What does "1-1-2" (or
some other combination) mean on my moto sheet?
This gives you the number of riders that will
transfer out of each of your three motos into the semi or main
event. In this instance, the first place finisher in the first moto
will transfer directly to the semi or main (1 rider). The first
place finisher from the second moto will transfer to the semi or
main (1 rider). And the first and second place finishers in the
third moto will transfer directly into the semi or main (2 riders).
The first number corresponds to how many riders transfer out of the
first moto; the second number corresponds to how many riders
transfer out of the second moto; the third number corresponds to how
many riders transfer out of the third moto.
What does
"1-1-combine 4" on my moto sheet mean?
This means that your class has a total of 9
riders in it. This means that the first place riders from the first
and second motos will transfer directly into the main event from
each of the two groups. For the third moto, the remaining riders who
have not yet qualified from the two groups of riders will be
COMBINED into a single moto of 5 riders. From that final moto, the
top 4 finishers will transfer into the main.
I
have a main event, but there were no gate numbers for my main posted on
the moto sheet. How do I know what gate I will have in my main?
Because there were two groups for your moto,
we could not pre-determine the main gate numbers for each rider
because duplication might occur between the riders from the two
groups who advance to the main. The stager will tell you what gate
you have. If you are unsure, ask the track official in the staging
area when your main is called.
My moto sheet says
"total points" where it usually has the transfer breakdown.
What does this mean?
This means that your moto only has 3 riders.
This is the ONLY instance when you will race all three of your
motos, regardless of where you finish in each moto. This is also the
ONLY instance when your moto will not have a main event. The three
motos you race will ALL be counted to determine awards placement.
Also, your third moto will be run during the main events rather than
in the third set of motos.
There are no gate
numbers for my third moto, but there are gate numbers in the "main
event" column. What does this mean?
This means that your class has 3 riders. (see
above answer)
How do I know how many
awards are given for my moto?
The number of awards given for a class depends
on the total number of riders in that class (not just your single
moto) at the beginning of the night. Awards may also vary
depending on the type of event. For example, single point
Friday night events use the following award structure:
If your class had 3
riders, 1 trophy will be awarded.
If your class had 4-5
riders, 2 trophies will be
awarded.
If your class had 6-8
riders, 3 trophies will be
awarded.
If your class had 9 or
more riders, 4 trophies will be
awarded.
Why do some riders
have a single letter on their plate?
If there were duplicate plate numbers in a
single moto, one of the duplicate numbered riders will receive a
letter to place over their plate in staging – this rider’s
number will also be replaced by the same letter on the moto sheet.
(This letter assignment is for that event only – it can be removed
once that event is over). This eliminates the problem duplicate
numbers creates in scoring.
Will the mains be
posted separate from the regular moto sheets?
The mains WILL NOT be posted separate from the
regular moto sheets. It is important that you pay attention to the
transfer system to know if you qualified for your main event. If
your moto has a main event, your gate number for the main will
either be posted on the original moto sheet or you will receive your
main gate number when you are in staging for your main event.
Will the semi’s be
posted separate from the regular moto sheets?
The semi’s WILL NOT be posted separate from
the regular moto sheets. It is important that you pay attention to
the transfer system to know if you qualified for your semi. Your
gate number for your semi will be determined by a drawing at the
gate during your semi.
