1. A rider’s age on January 1 will determine his or her age for the year.  However, a rider may move to the next higher age class if he or she will be eligible to do so at any time during the year, but once a rider moves to the higher age class, he or she may not move back to the lower age class.  Riders are encouraged to determine at the beginning of the championship points season which age class they will participate in for the championship point’s season/year.  Championship points earned in a lower age class will not transfer to the higher age class.
2. Moving up a class (for example; riding a 50 in the 65 class or a 65 in an 85 class) will not be allowed for safety reasons.
3. MMS recognizes “A” as expert, “B” as Amateur and “C” as novice.  A novice “C” must earn 25 promotional points to become an amateur “B”.  An amateur “B” must earn 100 points to become an Expert “A”.  Exception; 65cc B to A and 125 Youth B to Youth A must earn 50 points and Youth A must earn another 50 points to become a full expert “A”.  A youth rider does not have to become full expert until he or she turns 16 years old.  To become full expert under the age of 16 requires a notarized letter requesting this signed by the rider and his or her parent or legal guardian.  Vet experts will be considered full experts.
4. The class that you ride in is first determined by the size of the bike you will be riding, your age and then by your rider classification; A, B or C.   X-Riders from other associations or organizations must ride the same classification with MMS as they do their own organization.  Exception:  NEMA – classifications are youth A, B or C.
5. The 50 cc Pee Wee class is for the 1^st year racer on the smallest bike the manufacturer makes.  This class is free for the racer.  If competeting in this class a rider is not allowed to compete on any bike larger than a 50cc.  The rider is allowed to compete in this class for 1 year.  If the riders year is up in the middle of a series, that rider will be allowed to finish the series.  The top 3 of the series must promote to their appropriate 50cc age class for the next series.
6. Rider classification changes made within other organizations must be reported in writing to the MMS within 10 days of the change.  Failure to notify MMS within 10 days will result in disqualification.
7. You must ride in the highest rider classification that you have held or hold in any organization or events past or present.  This includes independent events as well.  So, if you are or were an expert or pro-expert in AMA, NESC, District 34, etc. then you ride in MMS as an expert.
8. Youth riders in other organizations (NEMA, AMA) in the 125cc class will be allowed to race as an Amateur to maintain their amateur status.  It is the rider’s responsibility to show proof of his or her “Youth” classification before entering an event.
9. Vet riders must ride the same skill level classes in non-Vet classes as they do in the Vet Class.
