How it works:
- Each manufacturer, KTM, Honda, Husqvarna, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki will have a team of four riders. Three main riders and one ‘Joker’. The Joker can replace any rider on the team at any time.

- The riders can ride any bike they want between 245cc to 450cc, regardless of their age. It also doesn’t matter if the engine is 4-stroke or 2-stroke.

- Each team will have ONE team captain, and that rider will race the ‘Superpole’.

- The Superpole, which defines the position on the starting grid is a 2-Lap sprint. Only six riders enter, one from each brand.

- Three main races will be raced. There will be three riders per team. The team with the lowest score at the end of the event will win.

- Prize money is foreseen for the individual overall winner, for the winning manufacturer and for the best MX2 rider

- The riders and manufacturers points system is like: one point for 1st, two points for 2nd, three points for 3rd etc.

- There will be nine scores from each team on the board. The seven best scores are counted. The worst two results are dropped.

- In addition to the main events, there will be two junior classes in the form of the SMX125cc and a YZ125 Cup which is an invitational race for Yamaha riders, arranged by Yamaha and the national federations across Europe.
