Best 10 scores from 18 rounds to count (plus bonus marshal points if applicable) unless rounds drop to 15 then the Championship Co-ordinator will try to find a suitable replacement in good time (B.8.4 (c)). If that is not possible, the Championship will be decided on ‘Best 10 scores less one for each round lost”. (Thus, best 9 from 15; best 8 from 14, etc.)

 

1.5.3 Obtaining regulations for championship rounds is the responsibility of the registered contender and neither the club or its officials will be held responsible for a competitor’s failure to secure an entry. Please note that reserved places are not held open by organisers.

 

1.6 Scoring

1.6.1 Members can only score points in one car per event. It is up to the member to advise the Championship Scorer which vehicle is to score, (if more than one is entered, before the start of the event.)

Points will be awarded based on class position (regardless of class size) as follows:

1st in class 10 points; 2nd 9 points; 3rd 8 points; 4th 7 points; 5th 6 points; 6th 5 points

All other finishers will be awarded 4 points. (To be a finisher, competitor must complete one timed run).

A competitor making FTD will receive 12 points, regardless of class size.

One extra point will be awarded for each class competitor beaten up to a max of 5pts.

[E.g. class of 10 places 1st to 5th will get 5 points, 6th – 4pts, 7th – 3pts, 8th – 2pts, 9th – 1pt,

10th – 0pts.

Class of 14 places 1st to 9th will get 5pts, 10th – 4pts, 11th – 3pts, 12th – 2pts, 13th – 1pt, 14th – 0pts.

class of 4 1st – 3pts, 2nd – 2pts, 3rd – 1pts, 4th – 0pts,]

(Any driver who starts practice, but fails to complete a timed run, will be considered as a ‘competitor beaten’ by a finisher. Competitors must advise the Scorer where this occurs, as such cars may be shown as DNS in the results.)

FTD winners will score the extra points against their regular classes.

2 points will be awarded to contenders starting practice but not completing a timed run.

7 bonus points will be awarded to a registered competitor who marshals or acts as an official at any of the 7Oaks organized Nat B events in lieu of competing, i.e. Speed Events, Spotted Dick Stage Rally, Kent Rally and the Rally of Kent. It is the responsibility of the competitor to inform the Championship Co-ordinator when and where this occurs on the form provided or via an email endorsed by an official at the event being claimed. (Also see 1.7.2)

1.6.2 In the event of a tie the MSA standard method will be used, as defined in J 3.4 of the MSA 2006 Yearbook.

 

1.6.3 Appeals arising out of the Championship classification or points, must be made in accordance with Section O6.3.1 of the MSA Yearbook 2006.
