Individual Points: Points toward the MMBA Points Series championship will be awarded to the top 10 riders in each race category and age group. To be eligible for championship points, a rider must complete the specified race course. Every race will count toward the MMBA Points Series championship in each category and age group, although only the best six (or less) out of eight events will be applied toward overall championship points. For example, if a rider races all eight races, the two lowest scores will be dropped. If a rider races seven races, the lowest score will be dropped. If a rider misses a race, the rider will not score for that event. If a rider upgrades a category, only half of the points earned will be applied to the category the rider upgrades to because all categories earn the same number of points. For example, if a rider upgrades from novice to sport during the season, only half of the points earned as a novice will be applied to the series sport championship. If a rider moves down a category, he or she cannot take points earned to the lower category. For example, if a rider moves down from junior men expert to junior men sport half way during the season, none of the points earned as a junior men expert will be applied to the series junior men sport championship.

The rider who earns the most points in the MMBA Point Series for his or her race category and age group will be awarded the series title for that category and age group. To be eligible for the top-three year-end championship award in his or her category and age group, a rider must have completed at least four MMBA race events. 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. For example, at the end of the season two riders are tied for third place in the sport category, ages 27-34. Comparing their scores for the season, both have posted scores for their second place finishes, and two third-place finishes. However, the first riders' next best placing is a fifth place, while the second rider has a fourth place recorded. Thus, the second rider wins third place in the sport category, ages 27-34 championship.

Points System Graph

Team Points: Points will also be awarded to teams. Every race will count toward the MMBA Point Series team championship by accumulating the total points awarded to the team's: (1) best expert rider, either male or female; (2) two best sport riders, either male or female; and (3) two best novice riders, either male or female. One of the five riders must be a female, otherwise the lowest score will be dropped. For team points purposes, junior expert men will be considered expert men, junior sport men will be considered sport men, junior novice men will be considered novice men, and junior open women will be considered novice women. In the event of a tie, the teams will be ranked in the order of their greatest number of highest points earned in the MMBA race events, using as many scores as necessary to break the tie.
