Heres one synopsis.
Points
ABA used to have a nice points section in the ABA Action newspaper. Then they renamed it American BMXr and tried to make it magazine like. If it were a small sanction, that would work but for ABAs size, you need a magnifying glass to read the points. Plus with 50 states and some states having over 20 districts no one really cares as much about district number 1.

NBL. Track Points. Local Points. State Points. National Points. 3rd Moto Points if its raining.

New Sanction. – would have large enough font you can actually read the points, clearly laid out like the USBA was, so you can find the section your looking for easily. Points that matter, States limited to 3 districts: North, South and Central or East, West and Central (Huge states like NY, PA, TX and CA could have 4 or 5 districts maybe.

New Jersey would be North, South and Central
EHT – South (Mullica Hill, Deptford etc)
Howell – Central (Flemington, Lawrenceville etc)
None- North (Craigmuer, Vernon Valley, Oakland etc)

Points go to where the rider lives. You can tell where a rider is from cause like the old NBA youd have a big distrct decal like 10s for South etc.
A second decal on the plate would have the State.
All riders must have approved plates that are clean, meet crtiterium of number size etc and have on the new sanctions state and district decal.

can you imagine watching a football or baseball game , even at your High School and all the players could do whatever they wanted on their uniforms. Wouldnt look dialed in at all. BMX to get national support and become an event the racers must treat it like an event. The new sanction must enforce its own rules, if the sanction doesnt take the sport seriously why should the riders?
