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!

UPDATE: We plan to use Google Sheets for scoring. Being cloud based, it will allow anyone with a smart phone to see the scores throughout the day. Click here to access the spreadsheet.

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.
