There are 5 rounds (4 regional rounds at motorcycle races across the country and one online round) in which Ducati Superbikes are judged across a number of criteria that best suit each bike. Not all criteria will apply to all bikes and some bikes may be judged across all criteria. The judging criteria include: originality, emotion, personal appeal, modifications, prior use, beauty, sound, and other criteria the judges deem appropriate. The judges will select winners for up to 7 different awards in each round—one Grand Prize winner and up to 6 runner ups. The categories are as follows: Grand Prize: Best Overall Superbike Runner Up: Taglioni Award (Competition Superbikes) Runner Up: Cook Neilson Award (Pre-1988 Superbikes) Runner Up: Troy Bayliss Award (1988-2007 Superbikes) Runner Up: Casey Stoner Award (2007-2008 Superbikes and Desmosedici RR) Runner Up: Ducati “Bella” Award (For extraordinary external beauty) Runner Up: Ducati Passion Award (Bike must be ridden to round and total bike
