Classification Appeal
Riders who wish to dispute or contest their AMA classification achieved during the current year through the National Advancement System may appeal one time. The AMA appeal process consists of a three-member board that will consider each appeal once and only once; there is no second opportunity to appeal.
The deadline for appeals related to year-end advancement is March 1 (Off-Road) and April 1 (Motocross).
The appeal board will be made up of three AMA Congress representatives from the Motocross Competition Committee list. The appeal process can take several weeks while the appeal board works to render an informed and educated decision.
