Florida FPS OVERALL Series

In order to reward both Performance and Participation, Riders competing for the FPS Overall Championship will now only need to accumulate points in 30 races. All FPS races permitted will count towards this competition. You can now earn points in the over 100 individual Training, Regional, Medal, Cup, Crown, and State Championship races. Once you have reached 30 races, your next highest points earned in any race will replace your lowest points earned up to that point. We believe this series give many more riders the opportunity to compete throughout the year without having to participate in every race available, and it will surely recognize our very best overall riders in the state!
