    1. Only competition hooks can be dropped.

    2. Rain outs cannot be dropped.

    3. A hook cannot be dropped if the vehicle competes at a non-OTTPA event on the same date causing the vehicle to miss the OTTPA event.

    4. Number of drops are determined based on the number of events at the start of the season. If an event is rained out or cancelled, it does not change the number of drops established at the start of the season.

    5. Classes with:

Hooks Drops
0-9 Hooks No Drops
10-18 Hooks 1 Drop
19-25 Hooks 2 Drops
26+ Hooks 3 Drops

  1. The vehicle must register for, and attend, the last 3 events of the year for the class it is competing in, or a portion of the payout will be deducted. (Only exceptions would be family emergency, natural disaster, or major breakage to be determined and approved by the OTTPA executive board.)

    1. Miss 1 of the last 3 hooks, 25% deduction from entitled points fund amount.

    2. Miss 2 of the last 3 hooks, 50% deduction from entitled points fund amount.

    3. Miss 3 of the last 3 hooks, 75% deduction from entitled points fund amount.

  2. If a competitor misses more hooks than they are allowed per Rule #3.1.10, they will still get paid if they finish in top 5 in points but will only be paid a percentage of the payout based on the percentage of the hooks they made for the year.

Example: If you finish the season in 5th place, which pays \$500 for your class, but only participated in 60% of the events, you will receive \$300 (60% of the \$500 prize). However, if you missed any of the last 3 events, Rule #10 will apply to the \$300 you are entitled to.

  1. You need to have a team member at the banquet to walk across the stage to receive your check and trophy or you will have 25% deducted from your check.
