AMA OFF-ROAD RESULTS CENTER AND RIDER ADVANCEMENT 2015 UPDATE
Beginning in 2015 the AMA Off-Road Advancement System has been updated to help to simplify the
requirement that all AMA Sanctioned Off-Road Organizers submit results of their meets. In the past we
needed the results to be manipulated into an overall C and B format. We realized that this was a big
undertaking for organizers who did not have or use a computerized scoring system that had the
capability to re-sort the results into an overall finish format.
We do listen to you and we have implemented a new advancement system where all we need is your
meet results in the normal class finish format and we will map your classes over to our system. The class
results from your meet will serve two functions, first it will populate the national results center where
your riders can look online to see how they have done over time and against their fellow competitors
and they will drive the national advancement system. You and your riders may view their results and
classification at: http://results.americanmotorcyclist.com/results/category/offroadracing
It is required of all AMA sanctioned off-road organizers to submit the complete class results of their
meet to the AMA. The rider information must include First Name, Last Name, AMA #, City, State, Birth
Date, Bike Brand. The birth date is needed to help to identify a rider if there is an error in their AMA # or
other information. Please export them as an Excel file using the column headings listed below in the
Example.

Here are the new advancement system details from the 2015 AMA Racing Rulebook:
A.
Riders and Classifications
1. Riders are responsible to enter only classes in which they are eligible. See Chapter 5 for the
penalty.
2. If a rider is advanced by one series and is still competing in another series, the rider is permitted
to finish out the second series in the class in which they started. A rider must enter their new
advanced class in any meets entered after the advancement.
3. The AMA, on the basis of participation and achievement in district-level competition, shall
classify riders unless otherwise provided by AMA rules. Rider classification shall be as follows:
4. Participation in or advancement to a higher class in any AMA or non-AMA Off-Road meet by any
rider will result in permanent advancement to that higher class in all AMA-sanctioned Off-Road
competition. Off-Road racers will ride all off-road meets in the highest classification earned. OffRoad includes Enduro, Hare Scrambles, Desert Scrambles, Grand Prix, Cross Country, Hare and
Hound and like type meets.
5. Off-Road National Advancement System
a. Riders will receive advancement points for participation in all AMA-sanctioned enduro, hare
scrambles, desert scrambles, cross country, grand prix, hare and hound (or any similar
activity) meets. AMA riders advance from one classification to the next through their
successful participation in AMA-sanctioned meets.
b. Advancement points will be calculated from Dec. 1st to Nov. 30th each year. Riders will be
advanced effective Jan. 1st of the following year.
c. Riders between the ages of 12 and 15 on Nov. 30th riding the B classification shall not be
forced into the A classification regardless of how many B races or advancement points
he/she has. Riders in this age group may advance based on their own ability/competence.
d. In series’ that roll over into a new year, riders must begin the series in the classification they
will compete in during the new year. A rider can't continue racing their classification from
the previous year if they are no longer eligible as of Jan. 1.
6. Off-Road Performance Value (ORPV)
To be considered for advancement a rider must have a minimum of six points-paying finishes
within the rider’s classification. Race results that have a DNF, DNS overall finish or zero
advancement points will not be used for calculating a rider’s advancement ORPV.
7. “B” Classification Advancement
All B riders carrying an ORPV of 15 or higher at year-end will be advanced to the A classification.
8.
“C” Classification Advancement
a. All C riders carrying an ORPV of 15 or higher at year-end will be advanced to the B
classification.
b. The following criteria are to be used when determining a rider’s eligibility for the C
classification:

(1) No rider is to be classified as a C rider if that rider had an ORPV of 15 or higher the
previous year in the C classification.
(2) No rider is to be classified as a C rider if that rider has ever been classified as an A rider.
(3) No rider is to be classified as a C rider if that rider is receiving or has ever received any
type of OEM factory support in any classification. (Excluding OEM contingency and
trackside support)
(4) If a rider doesn't meet any of the above criteria, they may not participate in the C
classification if they have raced C the previous two calendar years and have an ORPV of
11. 0 or higher.
9. Riders who race in MX and Off-Road (Enduro, Hare Scrambles, Hare & Hound, etc.) and have
different classifications in each type of racing may not vary more than one level.
10. ATV & Motorcycle Rider classifications are not considered the same. Riders must achieve
their classification in each separately.

Example: A rider has 10 B class entries and earns 130 advancement points. To calculate the ORPV,
divide the total number of entries by the points earned. 130 / 10 = 13. This rider has an ORPV of 13
which would not advance him to A as the required advancement ORPV is 15.
