The sub does not collect individual points however the team may collect points if the team finishes accordingly.

2025 YEAR-END AWARDS & POINT SYSTEM

  • To qualify to ride on the Finals weekend. You must have ridden at 5 (five) prior ATCPS shows.


  • The Open HC individual points will be calculated on an average of their team points and divided by the total number of teams they enter in the open that day. For Example: If you collect 300 points and ride 12 times your average would be 25 points. If you collect 100 points and ride 3 times, your average would be 33 points.


  • Draw teams rules will apply.


  • The final weekend will be considered a non-sanctioned jackpot weekend with no points awarded; however, you must still qualify to ride the finals weekend. (5 (five) Prior ATCPS Shows, plus individual classes)


  • The point calculation system will be for both individual and team and will be determined prior to the first show weekend. Points will be calculated using all shows up to and including the final sanctioned show on August 10, 2025 for both team and individuals.


  • The top 2 teams in the Open HC, Ten, Eight, and Five will be awarded year-end prizes. 


  • Maximum of the top 5 individuals in the Open HC, Ten, Eight, and Five will be awarded year end prizes however, depending on the subscription of riders to the class over the course of the year, the number of individual prizes may be reduced to less than 5, including the youth classes.
