BAeA Cumulative Points Tables Rules

Rules for the Power Trophies This is the 2010 Rules standard
 
  » 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.
  Sequences or classes will not be counted if they are flown by only one pilot or where a “cut” has been operated. Scores will not be counted if a competitor is classed as H/C.
  » 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

 

 
There will be one points table combining results from the Sports, Intermediate, Advanced and Unlimited classes. All scheduled competition sequences will provide scores for all classes, save as follows:
  » All one-class scheduled sequences provide scores only for the nominated class (e.g. Sports class at the Dan Smith).
  » In open / mixed classes that combine alternative sequences for different classes, just one series of points is awarded in the usual 30-29-28 style on a ranked percentage basis.
  » Pilots flying in more than one class and not H/C will receive separate points scores in the table for each class in which they flew.
If all classes fly 8 or 9 sequences at events during the season then one discard is allowed for pilots who fly every sequence, rising to 2 discards with 10 or more sequences.
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. Where the tie is within a class priority will be given to the pilot with the highest individual score in any sequence. Where the two highest scores are the same then the next highest scores are considered until a difference is found.
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. This handicapping is applied on a competition by competition basis and therefore may come into play in some competitions but not in others.
  » If any class is half the size of any other, 1 extra point will be dropped in 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.
