  8. No riding the sides of pits. If any tire goes out of the pit you will be sent back to the start line, and must restart your run.
    Time will not be restarted. If you ride the side of the pit and win your heat it's at the discretion of the judges to disqualify you.

  9. At least one hand and one foot must remain on the ATV at all times during the run. The only time a rider is allowed to dismount

    12.
  12. Judges of the competition have the right to cancel a mud bog class if only a few participants register to compete. The
    number of participants needed to continue with a class competition is at the discrepancy of the judges; they will decide
    whether to continue with a class competition after registration ends and before the competitions begin. If a class is canceled,
    participants will be refunded their their registration fee.

    up for your class meeting you will not be allowed to compete in that division.

  15. The judge reserves the right to change the rules. These rule changes will be due to conditions of the mud pit, number
    of racers, and time issues. All rule changes will be announced before the start of the bog.
