2025 IMBA MEMBERSHIP UPDATE

As we kick off another exciting season, we are introducing important updates to our membership process, pricing structure, and qualification system for the IMBA World Finals.

NEW MEMBERSHIP STRUCTURE & PRICING

Starting this year, we’ve made changes to the way membership works and how points are accumulated for the IMBA World Finals. Here's what you need to know:

2025 MEMBERSHIP PRICING

NOW – APRIL 30  [ $100 ]
MAY 1 – JULY 31  [ $200 ]
AUGUST 1 & AFTER  [ $300 ]

If you have any questions about the membership process, pricing, or how the points system works, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're happy to assist!

WHY THIS CHANGE?

This new structure helps us better plan for events and ensures that we can deliver the best experience for riders and families. By joining early, riders can save money and maximize their points for qualification to the IMBA World Finals. Points for qualification will not begin accumulating until the membership is purchased.

Here’s a simple breakdown of ways to qualify for the IMBA Finals:

CONTRACTOR’S SERIES

Find a Local Contractor

Look at our list of approved stock contractors/producers and pick one near you.

Get in Touch

Contact the contractor and sign up for their series.

Earn Points

Your contractor will keep track of your points during the series. The top 3 riders in each division qualify for the Finals.

DIRECT QUALIFIERS

Become an IMBA Member

You must be a member before you can compete.

Pay a $100 Side Fee

When you enter the event, pay an extra $100 along with your entry fee.

Win to Qualify

 If you win first or second place in your division, you qualify for the Finals. The $100 fee goes into the prize pool for your division.

CHAMPION EXCEPTION

If you were a champion in last year’s Finals, you are automatically invited back—no need to go through the qualification process again.
