5.7 Selection of Champions & Ties - At the close of the racing season, the entrant and driver with the highest number of ranking points respectively shall be declared the divisional Champions. In the case of a tie in accumulated points for the champion’s position, the tie will be broken by a tally of first-place finishes. If still tied, a tally of second, third, etc. finishes will be utilized until the tie is broken. If a tie cannot be broken by the above tiebreakers, the champion will be the driver or entrant who amass their point total first. Ties for positions two through ten will be broken by awarding the position to the driver or entrant who amass their point total first. Ties will not be broken for positions eleven through the remaining participants.
