the Beginner division unless otherwise arranged with an AMO representative. Rider classification is based on their riding ability, not age or number of years competing.

8. Riders competing in age classes (Youth, Vet 30, Vet 40, and Vet 50) are permitted to participate in the age division one below that in which they are classified (i.e. Vet 40 rider may compete in Vet 30 division).

9. Riders competing in Veteran classes, ages 30-39, ranked as a Beginner or Junior are to compete in the Vet 30 B class.

If a rider believes he is not capable of competing successfully as a “Professional” rider, he may appeal in writing to the AMO national office, asking to be returned to the “Intermediate” class. Each case will be considered individually, and the rider will be notified of the decision in writing. Such an appeal may be submitted only once per season, and the AMO’s decision is final. Riders returned to the “Intermediate” class are only those who regional officials consider completely non-competitive in the “Professional” class. The district must take care not to return riders who will dominate the “Intermediate” class. Once returned to the “Intermediate” class, a rider again begins accumulating advancement points. A rider may return to the “Intermediate” class only once. Participation in or advancement to a higher class in any region will result in advancement to the higher class in all AMO sanctioned competition.

All riders in AMO sanctioned competition are required to be members of the AMO and their respective recognized regional organization (if required). If a membership in a rider’s home region is not required, a rider competing outside his home region shall not be required to purchase another region’s membership card unless he desires to have his points kept and be eligible for year-end awards in that region. A proper legal release must accompany each amateur or professional application. In all offroad events,
a rider must be 14 years or older to ride motorcycles above 251cc. The age of the rider is determined as of the date of the event. http://amoracing.com/2023/01/05/2023-amo-membership-is-now-open/

If any event participant or personnel are at any point while on the premise for a meet intoxicated, they may be excluded from the event and will be immediately suspended. If the night prior to the event you are under the influence to the point it will affect your judgment during the event, you may be excluded.
All riders and other race personnel must assess for themselves the track, facilities, existing conditions and other matters relating to safety. AMO cannot and does not undertake to supervise any competition. All riders and race personnel must rely on their own judgment and assume all risks of participating in competition in any manner.
Any member subject to disciplinary action by AMO shall be ineligible to participate in AMO sanctioned competition.
