| 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. |
