Mud Bog:

From now on ATV Mud Mania mud bogs will be bracket races. When registration is complete the brackets will be decided and the bog will begin. Each run will consist of two bikes in the pit racing against each other. The winner out of each bracket will advance to the next round.

We will be no longer be using "buy-backs" for these bracket races. If you loose your race you are eliminated from the competition.

When you register for the mud bog you will be given a tag. The tag will have a number and your class (ex. IRS01). When you get this tag it must be placed on your bike in a visible area. The number is not the order you will run in, but is only used to identify you as a competitor. When the brackets are decided we will call out which numbers or person will compete against each other. Please make sure these number tags are on your bike for the entire competition so we can keep track of what's going on.

Team Bog:

The team mud bog will be a 2 man team competition. Members of each team will line up against each other in a free for all battle to see who has the best team around. Once teams cross the start line you may push, pull, winch, or do anything else that you can do to get your bike across the line. To win both members of your team must complete the course and cross the finish line before the other team. If a member of your team has problems and cannot complete the race you can still win by pushing or pulling them across the finish line before the other team finishes.

If a member of a team has problems with their bike and they are unable to continue after winning a round they may substitute for another member. When you sign up for the team bog you must give the names of your two primary riders and your two secondary riders. You will only be allowed to have two secondary riders. If you do not have at least two riders you will not be allowed to compete.
