Season Points discussion
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2014 4:14 pm
We have discussed a little bit about the season points at previous meetings. This year is about to start so lets wrap this up. Current thinking is use one of the major rally points systems since it's what the Pro guys use, makes it easy. To not penalize folks who can't make every event, ETR Solo has:
You must enter at least 6 events to qualify for a year end championship. Your best 7 finishes for the season count towards the year end championship. For the RallyX I feel we should use that or enter 50% and best 60% towards the championship. Any ties to be broken by the driver with the highest average of points obtained for the number of events they ran.
1) WRC uses:
Position 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th
Points 25 18 15 12 10 8 6 4 2 1
2) GRC uses:
1st 20
2nd 17
3rd 15
4th 13
5th 12
6th 11
7th 10
8th 9
9th 8
10th 7
11th 6
12th 5
13th 4
14th 3
15th 2
16th 1
3) since previously the ETR solo program had a bunch of ties in the points races, the solo points were changed to:
Points are awarded to all drivers in ETR Solo events based on the percentage of the class winner’s time and the individual driver’s time. To determine the individual driver’s points, the winner’s time is divided by the individual driver’s time and multiplied by 100. All drivers, member or not, are scored.
The formula is: (Top Time in Class / Individual’s Time) * 100 = points
So, if top time in STS is 40.123 seconds, the winner’s score is: (40.123 / 40.123) * 100 = 100 points
and if second place’s time is 42.532 seconds: (40.123 / 42.532) * 100 = 94.34 points
And so on, until all competitors in the class are awarded points.
Please Note:
If a driver DNF’s (Did Not Finish) all runs, no points will be awarded to that driver.
Novice Classes are not eligible for season championships.
Choice number 1 is easiest to keep up with the points. The 3rd will best prevent ties but is the most labor to determine.
