Would it not make it fairer and more realistic to drop the one round when it comes to the heat seeding?

Hi Lee
You're right the seedings are taken from the Championship table. The sheet reads who is entered, finds their championship score for that class and then sorts in ascending order. This is the admin bit. I then send that onto the Race Director and the rep. This is all a process without autonomy, so I can't be seen to influence anything. Once it gets to the RD and Rep, there is a clause whereby they can juggle as they see fit, but I will say it's really really admin heavy and that's why only one adjustment was made so far and that was because a driver physically couldn't marshal and a referee substitute was made.
I agree with you. The only thing is how it's designed without being hideously admin heavy and keeping it fair. My plan has been to get the seedings working on an average, which I have set myself a deadline for this weekend. I think this will have the same effect as you suggest, but it will be slightly easier to codify. (I think)
So the plan for the "most ridiculous spreadsheet in the world.xls" is for it
Find the driver associated with the race entry
Count up the scoring rounds,
Divide the total points by that number and issue that as the seeding onto the race director sheet.
This should equalise the drivers whilst being fair and true to the objectives set out.
