Just a question of how the points work, is there extra point(s) given for attending the races? If so, proves why CG is in the lead attending 10 races already, bob.

[Bill Gardner]

Bob,

No points are given for the number of races a driver competes.... and besides I HATE(!) show up points...

Scoring is done solely based upon top 5 performance so the main figure to look at is the number of top 5 finishes a driver has. Coleman is leading because he has more top 5 finishes than anyone else.

1st - 12 pts
2nd - 10 pts
3rd - 8 pts
4th - 7 pts
5th - 6 pts

I've ran this system through many different scenarios and point systems... top 5, top 10, complete results. I've found the best way to measure a drivers OVERALL performance is by top 5 finishes. Of course, that's my opinion.

The point system could be adjusted a little to give more points for a win but then guys who cherry pick have an advantage and again... that's my opinion.

The bottomline is no matter how I do it... some people will like it while others will not. It's the wonderful game of life...

[HARFprez]

...wait just a minute. you mean there are people who come on here to complain? i don't think i've ever seen that on here. but seriously, Thanks for the info, great system no matter what anyone says, just wondering who helped you with all that math, seems way to complex for you (jk). All the best, bob.

[Bill Gardner]

Who helped me with the math?

Bill Gates did. He gave me a program called Excel.

Of course learning what formulas to use was very time consuming. Its a good thing I'm retired.

So if you get 12 points for a win, should I have 24 instead of 18? Just asking thanks for keeping track of all this, it'd make a small minded person go crazy

[Bill Gardner]

Josh, You are correct. I'll make the adjustment. My spreadsheet was setup to count 2 Paragon features in one night.

The scoring is a bit different for Paragon races when they run more than one feature.

Tracks that run multiple features will still receive only 43 pts.

If a track uses a qualifying system to earn a spot in the "A" feature, then all 43 points will be awarded to the top 5 drivers from the "A" feature.

If a track does not use a qualifying system to earn a spot in the "A" feature, then all 43 points will be split evenly between the multiple features. The point system would look like this for 2 features.
Feature #1
1st - 6 pts; 2nd - 5 pts; 3rd - 4 pts; 4th - 3.5 pts; 5th - 3 pts.
Feature #2
1st - 6 pts; 2nd - 5 pts; 3rd - 4 pts; 4th - 3.5 pts; 5th - 3 pts.
Total of 43 pts.

[wallbanger II]

thanks for all your hard work on this
