You must enter the first and last name of each racer, their date of birth and their TMBRA series plate number (all data must match the racer’s TMBRA profile). Once the season starts there are no substitutions across team rosters. Additions are allowed but the new team addition racer’s prior points will not be counted prior to their team addition date. The registration fee is $5 per team member payable to TMBRA by Feb. 26th. Cash or Check only sent to the following address: TMBRA 141 West Water St. A-200 Kerrville, TX 78028.

When registering at each race, please have team members include the EXACT “Team Name” that your team is using. A racer’s points may only be used by one registered team during a season. If a racer changes teams at any time during the series, his points will not count for the old team or the new team. Any changes MUST BE RECEIVED by email no later than the Wednesday before the next race event and the $5 per rider fee must be paid for points to be counted……NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!
We recommend that you have at least five riders on your team, there is a 15 rider limit.
PLEASE NOTE: Your team and it’s members are solely responsible for 100% correct team roster forms and proper race event registration!!!!! The name on the roster must EXACTLY match the names entered at registration and on your TMBRA profile . The most common reason for missed points is not using the exact same name or not using the same birth dates.
By submitting a roster team managers agree to the following “code of ethics“
1. Team managers will not “stack” their roster with riders who are not actually a part of the team. Adding racers who ride for another team that is not involved with the Texas Team Challenge is not allowed.
2. The Team Challenge team name MUST appear on the race results.
3. Team managers agree to encourage racers to move from Cat 3 to Cat 2 and Cat 2 to Cat 1 when they meet the mandatory upgrade requirements or when the rider’s ability obviously warrants the upgrade.
4. Team managers will not encourage “sandbagging” by asking a racer to stay down for points.Scoring
The top FIVE highest placing finishers for each team will determine the team’s total score for each race event. The best SIX out of EIGHT race events will count.
If you have less than five eligible racers to score, the empty spots will receive a score of “zero”. If you finish, but not within the top thirty racers in your class you will also receive a “zero”.Prizes and Expenses
