It's not a case of keeping my hand in - the wife says I need every bit of mental exercise possible to keep the memory from getting any worse ! ! !

Now, where was I ? - oh yes - series points and bbk.......... zzzzzzzzz

1) In the series there has never been a heat with more than 10 drivers - there have been more than 10 drivers in a Class - see 10/10/2011 TC Class

2) Of the 12 entrants on Rd 1 10/10/2011 only 9 registered in the final - the 3 DNS did not cross the loop - perhaps didn't start or did not complete the first lap - this depends on the position of the loop on the day.

3) I have discovered rounds where 2 drivers has the same points awarded - this is not possible for single leg finals where points are given for final result position - I can only guess that the series points on those occasions were awarded manually and not by using auto update by bbkRC

I have fixed these - by re running the points up date for each round.

4) Rd 8 - 28/11/2011 - Anyone remember running a 2wd Buggy heat? - A series has to apply to a Class, drivers have to run (be booked in) in that class, to achieve points in that class. In Rd8, 7 drivers were booked in to the class entitled Electric 2WD Buggy, for which NO SERIES has been set up. The only Buggy series set up is called 'Electric 4WD' - so those 7 drivers cannot be given points for that round (unless someone wishes to spend a good amount of time re-doing the points for that day manually).
Lesson to be learned from this - if you want to have a 2wd heat, but want to earn points for a Buggy Series, book em all in to the same Class but then sort the 2WD Final heats out later.
or
alternatively, book then in as Heat Class 2WD, but allocate the Final Class as the same as the Series uses (are you all still with me? Can you see what it is yet ? - yes, it's a monster !)

That's about enough for now - I'll re-run the points and re-publish, but those that were DNS will still not appear in the points for that day (and one guy, who was a DNS on one date, who somehow did get points for that day, may lose them - wonder if he will notice ??? )
