4. Scoring

a. Scoring is based on a ‘low points’ scoring system (1 point for finishing 1st, 15 points for finishing 15th etc), combined with other criteria explained below.

b. Some events divide participants into different fleets (eg. Steve Nicholson Trophy), while others race all participants together as a single fleet (eg. Bloody Mary). In order to be able to score different types of event with some measure of consistency, a formula will be applied according to Paragraph 4c below.

c.  Scores for each fleet will be referenced and adjusted to the fleet that has the most number of starters across the whole Series. For example if the Bloody Mary (which counts as one massed fleet) proves to be the largest fleet of the Series with, say, 230 starters, and the Fast Handicap of the Grafham Grand Prix has 48 starters, the score from your finishing position at Grafham would be: Your Finishing Position x 230/48. So if you finished 1st in Fast Handicap at Grafham, your score would be 4.79. If you finish 20th, it would be 95.83.

d. For scoring codes such as DNF, these will be based on the largest fleet of the whole series + 1.

e. Competitors count their their three best event scores to determine their final overall Series score.

f. In the event of a tie for the overall Series, the tie will be split by who beat who at the final event of the Series. If neither of the potential winners attended the final event of the series, the tie will be split by the results of the previous event, and so on until the tie can be split. If the potential winners participated in separate fleets, the better finishing position in their respective fleets will determine the overall Series winner.
