Rules for the
Power Trophies
| »
|
Cumulative points trophies are awarded annually,
based on pilots’ rank order at contests throughout the season. Points
are awarded for each scheduled sequence flown on the basis of 30 points
for the best performance, 29 points for the second best and so on. |
 |
| »
|
In any trophy for a specific level, there is a maximum
number of sequences that can be counted. This limit is 80% (rounded down
to a whole number) of the total number of sequences that take place at
that level at BAeA contests in the UK during the year. |
|
|
| »
|
A pilot flying more sequences than the countable maximum
may discard his worst results until the maximum is reached. Points from
the BAeA / CAACI contest in Ireland may be included in place of worse
results achieved in the UK. In any Trophy open to all levels, the number
of points to count will be the lowest number to count at Standard,
Intermediate or Advanced that year. |

|
Any tie will be broken by reference to total points scored
before discards. |

| |
| There will be one points table combining
results from the Sports, Intermediate, Advanced and Unlimited classes.
All scheduled sequences at the Nationals and the Saltby Open will
provide scores for all classes, plus all scheduled sequences at the Dan
Smith for the Sports class. Sequences where a “cut” has been operated
will not be counted. |
|
|
| There will be no discards. The table order will be determined by taking the
average of the points scored, using the number of scheduled sequences flown in
each class as the denominator, with any tie broken by priority being given to
the pilot who flew in the larger class. |
|
|
| The same points structure as used in
power points tables will generally apply, i.e. 30 points to the sequence
winner, 29 to the 2nd placed pilot, 28 to the 3rd etc... However,
because class sizes are noticeably smaller a handicap factor will be
applied according to the size of class: |
|
|
| » |
If any class is half the size of any
other, 1 extra point will be dropped in the smaller class. |
|
|
| » |
If the class size ratio is 3 or more to 1
then the points drop in the smaller class will be 2. |

In the points tables on this web results that have been
'discarded' according to these rules have been
