unfortunatly what everbody has said makes sense
the problem is that if the rules are different to the F I M then we are not helping the better riders compete at the top level,
so all the brit champ and nationals should go to fim. sum trials can opt out but this should be stated before entries are taken so riders know what the rules are.
also when you watch the montesa vid on the web site and dougie says he won't ride in brittan cus the rules are different,he must be our biggest draw at a trial and he rides in europe, if we changed the rules would that bring him back and maybee sum of the other top men which would then make brit championship top again.this would also give top youths the chance to ride against and see what is going on at the top level and would increase spectators with more advertising
