Our scoring system can be seen below. Because we have a variety of riders and tests from the US and Canada, we can’t guarantee that your division would have more than one person in it. Therefore, unless you ride in one of our hosted shows, you are not placed based on other riders’ scores, you are competing against yourself.
If you are a member of BDS, you can earn year end points with every test you ride! The points you earn accumulate for year end prizes (given to our top 10 riders in December of each year).
