Rankings

• A Points system used. 1st team gets 100 points (basically 100%), the second team gets a “percentage”/score of their time. ie if 1st place took 67mins, 2nd took 107mins, 67/107 = 0.626 x100 = 62.6 points.

• Top 10 teams all get points (from 100 points downwards)

• Team with most points overall win the series (ie all races count)

• Grand Finalé (final race in Elgin) counts x1.5 points.

• CP’s missed are penalised based on Race directors discretion, if not unranked.
