This year NETA is trying something different for event awards in 2024. Central Arizona Trials gives out little plates at each event that attach to a larger plaque and NETA plans follow suit. At each event a small plate with the event, finishing position, class & date will be given out at the awards ceremony.
Riders have the option of purchasing a larger plaque to attach the plates to. Plates will be given out to attendees of the trials school and at fun events in addition to NETA Championship events. The plaque will have plenty of space for riders to attach the plates that they accumulate throughout the event season.
- These awards will reduce the awards cost for clubs by $500-$700 per event.
- NETA will supply the event plates to the clubs at no cost. The clubs can give out additional trophies if they wish. Traditional trophies are recommended for Youth riders.
- Additionally NETA will still be giving out year end plaques to those who qualify! Best of all, year end awards are given out to qualifying riders for 1st-10th place. All you have to do is ride a minimum of one event and work at least one event to qualify for a year end award!
The plaques for can be purchased by completing the order form below. They will be made after the order is placed and brought to a future NETA event for pickup.
It looks like a good idea. Definitely saving the club a lot of money. And clubs can still give out other sorts of awards if they want to. I’m thinking about giving out something extra with the event information on it, if we can afford to do it.
This is a great idea. I am all for saving the clubs some money, if it means more events in the future. It also seems like it will be less stressful for the event runners in regard to planning. Plus if people do not want a plaque, they can choose not to purchase one, and apply their plates to what ever they choose. Very cool.
This is a great idea!
It saves the clubs money, keeps Chinese made plastic junk out of our landfills and is a hell of a lot easier to dust than 8 or so plastic trophies with a motocross bike on them!
Thank you for making it easy for everybody!
The world has changed from “you need to earn your trophy” to “everyone gets a trophy” and now to “nobody gets one without a credit card” ? I remember better days than these,,,
These should work nicely
