The name state championship qualifier is what was called years ago. ABA changed to SCR , due to people being confused and thinking that you have to qualify to race SCR & SCF. Anyone can race in SCR or SCF, but to receive the title of State Champion you must meet criteria set by the ABA. Here is criteria of ABA rule book to be awarded State Champion, I also have copy and pasted below.ABA rule book http://www.ababmx.com/index.php?page=rulebookXVII. State/Provincial Championship Series
A State Championship series (U.S.) or Provincial Championship series (Canada) will be conducted in each State/Province that possesses at least 1ABA sanctioned track. Each series goal is to determine age group over all champions and distribute number plate rankings to eligible riders through the following structure of competition:
A. Award structure:
1. Number plate designations will be awarded with the following ratio and specifics:a. 50% of total the number of riders with State/Provincial championship points (regardless of current eligibility status), in each age group
according to the points listing presented for the state final event, not
to exceed 10 plates per age.b. Riders must have fulfilled all eligibility requirements. (Ex: 30 riders in an age group—50% equals 15 but number plates will
not exceed 10. If only 7 of those available riders have met the eligibility requirements, only 1-7 plates will be awarded. Odd numbers
will be rounded up to the next even number in determining the 50%ratio.)Each age group State/Provincial Champion will receive an ABA State/Provincial number plate and a custom award.
2. The State/Provincial number plate shall be white with blue lettering. The plate will feature your District number in black on a white background and your rank in the State/Province shall be a 1” white number on a royal blue background in the upper left corner.
3. State/Provincial number plates can be used at any ABA sanctioned event. These plates can be displayed until the conclusion of the following year’s State/Provincial Championship Final event.
B. Eligibility RequirementsT o become eligible to obtain the State/Provincial Championship titleand/or a State/Provincial number plate designation, a rider must meet the following requirements:
1. Race in the predetermined number of SCR/PCR events within his/her respective State/Province as per the following table:
Number of tracks in state/province Number of SCR/PCR events required
4 or more 3
3- 2
2 -1
1 -1
**A rider may race as many SCR/PCR events as he/she wishes, however
only that rider’s best finishes of the required number of races within that
rider’s respective State/Province will be counted going into the finals.
2. Race in the State/Provincial Championship Final event of his/her respective State/Province.
•
Any rider racing out of class at any SCR/PCR or SCF/PCF will forfeit allState/Provincial and district points for that event.
3. Riders from a state or province with no ABA track may participate in a
State/Provincial Championship Series for another state or province,
providing they declare their intention (in writing) to ABA before their first
State/Provincial Championship Race in that state or province. If the rider
fails to declare which state or province they wish to participate in, the first
SCR/ PCR event they compete at will determine which State/Provincial
Championship Series they will compete in.
C. Competition structure:
1. Every track in each State/Province shall hold a State/Provincial
Championship Race (SCR/PCR) offering State/Provincial Championship
points as well as double district points.
2. All SCR/PCR events shall be run between January 1 and a date as
designated by the ABA.
3. Each State/Province shall have a State/Provincial Championship Final
(SCF/PCF) which shall be a triple district point event. An additional double
district points event will accompany the SCF/PCF event.

statewide track contest.

frame outlined by the ABA.

points table.
11. Any track listed in the BMXer magazine as of the May issue will count as a
valid track for state/provincial championship eligibility. The ABA reserves
the right to modify this rule at its discretion.
12. As California is split into Northern and Southern regions, California riders
may attain state points as required in either region. However, these
riders must compete at the State Championship Final event of their
corresponding region to be awarded a championship title.
