Only fully paid up members will receive championship points Grades A, B , C and pre 70/77 will get at least 3 races each per meeting except for the 250 and 500cc races which will get one race each per meeting. Riders on pre 70 machines get points in the pre 77 class as well as this is a combined race. A rider in the Pre70/77 race will only have one set of points awarded towards the Winston Norwood Trophy.

He does not have to be at the race meeting to drop that round. In the event of a tie-break, it will be resolved by the highest previous results until the matter is resolved. Change of machine or number will be allowed as long as the clerk of the course and timekeepers are notified prior to the race start. The clerk of the course decision is final.
