2011 VICTORIAN MOTO-TRIALS SERIES 

Welcome to the 2011 Victorian Moto-Trials series! 

Key points:
•	You must enter at least 4 rounds to be eligible for the Series awards
•	Best 4 rounds out of 5 will be awarded Series points
•	Both the Entry and Indemnity forms are required for each event
•	Expert and A-grade riders timed to 90 second rule.
New for 2011 – Work a round for Series Points
•	If your club requires extra help on the day (Observer, Scorekeeper etc) you can elect to work one of the rounds of the Victorian Moto-Trials Series that your club hosts (rather than ride) and you will be credited with series points equal to the highest series point score you achieved throughout the series. You must have your name registered with your club prior to Round 1.
•	This initiative is intended to spread the event administration load further across the Moto-Trials community and minimise competition penalties on event administrators.
•	Juniors will not be allocated worker points (we want them riding).
Green Name Plates for Expert Riders
Expert lines being denoted by green section markers is now accepted practice. For consistency and ease of observing, riders entering the Expert class will be required to display a green nameplate.
Blue Name Plates for Classic & Twinshock Riders
C-Grade lines will be set suitable for Classic & Twinshock machines. For consistency and ease of observing, riders entering the Classic & Twinshock class will be required to display a blue nameplate.
Junior Development becomes Rider Development
By popular demand, and building on its own success, the Junior Development program has been expanded to include riders of all ages and so has been renamed “Rider Development”. Note that Rider Development is open to those entered in the associated event only.
GRADES, NAMEPLATE COLOURS, TROPHIES AND SERIES POINTS
Nameplate	Class		Nameplate	Class

A Class must be constituted at four rounds to be considered for Series awards. 
A Class (except Sidecar) with less than three entries at a round may be combined with another class.
Class riders must hold “full” licences to be eligible for awards, I.e. a licence other than REC. 
Eg.  if there are fewer than four Expert entries at a round of the series, Expert will be combined with A-grade. Experts will ride the Expert line, A-Graders will ride the A-Grade line. No Expert Trophies or series points will be awarded for that round, A-Grade trophies and series points will be awarded
Note that trophies may not be prepared for grades having fewer than four pre-entries.
Encourage your friends and rivals to enter to make sure your class is included in the points!
PRE-ENTRIES ENCOURAGED 
To encourage pre-entry in an effort to reduce the load on event administrators, pre-entry fees will be cheaper than on-the-day entries.
Both the Entry and Indemnity forms are required for each event – the forms require you to fill in the number of the round for which you are entering.  
Catering will be provided at all events. Please support the people who are supporting you.
