The rule is widely misunderstood, particularly among VMX-oriented scrutineers.

You should go and have a close read of the rule book, and take it with you to scrutiny before spending any money.

The front sprocket cover is only needed on those bikes with a large gap between the sprocket and swingarm pivot where you can fit your hand in. I think the rule book states the minimum distance between sprocket shaft and swingarm pivot where a cover is needed,
