Points system for regionals??

[dbizzle5]

I guess this is mainly a question pointed to Charlie and Jim but feel free to add your thoughts people.

Last year the points were done on where you finished in your final only and didnt take into account qualifying. For example, you could qualify 1st in the A but then if you broke your car in the final or some other misfortune happened to you and you finish last then you would only get points for 10th place. Personally I believe that where you qualify is worth much more than your final position and this points system gives an unjust score of a persons achievments of the day. Especially when the series only consists of 4 rounds and its your best 3 rounds to count. That means that you could qualify 1st in all rounds but just 2 bad finals and your done for!!!

I suggest a better system would be 200 points for qualify and 100 for final. ie 1st qualifier gets 200, 2nd 199 etc and the same for finals but from 100 down. This way your finals position still counts but is not so do or die if you have bad luck in the final.

What are peoples thoughts?
