Rulebooks

by

All New England Trials Association rulebooks from 2003 to now. There were no rulebooks for 2007 & 2008 in the archives. They may have been misplaced or another possibility is the 2006 rulebooks was used for three years because no rule changes were made for those years. During the COVID pandemic, the 2020 season was cancelled. The 2020 rulebook was used for the 2021 season.

Youth Committee

by

📣 Exciting News 📣 Volunteers Needed!

In an effort to attract and develop more youth riders in our sport, NETA has decided to form a youth committee. This committee will work together to design, coordinate and implement a 2023 Youth Championship series. We will be heading up this committee and need the help of other willing NETA members to make it a success. Working together as a team, we are confident this will bring more youth and life into our club than we have seen in many years. All interested NETA members please reach out to Jeff & Kelly Dorman ASAP so planning can get underway.

Thank you!

2022 NETA Championship Standings

by

Based on your feedback, several corrections were made to the 2022 NETA Championship Standings. To determine finishing positions for this season, all riders without a work credit or riding non-compete have been removed and the standings have been “reindexed”.

The reindexed standings are in 2022 NETA Championship Standings (Reindexed). The grayed out score denotes a rider’s throw away event. Reindexing produced changes in the Senior Intermediate, Intermediate, Senior A & Senior B classes. Ties in Senior Intermediate & Intermediate were resolved using the totaled scores for events where both riders competed.

The reindexed standings show the finishing positions for the season. These standings will be considered final after November 15th. Award plaques will be ordered soon after that for the awards banquet which will be held sometime in January 2023.

Please contact me if you have questions or find mistakes.
