Do I read it correctly from this season club press officers will need an SCB licence? I know photographers needed official permission in past but now it seems as if the wordsmiths will need a permit too. Hopefully, this will rein in some of the worst excesses sometimes seen in the past.

Some highlighted modifications :

If any part of the dirt deflector system during racing or practice becomes displaced, detached or fails in any way so that the dirt 47 deflector is not fitted in a proper manner, the rider concerned will be immediately disqualified from the heat or practice run. If it happens when the rider is hit by another rider or during any racing incident no disqualification will be applied.

The rear end of the wheel adjusters must be covered with either a metal covering or a form of plastic tube. It is illegal for the exposed thread at the end of the adjuster to be visible.

The hard rev-limit must be set to 13,500 rpm. A soft limiter is recommended before the hard limit. The SCB allows a 300 rpm tolerance based on the hard rev limit of 13,500 rpm. The SCB Technical Advisor or his appointed team can at any time during the event install a rev counter on the machine, mounted to the frame and connected to the ignition coil/engine or check the maximum engine revolutions with computer/software connected to the digital ignition system.

From 2025 homologated silencers for 250cc and 500cc must be dated 2022 or newer.

Transponders must be fitted for all Premiership and Championship competitions. It is the riders responsibility to ensure they are charged and fitted. The transponder should be located in the rear pocket of the fork cover.

Inflatable APD’s must be inspected 7 years after installation, thereafter annually by the SCB Track Inspectors, to certify that it remains fit for purpose up to a maximum of 10 years. Non-inflatable APD’s will be inspected during the 3 yearly Homologation Inspection.

It is compulsory for an SCB or FIM approved random starting system to be fitted and used.

Only in extreme weather conditions, a stabliser may be placed on the track to support the tapes. Additionally, a licenced Track Official must 64 have the sole responsibility to remove this device immediately after the start of the race.

CQC (Care Quality Commission) registration is recommended for 2025. This will become compulsory as soon as the Government mandate it and the SCB will advise Promotions accordingly.

A NDT rider, who is not in a NDT Team Declaration, will be given an Established MA after completing 4 meetings, irrespective of being home or away in any official team competition.

Once a rider Guests for a team in a League Play Off Semi Final they cannot guest for ANY OTHER team in any other League Play Off Semi Final or Final

a heat result once declared by the Referee cannot be changed

NL & NDT A team may include 1 rider who has previously achieved an MA above 4.00 to a maximum of 6.00 (inclusive) in the Championship League (prior to the 2024 season) who is not declared in a Championship or Premiership Team Declaration. If that rider is then declared in a Championship or Premiership Team Declaration the NDL/NDT club will have 28 days to replace that rider from the date of the Championship/Premiership declaration.

A National Development League fixture takes priority over a National Development Trophy fixture.

A rider can Guest at a track on 2 occasions (in each league NDL and NDT), this must be for 2 different teams. This does not include unattached 3.00 point riders eligible for the NDL/NDT.

014.2 BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI FINAL 014.2.1 Ranking List At the conclusion of the previous season, the BSP will compile a Ranking List of eligible riders who have competed in the British Premiership and or British Championship Leagues. A rider’s position on the Ranking List will be determined by their final Premiership League MA. Should a rider have a Championship Average only, then this will be converted by the applicable factor to give a Premiership League equivalent

"Once a rider Guests for a team in a League Play Off Semi Final they cannot guest for ANY OTHER team in any other League Play Off Semi Final or Final"

So, if Bomber Guests for Scunthorpe in a CL PO S/F he cannot Guest for Leicester in a PL PO S/F??

You're not suggesting the Regs are full of holes are you?

[Vic Meldrew]

Why is there no regulation stipulating that Bomber can only guest for one team per season?
