- Teams will be submitted on / prior to the first show / Gymkhana of the year. If you are submitting a team form prior to the first show, only fill out the team name and members. The forms will be kept by the show secretary.
- Before the start of each show day, you will decide which three members will ride for points in which three classes and enter this information on your team form. One class per team member per show to count for points for the challenge. Once a form is filled out for the day, it cannot be changed.
