Clubs are also able to submit their own rules for approval, so long as they fall within our parameters, they can be approved.  


 

The AMCA assists with event registrations in the following ways:

1. Online Registration: All registrations are processed through the AMCA website, which includes the waiver process and electronic sign-on for participants, spectators, and crew. ​
2. QR Code Sign-On: Sign-ons are completed via QR scan using the AMCA app. ​ This allows real-time tracking of attendees, even in areas without mobile reception (data uploads when reception becomes available). ​
3. Mobile App Features:
   • The app includes a group chat feature, enabling communication between participants and event organizers. ​
   • Event organizers can message all participants directly, avoiding missed emails or junk folder issues. ​
   • If a participant does not have a mobile phone, the organizer can manually sign them in using the app. ​
4. Event Management: Organizers have back-end access to their event details. ​ For repeat events, they can update details like the event date and make the event live again. ​

These tools streamline the registration process, improve communication, and enhance event management efficiency. ​

What first aid requirements are necessary for events?

The document specifies the following first aid requirements for events:

1. Qualified First Aid Personnel: Suitably qualified and equipped First Aid persons must be present during the riding period. ​
2. Emergency Action Card: Create an emergency action card that includes the property address and GPS coordinates to assist in case of emergencies. ​
3. For major events: Notify the local area health service of the event approximately 3 months in advance.
4. Incident Reporting:
   • Report all injuries requiring medical attention to the AMCA within 48 hours of the event. ​
   • For serious injuries or fatalities, contact Greg Peterson immediately after notifying emergency services or as soon as practical under the circumstances. ​
5. Preservation of Scene: For life-threatening injuries or deaths, preserve the scene as best as practical and stop the event. ​ Do not alter or disturb the scene until police investigations are completed. ​

By ensuring these requirements are met, your event will be better prepared to handle medical emergencies effectively. ​

To submit event rules to the AMCA, clubs and promoters need to:

• Prepare Rules and Supplementary Regulations: Draft the event rules and supplementary regulations (supp regs) for the event. ​
• Submit for Review: Send the prepared rules and supp regs to the AMCA for review and approval. ​

This process ensures that the event complies with AMCA standards and guidelines. ​

What types of events require a race steward?

Race stewards are only required for race series and championships. ​

Club rounds and individual events do not require a race steward. ​

 

What are the responsibilities of AMCA officials?

AMCA officials are responsible for ensuring the smooth and safe operation of events. Their key responsibilities include:

Experience and Competence: Officials must have experience and knowledge of the rules they operate under and be competent in the discipline they are officiating for. ​

Nomination: Clubs and promoters can nominate their officials for events to the AMCA. ​

Adherence to Rules: Officials ensure compliance with event rules, track marking guidelines, and safety protocols. ​

For championships and race series, officials must operate to a standard set of rules to ensure consistency. ​

At AMCA-sanctioned events, the following officials are required:

1. Event Officials: Clubs and promoters can nominate their officials for their events to the AMCA. ​ These officials must have experience and knowledge of the rules they operate under and be competent for the discipline they are officiating for. ​

2. Race Stewards: Not required for club rounds or individual events. ​ Stewards are only required for race series and championships, which must operate under a standard set of rules to ensure consistency. ​

3. Sweep Riders: Sufficient sweep riders must be present, appropriate to the course's length, difficulty, and the number of riders. ​ They must ride in pairs, carry a fully charged mobile phone, and a 5-watt UHF radio. ​

4. First Aid Personnel: Suitably qualified and equipped First Aid persons must be present during the riding period. ​

All event officials are required to wear high-visibility vests, including sweep riders and marshals. ​

Recognition of Accredited Race Officials

AMCA values the experience within the sport. Not only do we recognise and accept already accredited race officials from other motorcycling bodies, we also recognise & understand that many experienced volunteers are willing and capable to act as officials at their own local club rounds, reducing duplication and ensuring their skills can be put straight to use at your event.

Importantly, clubs won't be left hunting for officials, as race stewards are required for series and championships only.
