Can I use my 2026 membership to enter the 2025 World Finals, June 7–14?
A. Maybe.
The qualification rules for the World Finals remain in place, which say members must have entered at least five (5) Cinch RSNC sanctioned shows during the 2024-2025 season to qualify for entry at the World Finals. Therefore, if a member can enter five shows by June 1, they are eligible to enter the Finals.
If new members purchases their memberships now, can they enter the World Finals on their 2026 membership?
A. Yes.
The standing rule for new members (who have no history of being an RSNC member) is they do not have to ride at five (5) shows to compete at the World Finals.
Q. If I am a current standard member for the 2024-2025 season and would like to ride the Gold Shootout classes at the 2025 World Finals, can I buy a 2026 Gold Membership card?
A. No.
However, a current member can upgrade at any show including the World Finals to be eligible to ride. Membership upgrades in the 2024-2025 season will expire on June 30, 2025.
Q. Can I compete in the World Finals Gold Shootout classes on a 2026 membership?
A. Maybe.
Similar to the rule about qualifying for the World Finals, eligibility rules for the Gold Shootout classes remain in place. So, 2026 members who qualify for the World Finals (i.e. five shows) must have a Platinum or Gold membership to enter the Gold Shootout classes.
Q. Can I compete for the $75,000 added money in the World Finals Gold Shootout classes on a 2026 membership?
A. Maybe.
To compete for the added money in the World Finals Gold Shootout classes (Platinum/Gold membership, five show entries), a 2026 member must also have 100 rides to be eligible to compete for the added $75,000.
Q. How can I purchase my 2026 membership?
