Points system for regionals??
I guess this is mainly a question pointed to Charlie and Jim but feel free to add your thoughts people.
Last year the points were done on where you finished in your final only and didnt take into account qualifying. For example, you could qualify 1st in the A but then if you broke your car in the final or some other misfortune happened to you and you finish last then you would only get points for 10th place. Personally I believe that where you qualify is worth much more than your final position and this points system gives an unjust score of a persons achievments of the day. Especially when the series only consists of 4 rounds and its your best 3 rounds to count. That means that you could qualify 1st in all rounds but just 2 bad finals and your done for!!! I suggest a better system would be 200 points for qualify and 100 for final. ie 1st qualifier gets 200, 2nd 199 etc and the same for finals but from 100 down. This way your finals position still counts but is not so do or die if you have bad luck in the final. What are peoples thoughts?

It's not broken, no need to fix it.....
The software would need changing to do it. G

we used this system in the mid south a couple of years ago with 100 pts for quali and 100 for finals. It worked well from a drivers point of view but was hard work from the administrators point of view, especially when they had a problem with the software/printer at one meeting.
But at the end of the day, Formula 1 guys don;t get points for getting on pole, it's all down to the race, that's why they call it "racing"!

I have to agree with Dan (DBizzle) on this one. It would be much fairer to have 200 downwards for qualifying and 100 downwards for the finals. Or 100 and 100 would be ok with maybe a bonus point for TQ and 1st A.
Think with our region having best 3 from 4, just to have points for the final wouldn't be fair. If you have a breakage or if somebody takes you out it could not just be that round out the window but your entire season. |

Jim76, is it 3 from 4 or 3 from 5 in the Mid South?

You guys do realise that what we do every weekend is called 'racing' and not 'qualifying'?
The regionals tend to run the same format as the nationals as it's supposed to be a stepping stone to them (looks like it will be even more now the numbers are up), so people know what to expect at the big meetings. Part of the skill to finals is keeping out of trouble. I know a national A finalist who says he drives 'even easier' in finals. Equally, if you have a bad qually and line up A 10, you then can't win the meeting can you with your system? Swings and roundabouts G

I suppose so. Didnt know the nationals worked on that scoring system too. If you did qually 10th and fluked the final then I dont think its derserved win anyways! Much better to equal the points out to give a more overall result i think.

I understand it makes it slightly more complicated but surely its not that difficult. And as far as F1 goes they have like 20 races to a championship instead of just 4 so its a bit different I think.

F1 - All rounds count, a bad day is a bad day and reflects on the championship. Hence why they will 'settle' for 2nd or 3rd in a race. Winning a championship is also a skill. G

And as for F1 I know all rounds count but there is loads of them. So bad days are averaged out alot more ands dont matter as much. 10th to 1st in a final to me just means that a lot of the front runners have been wiped out!!!

Its not that hard to produce a macro in excell to calculate the results - i am not volunteering!!
Just to answer the earlier question the mid south runs round by round at most tracks, but not all. When round by round is run we run 2 of 4 to count. Points awarded now as last year for finishing position only. I have to say that the end of year results for the year when qualifying points were awarded and last year still allowed the same drivers to finish at the top. Having raced under both systems i have no preferance, the day is just as much fun! |
