Nice one, thanks.

So we only consider those people who have completed enough rounds (4).

Not necessary , someone may have a higher score by doing only three rounds than someone who has done four rounds.

Sorry ... On your previous post you said 'those who have done enough scoring rounds' ... So presumed that a minimum number of rounds must have been attended to be included ithe final standings for f grades.

Personally, I welcome the inclusion of loads of people who have just done one round :thumbsup:

one round wont get you nowt, what Eric is trying to explain is they only count a maximum of 4 rounds, and the lower scoring people will need 4 rounds, some of the better drivers may only do 3 but get 100 points from each giving them 300 points but us mere mortals scoring 4 x 60 points will end up at 240 points hence Eric's statement, but the guy with 4 x 80 points will beet the 300 buy getting 320 doesn't that make sense

No I understand that fine. Understand it is best 4 from 6.

But the f grades are worked out on %'s of the final standings table, so my question is - what is the minimum number of rounds somebody has to complete to be included in the final standings? .... 1, 2, 3?

To get a higher "F" you need to count your best 4 rounds. If someone has a higher score with 3 rounds than someone with 4 they usually only get an "F4" or "F5" grade.

The person with the higher score and only 3 rounds usually get an F4 or F5?

Overall Series as they stand

OK, here's the process, Eric's right though:

1. Take out F1's.

2. Take out National F2's.

3. Count how many have done 4 rounds.

4. Work out 20% of the above number - that's the number of F2's (excluding FR1's and Nat F2's as above).

5. Work out 30% of the number you got in 3 - that's the number of F3's.

6. Work out 30% of the number you got in 3 - that's the number of F4's.

7. The rest, even those that have done 1 round, get F5.

BUT - you can only drop one grade a year, so if you were F2 this year, but ended up in the F4 bracket of the results, you'd be F3 next year.

Make sense? :D

So even though I only done this bury round
And hopefully the next nw regional
I will manage to retain my hard won f5 status from last year ?
Hope so f1 is a long way away

That's the missing info, thanks - you have to have done 4 rounds minimum to be included in the final calculations.

Of course, in addition, all people with single rounds get F5.

Thanks
