Scoring

WORRA uses MOTOTALLY as it's primary scoring system. All racers must buy a one time scoring transponder. Transponder should be placed on helmet under visor.

Hare scramble format will be up to two hours plus one lap. Official race format will be announced on race flyers. Duration may be shorter depending on conditions and is at the discretion of hosting club. Race ends on the overall leader. Hare & hounds may be timed or a number of loops for completion. Race will end with the overall leader.

A one hour protest period will begin immediately following the last racer finishing. Cash and trophies will be awarded after this period if no protests appear. Protest's must be made in writing to the scoring official. In the event of a protest backup scoring systems (video and/or paper) will be investigated and solution found.  

Points

Points will only be tallied for WORRA members. To be eligible for year end awards points earner must race in at least three (3) races. Racers will drop lowest point race. First tie breaker goes to racer entering the most races. Second tie breaker goes to the racer completing the most laps of the last three races. Third tie breaker goes to the race that gives the best compliments to WORRA staff.

Class Move up points:

Advancement by the Mark-up system is a way of moving riders in a lower class up to an appropriate class and skill level based on a racers finished during the season, rather than the number of points accumulated at year end.
Riders are moved according to their ability and success, rather than the number of races participated in. Riders are responsible for monitoring their own markup points and advancing to the next class at the appropriate time. WORRA officials reserve the ability to advance any rider they feel overly dominant in a class.
1. Riders in all Novice classes will be required to move up to the Intermediate class after earning 25 mark up points on the season.
2. Riders in all Intermediate classes will be required to move up to the Expert class after earning 28 mark up points on the season.
3. There is no mark up from any Expert classes to Pro. WORRA recognizes the Pro class as the premier class complete with payouts and is a voluntary advancement after at least one (1) season as an Expert within WORRA or holds a Pro designation from any other off-road or motocross series.
4. How well a rider finishes in each competition will determine the number of mark-up points acquired.
Mark up points are awarded to the top 5 places in all Novice and Intermediate classes.
5. Mark up points will only be awarded if there are more than 5 riders present in the class for all classes. This is to ensure riders are not pre-maturely marking up due to low class numbers.
6. Schedule of Mark-up Points per RACE: · 1st place 5 points · 2nd place 4 points · 3rd place 3 points · 4th place 2 points · 5th place 1 points · 6th place 1 points · 7th place 1 point
7. After each race, points will be added together. When racers have accumulated the required number of markup points, they will be moved up to the next class. This will be reviewed at the end of a race season.
8. Riders cannot move themselves up during the season to start acquiring the points in the higher class without forfeiting all points in the lower class.
9. All races attended by a racer are scored. There are no end of season race drops at this time. This is for mark up points only this does not affect race series points.
10. Mark ups will not be carried over from season end to the following year.
11. WORRA reserves the right to advance any rider at any time if the rider is outperforming the rest of the competition in a particular class. WORRA may also move a rider down if he/she is not competitive at that level or is creating a hazard for other riders. WORRA reserves the right to make final decisions on all disputes concerning rider classification and move up timing. WORRAs decision will be carefully considered and will be final. Championship points from previous race(s) will be averaged with offsetting races being completed in the appropriate class.
12. Any Novice Open class series riders from the previous year must advance one level from the class they won at the end of the year, even if they did not mark out during that year, and those riders cannot compete in the class they just won. If any rider feels they cannot safely move to a Intermediate Open class,  they may discuss with the referee or WORRA official, final determination of class placement will be made by a WORRA official.
13. Any Novice class rider who dominates in his field but does not qualify for year end position may be subject to advancement by a WORRA offical to the Intermediate class for the following season.
14. Riders advancing from the Junior series to the Big Bike series are allowed to drop a class as needed (Example: An Intermediate Junior may race in the Novice Open class when they transition up in bike size)
Worker Points:

1. Worker points are only awarded to WORRA members that are also active members of a WORRA sanctioned club. Before any worker points are scored on end of season points, sitting WORRA sanctioned club president will approve the request.
2. Worker points will be scored at the end of each race season and will be a 120% average of the riders top three finishes on the season. It is necessary that a rider must also have at least 3 races scored at the end of the season for eligibility.
3. Competitors are only eligible to receive worker points for one race per year and that race must be one in which their club hosted.
4. In the event that two competitors finish the season tied in points, a competitor that has worked a race we be awarded the higher rank

Course markings:

In general "course" is 25' either side of stake, ribbon or any other marking.  A "gate" consists of 2 stakes, one on either side of trail or course. Racers are required to pass through between the 2 markings.  For 2020 WORRA and supporting clubs will fall in line with the Caselli Foundations course marking protocols.  Follow this link and become familiar with the system:      https://www.kurtcaselli.com/course-marking-guide
