Points Series Explained

The Points Championship consists of 10 races. Of the 10 races, 8 will count toward the point's championship in any class. That gives each competitor two throw-away races in which to drop their worst events. We believe this is necessary as everyone has a bad day or a day in which something comes up that may cause his or her absence. Points will be awarded for the Top Qualifier only in each class and main event finishing position for all drivers. Qualifying will award a maximum of 2 points for first place only. For Mains, first place will award 200 points, second place 195, third place 190, and so on down at regular 5-point intervals. The reason for the five point spread in main finishing position is to put more emphasis main finishing and not qualifying. Since the main event requires more preparation, concentration, and skill, we thought it more important to structure it this way.
In Figure #1 below, you'll find a chart representing how points are assigned for Qualifying and Finishing (Main) Positions. In Figures #2 and #3 below you'll find how the points are utilized in a race event as well as the championship season.

The table above represents a typical series.
Because only eight of the ten races count toward the final "V.O.R.R.A. Points Championship", drivers who compete in all ten events are able to drop their lowest two scores. Numbers in Dark Purple indicate a dropped score by drivers with ten events. Blank Cells indicate that the driver was absent at that event. The total points column shows that one bad race does not kill your season.
