Question about point system:

[Anotherguest]

Extract from the rules:

I add together your points, and divide it with the number of races done. That`s a number between 0 and 10, the first part. The other part is: No bonus for your first entry, 1 point bonus from the 2. to the 8. entry, and 0.5 points bonus for the following 4 races, if you enter of course. These two parts together make the sum, and if 2 pipsqueaks have equal sum, then the average ranking decides. That`s all. I`m working on the team scoring, until it`s done, the points are simply added together.

Ok now let's take Roy's and Bonzai Joe's score: 79 points : 10
= 7,9  +7 points (2 to 8th entry) + 1 (9th to 10th entry)

This yields that they got only 7.9 points from actual racing and 8 points because they took part in this competition every month!

Now 95% of all pipsqueaks have a far worse average ranking than Bonzai and Roy and the difference between the points they earned racing and the points they got because they took part would be a lot bigger!

My conclusion is that it is a lot more important to race all but 1 month than getting good results. Imagine Alan Rotei would have entered 2 month earlier.He would still have no chance because the extra points have a huge influence....

Ok that was not really a question,it was an assumption.

The question is why the system is the way it is.I've a fairer system in mind....

[anotherguest]

My idea:

Rank in points + Rank in avr ranking -1 for all 4 races a player took part
lowest score wins

Bonzais score for my ideA: Rank in points: 1+rank in avr ranking : 3
-2 (bc he took part in 10 races) = 1+3-2 = 2

Alan's score would be Rank in p: 3 + avr r: 1 -1 (bc he took part in six races) = 3+1-1= 3

Bonzai would still be leading but Alan would still have a chance to win...

I think it's fairer this way..
what do you think?

i agree to say its ravaging.
