3 Page 3 of 11 STATE SERIES NEWS 2007 Texas State Trials Championship The Texas State Trials Council is pleased to announce the 31 st Annual Texas State Trials Championship. The 2007 series has only one event each month; the events are spread out from January to May, hoping that this will encourage better attendance for the 2007 Series! We ve also added a couple of new classes (without adding any new lines ) to give more riders the opportunity to find the class that has the right level of difficulty for them. Adding the Advanced class gives our younger up and coming riders a class that bridges the gap between Intermediate and Expert; it also aligns our series with the USMTA class guidelines. Schedule: Rounds 1/2 - January 27 th & 28 th CTTA at Emma Long City Park, Austin Don Hubbard Rounds 3/4 - February 24 th & 25 th NTTA at Red River Cycle Park, Muenster Tom Batchelor Rounds 5/6 March 24 th & 25 th STTA at Rio Bravo, Houston Kim McCandless Rounds 7/8 April 28 th & 29 th TOTTA at Lake Mackenzie Park, Silverton Quint Anderson Round 9 May 19 th NTTA at Red River Cycle Park, Muenster Tom Batchelor Classes: Rookie Intermediate Women rides Novice line Senior PM (over 40) rides Intermediate line (New for 2007) Vintage rides Novice line Advanced rides half of the Int lines & half Expert (New for 2007) Novice Sr. Expert rides the Advanced line Amateur Expert Senior AM rides Amateur line Master Veteran rides Amateur line New for 2007: All classes will count the best 6 of 9 rounds toward State Championship points! (Half of the rounds, plus one) The AM Frock Award will be named the David Irlanda Memorial Frock Award in the memory of David Irlanda. Senior PM open to riders over 40 years of age; rides the Intermediate line. Advanced class open to all riders; rides half of the Intermediate lines & half Expert Each split will be indicated by 2 markers one on the left and one on the right 4 apart. Riders may only ride through the splits for their class; you may not pass through any other gate. You may not pass through any gate backwards. (as per NATC rules) Awards for each event will be standardized with medallions displaying each club s logo. The Amateur line must be built for the rider that is moving up from Novice and looking for a somewhat greater challenge. It must not be built for the Senior or Veteran rider! If the Senior or Veteran rider wants a greater challenge he should ride Senior PM. What s not new for 2007? Fees remain the same as in 06 ($20 pre-entry, $25 day of event), plus any additional fees ie: Land use and or Insurance. Discounts for families/children remain in place Out of State riders may earn State Championship points, but they must declare their intent to compete in the Championship Series.

10 Page 10 of 11 New Business: Tom Batchelor announced that the executive board had met to begin rewriting the bylaws, but stated that at least one more meeting would be necessary to finish. A preliminary copy of the bylaws was passed out and reviewed. There was some discussion such as: -Requirement to put on events; -Classes; -Judging requirements; -Having a club series and accumulating points throughout the year; -Giving points in club series for judging; -Entry fee higher, with discount for judging; -Names in a hat to choose judges; -Late fee for showing up after sign ups (out of state riders not penalized); There was discussion on whether someone wanted to volunteer as trials master for a February event or if the club should just get together in Muenster one weekend in February to help out with the March State Series event. Richard Billings volunteered for a club event in March or April. A motion was made to increase entry fees for club events to $10 plus the $10 gate fee for members and $15 plus the $10 gate fee for non members. Entry fees were voted on and passed. Clark Pittman requested that event results be posted on the web site. Richard Billings reported that 17 countries had visited our web site since the Nationals.
