2012 POINTS Standings

[Ed Holley]

When would the "points" standings for 2012 be posted? Or, because we have only had 1 event, is it too early? Or are they posted, and I am just not seeing them?

well.. they'd be exactly the same as how you finished..

No...they would show points for all entrants in a class. This is something I'm unfamiliar with and want to see. So, what's the answer to my question. BTW, you haul %$# in the Max mobile. I think that was you.

I came in almost last... so probably not..

The Formula for calculating points is in the sup regs if you're really itching to see. That's what I always used to do.

Looks like Christine has a volunteer helper.

My car had four drivers last weekend... me, Tom, Christine and Aaron. Could have been any one of us I suspect

If we are talking fast, I'm thinking Christine

In STR, we all almost came in last. Then again, we all almost won too.

i wouldn't expect to see any official points posted until maybe feb or march. It's pretty easy to follow along on your own for 2 or 3 events.

[Steve Ekstrand]

If you count in drops, the whole class is sitting at zero.

YOU don't think I KNOW that? What's a "drop"?

[Davin Swanson]

From the supps:

7.6 NUMBER OF EVENTS SCORED
A competitor shall compete in at least one half (1/2) of all Championship events held in the season to be eligible for yearend awards. A competitor will drop their lowest event scores at the rate shown in Appendix D. Any event for which an entrant qualifies for an average shall be considered an attended event.

APPENDIX D - CSCC Solo Number of Drops Index

Code: Select all

Number of Events     Number of Drops
1 to 3                    0
4 to 6                    1
7 to 10                   2
11 to 13                  3 
14 to 16                  4 
17 and up                 5

So actually, nobody's at zero yet. If you're interested in computing points on your own, the formula is:

100 - 400 * ( (driver's time - winner's time) / (winner's time) )

...I know I'm in second!

So what else is new!

And, of course, it had to be Davin who would respond (inside joke). So, oh wise one, the PURPOSE of "drops" is/are?

[Bill Schenker]

Right. And you're in what, 20th or something? So yeah, what's new....

[Jeff Stuart]

It just gives people the possibility of competing for a championship even if they have to miss a few events throughout the year. You drop your <see chart above> lowest scores.

[Rick Brown]

Simply allows those strange people that have some sort of life outside of autocross to miss an event or two without penalty.

So...if I'm understanding correctly...let's say there are 14 events and I run 10 of them. I will have to "drop" 2 of my 10 events run. Is this correct? And let's say my closest competitor has run only 6 events. He would have to "drop" 1 of HIS or HER events. Is this also correct?

No, your lowest scores are the 4 zeros for the 4 missed events. Look at it the other way. You are scored on your best 10 if we run 14 events.

20th? I'm honored.

Jeesh! And I thought driving and course reading were the hard parts. Thanks Rick, Jeff and Davin. I think I've got it now.

CSCC Solo... There's always something else to misunderstand... It's how we roll!

[Ed Holley]

100 - 400 * ( (driver's time - winner's time) / (winner's time) )

Now for the math portion of the exam...

Driver's time= 68.752
Winner's time=68.752

What is the points total?

[Jeff Stuart]

What is the points total?

67.576 points in SK2 ;)
