Competition Rules and Rider Expectations

The RMTA has adopted most of Sections 7-8 in the AMA/NATC Supplemental Riding Rules for Championship Trials Events (see below). If there is a conflict between RMTA Rules and AMA/NATC Rules, RMTA rules shall govern.

If you are new to Observed Trials, it’s most important to read the AMA/NATC rules regarding the definitions of faults (“dabs”) and failures.
