We are so happy you are going to join us on the ride from Florida to Sturgis. The “Support Bikers Crew” has worked hard to create this epic journey. Please check the SupportBikers.com website, Youtube.com/TheBadgers, and Facebook.com/FollowtheBadgers for information regarding the ride as it unfolds. A big thank you to the many bikers who have given us their ideas and suggestions. We look forward to meeting each of you, hearing your stories and of course “riding with you”.
You will receive an “Official Rider” Packet 3-4 weeks before the ride. It will contain a route map, merchandise, and important information you will need on the road.
Below are the requirements for the ride, please read carefully. You will be prompted to pay by credit card. You are not officially registered until we receive payment in full.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
THE RIDE
- THIS IS NOT A GROUP RIDE. This is a Poker Run and you are free to ride with friends or alone.
- There will NOT be Road Captains or Leaders.
- Everyone will receive a “Route Map”. You are only REQUIRED TO BE AT EACH “CARD PULL STOP” IN THE DESIGNATED TIME WINDOW.
- You are NOT required to stay at each “overnight stop” or use the surrounding “card pull” location lodging. CAUTION: If you deviate from the route you must meet or exceed the MILEAGE requirement that is set for the Guinness World Record. You WILL be disqualified and NOT receive recognition for setting the record if your mileage does not meet the required mileage.
- Only “Motorcycles” can be part of the world record.
- Any request for a refund of the registration fee must be submitted by June 30, 2021. Requests will be handled on a case by case basis by the Support Bikers Crew and all decisions are final. After that date, your registration fee will be considered a donation to BikerDown.org.
- All accommodations, food, misc. expenses including medical and repairs are the sole responsibility of the “Official Rider”
- Excess mileage obtained by i.e. sightseeing opportunities will not be used in the final mileage count.
THE GAME
- Any player starting the Poker Run must complete the run. No substitutes are permitted. Any registered rider leaving the Poker Run early or joining along the route is not considered an “Official Rider” and will not be counted as participant of the World Record.
- A GPS data app will be designed for each Official Rider.
- Participants must draw a card at the beginning STOP, before setting off to the second card pull. This is where the distance measurement begins.
- All participants must “Pull a Card” at each checkpoint between the starting time and ending time set for each stop. We will give a 15 min warning but will not accept any cards pulled after the designated ending time. The card pull window of time will depend on the number of participants and you will receive that information in the “Official Rider” packet.
- Officials present at every checkpoint must mark or sign in the scoring card and record the poker card drawn by each participant at that point.
- Each card pull will have a marking method that it is clearly identifiable for that stop.
- There will be methods of tracking card pulls and mileage. Each participant will be responsible for their scoring card to be presented at the end. This is considered by Guinness as one form of verification. If there is a discrepancy between the “stop record” and the card presented at the end, the result is an automatic disqualification
- A winner will be determined by the best five-card poker hand at the end of the route. In case of a tie there will be another “Card Pull”. The rider with the highest card wins.
- Entrants must not acquire extra cards or extra hands to improve their chances of winning.
- While driving on any open public roads, all local traffic laws must be followed. If any participant breaks a traffic law during the ride, they will be disqualified.
