Hi all,
Thanks for the input and debate on the point system, it shows the region is alive and well!
After a discussion with Charlie I have decided on the following options for points for 2008.
1. To carry on with the current system as per the National series which is the 130 points system with an additional point for TQ
2. To use the 100 points system for qualification and 100 points system Finals, no additional points for TQ as it's already covered by the qualification points.
Both are proven to work.
When qualifying for finals with no points awarded for qualification, every driver knows he is just looking for 2 good scores to get him into the A final without "racing" other drivers.
When scoring points in the qualification stage, every round becomes more like a final and the racing can become scrappy especially with the lower grades.
When away drivers attend we can allow them to run in the qualifying heats with drivers from the region be remove them from the points system and put them into a seperate final of there own.
This can cause some delays and additional work for the holding club as the computer system will need the finals to be manually ammended, but should not cause to much of a problem.
Also we do not know what computer system the clubs are using and a manual scoring system will be used for now. I created last years system in Excel and I'm happy to do the same again as I work with Excel every day.
So with all the above what is your preference on the 2 options for points in 2008.
Thanks
