Dates for US Nationals, 2003
HOME.
The NATC meeting in Denver has thus far announced the following dates for the 2003 Season. There will be 13 Rounds in the US Series... a significant increase over the 10 held in the 2002 season. A new format will apply at a couple of the events. The El Trial weekend will also cover rounds 1 & 2 of the 2003 Nationals. The El Trial, for the Champs, will be a points scoring round (round #2). The same scoring rules will therefore apply for the El Trial as every other National.
The NATC will instigate the same rule changes as the FIM (see www.worldtrials.info). In brief, sideways movement and stopping will be allowed. Backwards movement is not permitted, and will cost 5 points.
