Scoring Rules:

Here is how the season will be scored. The first night of racing is the only night where we will combined the 2 racers for a total results. For all other races, the placement results will be the best of either race. So if you did better in the first race over the 2nd race, your first race totals will determine your position for the night's standings.

Then the all the racers will be compared for the night and the bottom half will be scored in the B Mains and the top half will be in the A Mains. These results will be put on the "standings" tally sheet for the season totals. If you want to read the results of each race, you will need to go to the "results" page. If you want to see how you are doing for the season's point standings you will need to go to the "standings" page.

There will be 11 races throughout the season but only the best 8 will be counted. At the end of the season, racer's totals will be finalized and placement for which main will be determined for final results for the trophy and final finishing results.

1st place finishers will receive 10 points, 2nd place 8 points, 3rd place 7 points, 4th place 6 points, 5th place 5 points, 6th place 4 points, 7th place 3 points, 8th place 2 points, 9th place 1 point per race night.
