Winnebagoland Team Rules

This is intended to replace the hearsay rules that have been in existence for many years. We spoke with several past track directors to get the information for this form. These rules are intended to keep the team managers, track directors and riders in agreement on the running of teams. This is intended to eliminate any claims of favoritism. We expect everyone to read and understand the rules. If any team manager has suggestions to improve the competition in a positive manner, please let us know.

Team managers will receive a copy of these rules; a signed copy will be retained by registration.

Team managers are to promote a positive attitude towards all riders. We will not tolerate team captains or team riders heckling riders from other teams or other riders.

When switching teams, there is a 30-day waiting period for riders on a nationally ranked team.

When switching teams during the season there is a 2-week waiting period for all other riders.

A team roster must be made out at the start of each New Year. This form must be signed and dated by the team captain and the track director. A team roster must be turned in prior to turning in a team sheet. At the start of a new year riders may switch teams without having to wait the 2 weeks. This switch must be done prior to handing in the first roster.

When adding or removing a rider from a roster the team manager of both teams and track director must date and initial the change in the roster.

The managers of the 2 teams must be in agreement of the rider change.

You may enter up to 2 teams however only 1 sheet will count. If a team has 2 different teams (i.e.: A & B) then 2 different rosters must be filled out.

Team members must be on “A” or “B” team roster.

Each team must have 4 different entries, 5 with an optional girl. The exception to this rule is if a team does not have the minimum number of riders present, then the team captain may place fewer riders on the team sheet.

Team entries must be a legitimate team

You may use the same rider on 2 different teams. It must be a different class such as open class, regular class, etc. (A rider may be on “A” team for class and “B” team for cruiser but the rider must be listed as such on team rosters.)

You must designate the class you are using for each rider.

Your team entry must be turned in to scoring prior to the first gate drop.

Team managers paying race fees must have the money turned in to registration prior to the first gate drop.

Teams riding the parade lap will show respect towards the flag. This is not a time for showing off riding tricks. Track directors reserve the right to stop a parade lap or prohibit a team from participating in a parade lap if riders demonstrate poor behavior.

Riders not participating in the parade lap will show respect during the parade lap, no talking, getting gear on or ignoring the National anthem.

Team captains may not protest a call on the track. It is the responsibility of the rider to approach the nearest track official where the offense occurred and discuss it within 10 motos.

Team finishes will be announced. 1 representative from the team may approach scoring at the conclusion of a race to turn in the team copy of the team sheet.

When a team wins a first place the team captain may come into registration and request a 1^st place trophy. The trophy will be the same as the riders 1^st place trophy.

We reserve the right to eliminate team participation at Winnebagoland BMX. Teams not abiding by the rules, or exhibit unsportsmanlike behavior may be disqualified.
