The MMBA will also present a
team trophy to the top team. The winning team will receive an engraved trophy
to be displayed by the team until the completion of the following year's race
season. The trophy is then passed along to the winner of the following race
season. The team trophy fosters a sense of teamwork, and not simply riding for
one's individual benefit.
The MMBA will also award the
title "Master of Mud" and "Duchess of Dirt" to the fastest overall male and
female and these individuals will race for free during the following season.
The titles will typically go to the top expert/single speed men and women
riders. To be eligible for the title, however, the expert/single speed rider
must complete at least four MMBA Points Series races. If there is no eligible
expert/single speed rider, the title will go to the fastest sport rider. If
there is no eligible sport rider, the title will go to the fastest novice
rider. For example, at the end of the season the top expert and sport women
riders have each completed three MMBA races, while the top novice women rider
has finished in seven MMBA races. Neither the expert nor sport riders are
eligible for the "Duchess of Dirt" title, and therefore the title will go to
the novice rider.
Due to the addition of the Single Speed category for
the 2006 season, the overall Duchess and Master championship award will be
calculated as follows: For each race, the top ten male and female Expert and
Single Speed racers will be awarded points using the above table based on their
finish times at each race. At the end of the season, the male and female with
the most points, will be awarded the Duchess and Master title. In the event of
a tie, the riders will be ranked in the order of their greatest number of
highest place finishes, using as many scores as necessary to break the tie.
In past years, the "Master of Mud" and "Duchess of Dirt" titles have
been awarded to:
2005 Alan Starrett, Mary
Longhofer
2004 Alan Starrett, Olivia
Goldfine
2003 Andrew Freye, Emmy
Monahan
2002 Michael Vose, Mary
