[b]USRA rules[/b]

Move-Up Points as defined in the (USRA) Utah Sportsman Riders Association rule book

1. Move-up to the next higher class will only occur [B]prior to the first race of the year.[/B] The only exception will be if the Competition Committee feels the rider truly belongs in a higher <-my opinion of what the intent of this rule is about--skill level-> class, they may move that rider.

2. Move-Up points will be accrued during the year as follows:
   1st Overall=4 points
   2nd Overall=3 points
   3rd Overall=2 points
   4th Overall=1 point
The number of points needed to cause a rider to be moved to a higher class the next year are:
  A. Junior/C = 48 total points---or 32 points total plus four first place finishes.
  B. Intermediate = 72 points total---or 48 points total plus four first place finishes.
     [B] 1. An intermediate will not be moved up to Pro for a minimum of two calendar years unless deemed necessary by the Competition Committee.[/B]
  C. At all events full points are awarded in classes of 5 or more riders, in classes of less than 5, only the winner will receive the one point.
  D. [B]All riders retain move-up points at the end of each calendar year. The move-up points will carry from year to year and accumulate until the rider moves to a higher skill level.
  E. Beginners will be moved to the Junior class when they finish in the top 33+1/3% --after one race.[/B]

Hope this helps :)
