This is the first-annual Everglades Cup, a race that is built around the idea that, current amateur racing classes should be formed by the skill of the rider, like they are in pro-motocross. Professional motocross riders are classed by their qualifying times and therefore, every race is truly a race that any rider on the gate could win.

The Everglades Cup underscores Floridas deep commitment to Motocross and holds profound significance, especially given Florida's status as a gateway market to the rest of the country.

• With other races, 5 laps is probably all you will get to race, per class. 
• At the Everglades Cup we do it like the pro's. You get a full 15 minutes of racing per class and a sight lap before each moto!

• At other races, you get a random gate pick.
• At the Everglades Cup, the best qualifying times get the first gate pick.

• At other races, you could be in a class that includes riders who could never win so there's no exciting, competitive racing. 
• At the Everglades Cup, you must qualify for the race class you're in so the competition is much more rewarding! 

Whatever class you race at Loretta's, you race that same class in the Everglades Cup. If you are significantly slower, you may be moved DOWN a class at Everglades Cup, not up. This is for your safety and the safety of other riders. 

The Everglades Cup is scheduled around Loretta Lynn National Qualifiers so we do not interfere with the National schedule.

Many national riders pursue a spot at Loretta's and at Everglades Cup. Some make it to Nationals and some do not. Either way, this race is not an alternative to Loretta's, it is in addition to Loretta's.  At Lorettas, nearly 20,000 racers attempt to qualify in 36 classes for the 1,512 available positions at Loretta's. There are 18,488 riders who do not make it to Nationals and have nothing challenging to pursue. In addition to being one of the most sought after awards in Motocross, (the Championship Ring) the Everglades Cup will not interfere with any Loretta's event and will fill that spot in the time-frame left open in the National schedule. The Everglades Cup is not tied to the National series and holds its own set of Supplemental Rules.

As you can imagine, the holder of the Ring and #1 plate enjoys a significant status amongst his or her peers and garners the attention of many potential sponsors. The Everglades Cup series is where sponsors and pro-team recruiters come to have their first face-to-face introduction to new talent.

The Everglades Cup has its own advancement point system, championship, and prestigious #1 plate.   This sets the Everglades Cup apart from local series events, emphasizing a pivotal role in nurturing competitive excellence and fostering growth within the country's fastest growing Motocross community.

Racing an AMA event will earn a rider AMA points. The Rider Point System will list all AMA results for that rider, their total points accumulated, RPV (Rider Performance Value), and most importantly, their classification. 

A rider's national classification is determined through the National Advancement System as outlined in the AMA Rulebook (Section 1.1.) Everglades Cup Points and RPV points are completely separate.  RPV points will be awarded in all AMA races.
