Participation Awards

GUIDELINES FOR EVENT PARTICIPATION POINT AWARDS

THE PURPOSE OF THE CHAPTER EVENTS PARTICIPATION POINT AWARDS SHALL BE TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE HARLEY- DAVIDSON® MOTORCYCLING ACTIVITIES AND ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION IN CHAPTER AND H.O.G. EVENTS.

The point accumulation begins each year with the Annual New Year’s Day Ride in January and ends on December 31. The participant must be a current Chapter member to be eligible to receive a point. Members participating in events posted on the North Georgia H.O.G. Calendar (except events designated as non-point events) shall receive points under the following guidelines.

1) Ride events shall be one point for members who assemble and ride as a group to a destination via a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

2) Rides designated as an overnight event, shall be one point for participation in the ride to destination via a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and one point for participation in the event / activity.

3) Members attending any National, Regional, Touring, State H.O.G. Rally, Harley Homecoming or any event designated a H.O.G pin stop shall receive one point. (This is in addition to any points awarded per lines 1 or 2).

4) Non-riding Chapter events open to all members shall be one point.

The Wednesday / Weekday Rides are typically not included in the Awards Points program due to record keeping, the informal nature of the ride and because many Chapter members are unable to participate due to work requirements.

Members participating in the most Chapter Events shall receive recognition with the top five positions, including any ties, receiving awards. The Ride Leader leading the most Chapter rides shall also receive recognition.

Chapter Officers are not eligible for membership participation points, however, the Chapter Officer participating in the most Chapter events shall receive recognition.

The presentation of awards and recognition as outlined above will typically be at the January Chapter Meeting the following year.

These guidelines may be amended or changed at any time at the discretion of the Chapter Director after consultation with Chapter Officers. Amended April 2026.
