Phew, that was a long break! Okay, it was only one weekend, but I think I speak for everyone in saying: thank goodness Monster Energy AMA Supercross returns Saturday in Birmingham, Alabama for round 10 of the championship. Our Saturday nights have purpose again.
Read on for the latest injury news, the streaming schedule and more below as we head into the weekend.
Things to Note
- Birmingham will mark the third and final Triple Crown event of the year.
- This weekend will also feature the third round of the SMX Next series, where the best A or B amateur riders compete.
Triple Crown Format Details
Qualifying:
- The top 18 fastest riders qualify directly into the evenings’ 3 races
- Four additional riders advance into the races via Wild Card races (the Wild Cards for Triple Crown races take place before the night’s opening ceremonies)
Main Events:
- 250 = 3 races at 10 minutes + 1 lap
- 450 = 3 races at 12 minutes + 1 lap
Points/Scoring/Overall Results
- The Triple Crown format uses an Olympic-Style Scoring System so 1st place = 1 point; 2nd place = 2 points, etc.
- The rider with the LOWEST SCORE (ex. 1+1+1=3 if a rider wins all three Main Events) gets 1st place, and a full 25 regular championship points. 2nd overall pays 22 pts., 3rd overall pays 20 pts., etc.
