How points are done for on the night racing is round by round qualifying in the offroad class. This is used at most off-road meetings and it means that if the track changes in any way during the qualifying session, all rounds count and not just when the track was fastest during the night. Essentially it rewards the more consistent driver and not just that person who does a one round wonder at some point during the race meeting. To understand how it works you need to imagine that each round of qualifying during the race night is a race meeting. And then think treat those race meetings as a round of a nightly championship with two to count from four.
If you are the fastest in round 1 then you get one point, second fastest will get two points and so on.
Round 2 of qualifying all the points are back to zero and you get 1 point for fastest as per in round one. 2 points for round 2 etc.
After all four rounds of qualifying your best two point scores on the night are added together, the person with the lowest score wins the night, the person with the second lowest score comes second for the night, etc. If there is a tie in points it will then be who has got the lowest round score, and if that is the same it will be then sorted out by who did the fastest time in their lowest round score.
It's a little bit confusing but it does work out better than the normal FTD, especially in off road where the ramps could be put out in slightly different positions between rounds which could make the track slower or quicker.
For the mini and touring car class the qualifying is sorted by straight FTD, so who is quickest on the night wins the night.
I can imagine this hasn't really made it any clearer, I think I explain things better in person so ask me on friday and I will go through it with you
