'Adelaide Masters Series' races are not split into National and Clubman classes, instead both grades of rider race together
Where entry numbers mean that two races need to be run for a class, the following will apply in terms of qualifying and points scoring.
- Two Qualifying sessions will be run, one containing the 'Pro' class riders and one containing the 'Cup' class riders.
- Riders can only compete in the Cup class if they are current Clubman grade riders or newcomers.
- Following qualifying, the times from both sessions will be combined and the riders placed in order of qualifying times irrespective of which session they were in.
- The fastest 32 riders from the combined times, who are within the qualifying time criteria, will go to the A race while the remaining riders will go to the B race.
- When both races have been run, the two race results will be combined to produce an overall result with the top positions filled by the results of the 'A' race, with all starters being classified, and the remaining positions filled by the B race finishing order .
- Points will be awarded on the combined result with the Pro class points awarded based on the finishing positions of all riders and the Cup class points based on the finishing positions of riders registered for the Cup class.
- Newcomers will only be allowed to run in the B race and if they qualify for the A race they will be placed in the B race and a non-newcomer may be promoted to the A race.
Riders are not required to register for the champiosnhip and can compete in as many or as few rounds as they wish.
