If you are currently an Alternate for the 2019 AMA National, you will NOT be issued a National Number until you are seeded into the National.

However, you may purchase blank backgrounds with the 2019 template. If you are seeded into the event, vendors will have numbers available to place on your machine.

Please familiarize yourself with the Race Procedures online.

B. ALTERNATE PROCEDURE: 

1. Alternates not entered in any other class must report to the MX Sports Welcome Center at the front gate upon arrival at the Ranch to obtain a Facility Permit. Alternates already entered in another class will receive their Facility Permit from the Front Gate Attendants outside the Welcome Center when they check-in.
2. All Alternates must attend Rider Registration and register in each class in which they are an Alternate by completing an entry form provided at registration. Only riders listed on the Alternate Rider List may register.
3. Alternates will receive their Rider Packet at registration. Alternates will receive their number assignment, race bib, and Mechanics Pass only after they are placed in the program. Alternates do not have to purchase/rent transponders until they are placed in the program.
4. Only the top 10 registered Alternates may practice with their class. If an Alternate is outside of the top 10 ranked Alternates, he should return at the end of registration to see if he has moved up into the top 10 ranking as a result of no-shows or placement of Alternates. If so, the Alternate will be issued a practice sticker. Otherwise, Alternates cannot practice and will not be permitted to race.
5. Alternates will be placed based upon a power-ranking calculated by the number of riders at the regional level, i.e., Alternates from regionals with the most riders will be given priority placement (See, Supplemental Rules). A withdrawn rider will not necessarily be replaced by an Alternate from the same regional as the withdrawn rider.
6. Alternates will not be placed until AFTER the close of registration on Monday. An Alternate List will be posted on the MX Sports Results Posting Board adjacent to the race track entrance. As Alternates are placed, their names will be added to the list. This is an all-day process and will continue until the first moto of each class. Alternates should monitor this posted list closely. Once your name appears on the list report immediately to the MX Sports Race Office to receive a number assignment, race bib, and Mechanics Pass.
7. Once a class is full, no further Alternates can be placed unless a seeded rider withdraws from the program prior to the start of the first moto of that class, or if a seeded rider fails to report to the Start Line for the first moto. However, after the first moto of a class is run, no Alternates can be placed in that class. We strongly urge seeded riders to withdraw if they are not able to race their first moto in a class. Riders that can be replaced with an Alternate will receive a refund of their race entry fee.
8. Alternate Staging: A staging area for Alternates will be positioned adjacent to the MX Sports Race Office.  The first 2 Alternates in a class are encouraged to report to the Alternate Staging Area race ready two motos before the first moto of their class.  In the event a gate is available for the first moto, Alternates will be placed and a race number and bib will be assigned.  It is not necessary that the bike number correspond with the assigned number for the first moto due to time constraints.  The bike number should be crossed out with black tape if it does not correspond to the assigned number.
9. Riders not selected as an Alternate will be refunded their race entry fee. Facility fees will not be refunded if the Alternate attended the event. Refunds will be processed after the event and mailed by September 15^th. No refunds will be issued at the event.
