Any division that has 100 or more teams will be double points.

Any contestant can earn points in any sanctioned class in which they are eligible to ride. The Masters will be a class of its own throughout the year and those points will be kept separately. The points will be awarded throughout the year to give contestants who compete in RSNC events an advantage going to the National Finals. The top 20 contestants in each category, from each State, will enter the finals with 20 to 1 points respectively.

The Top 20 from each division, in each State will be eligible for year end awards.

A contestant throughout the year can earn points in any State, but will represent the State in which they live.

In the event that the contestant’s rating is changed, his/her points will be carried with him/her to the next division unless moving those points improves the contestants standing in the points race. In this case only the points that will put the contestant in the same standing as the division prior will be carried over. Example: A Novice has 50 points, is in Fourth place and is moved to the Amateur division. The Fourth place Amateur has 30 points. In this case the Novice being moved can only transfer 30 of his/her 50 points to the Amateur division, tying with the Fourth place Amateur. However, every contestant that graduates from Novice to Amateur or Amateur to Open is automatically qualified for the Finals with a minimum of 20 points.
