BAeA Cumulative Points Tables Rules

 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.
 Rules for the Glider Trophy

Updated to 2008 Rules standard 12-06-08

 
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.
For example –

  »

Where there are 6 sports pilots and 3 intermediate, the 2nd pilot in the sports class will receive 29 points but the 2nd pilot in the intermediate class will receive 28 points.
  » Where there are 6 sports pilots and 2 intermediate, the 2nd pilot in the sports class will receive 29 points but the 2nd pilot in the intermediate class will receive 27 points.
