AHSCS uses color number plates to identify classes. Failure to comply will result in not being scored. Temporary correct color number plates will be available at signup.

AHSCS will use Advancement Percentiles to determine rider placement. The following describes how Advancement Percentiles work.

AHSCS uses MotoTally scoring software which allows for categorizing riders into classes based on speed. When a race has been completed the top riders speed will be averaged. That average speed will be the 100% baseline all other riders will be compared to for that race. The average of all completed lap times of all riders will be compared to this 100% to determine every rider’s percentile. Using a simple example; if 100% for that race is a 24 MPH average and a rider’s average speed was 21 MPH then that rider’s percentile is 87.5. This system enables similar speeds to be grouped together.
A percentile range is assigned to each class name. Class names are unnecessary but used to help riders pick the correct class. After each race, all riders will be evaluated to see if their percentile is in the range for that class. Going above a percentile range is called “breaking out”. To allow for fluctuations, a break out system has been developed. Each breakout point is recognized and stored. When a rider breaks out a total of 10 points, the rider will move up. One example would be a rider who does not enter the correct class and breaks out by 10 points on the first race. A second example would be a rider who breaks out two points over five races. Once a rider has completed six races, for that season, the rider will remain in that class unless the rider chooses to move up.
If a rider is moved up the rider can carry points to the new class. This is done by evaluating the overall results for a given race and then determining where a rider would have finished had they been in that class on that day. An example would be a rider who finished 1st in B and would have finished 4th in A. 4th Place points will be awarded as the carry up points. This is carefully done so that no riders in the upper class are bumped down by the move up and no riders in the lower class move up because of the vacancy. In the example above, the results will now reflect the first place position was vacated and the two 4th place positions in the A class for that race.
If a rider is moved down, the points carry in the same fashion. A rider who wants to move down can submit his request to the series official. Percentile results will be evaluated to determine if the rider should be moved. A rider who can not reach the minimum speed for his class can be moved down, after the rider completes a total of three races.
