SuperMotocross World Championship Press Release 7

Supercross, Motocross, and SuperMotocross deal with NBC and Peacock is a five year deal.

For the first time in our history there will be a play-off format in Supercross and Motocross.

The top 20 riders in combined SX & MX points will automatically be seeded into the playoffs.

A rider can also qualify for end of season competition by winning a SX main event or a motocross overall victory.

They'll be placed with the remaining in positions 21-30 and will have an opportunity to race their way into the 22 rider field at each playoff round

SuperMotocross events will be a 2 moto format with maximum 26 points for round one and 52 points for round 2. The championship finale at the LA Coliseum will raise the stakes with a max of 78 available points to title hopefuls.

Dave Prater says Top 20 automatically seated in playoffs. Those that happen to win a SX Main or MX over-all that doesn't finish series in top 20 will get a chance for a LCQ race to get in. SX and MX purse increased by about 1.1 million dollars, for the over-all play off 1 and 2 and World Championship final there's 5.5 million on the line. For a 450 rider it's a $1 million to win championship, for 250 rider it's a half million.
