The decision of the clubs who do organise and facilitate the league was that we would no longer have the non affiliated night and that the league is open to all, however, as a reward for supporting the league, riders from affiliated clubs can enter the whole series in advance (thus guaranteeing their ride), but riders from clubs not affiliated will have to enter each race on the night (this is more costly than a series entry).
The rule that non affiliated riders do not get league points still stands. This is another reason why your club or team (no matter how small) should become involved in organising a league event.
