Riders who achieve a position equal to or better than these guaranteed gates in the Amateur National Qualifier series, will have successfully qualified for the Walton Grand National Championship.

Here is a list of regions and the number of gates available:

1. Atlantic [4]

The ranking process will determine your gate pick (position on the gate for your first moto). It will also either confirm you or place you on standby depending on the conditions you have met.
