How does the points system work?

Ive been looking at the series points so far, and i cant get my head around it.
For round 8 it, it says the James got 98 F2 points, and i got 96, but the results show that I beat him overall. Am I missing something here??

Stuart I spotted that myself and I don't understand why it is that way. I will change the results manually, but I am also going to ask Dale Burr about it.

Ahhhh ok.

Maybe every week is wrong, and I'm actually winning it by a billion points :p

[Colin Williams]

Feel free to check - but I have been editing results as we go ;)

I've only left this set up so I can let Dale take a look. All the results in the overall table are correct, it's only last weeks Formula results which are incorrect for one or two people - i will change them after this friday's results ;)

...take a average for a rough guide :cool:

You can use the "ability" score for that.

Stuart you are not going to like this - but the computer is right, and I am wrong when it comes to the F2 results :( Here is the explanation of how the results are calculated from Dale Burr:

Hi Colin,

I've had a look at the results on your website and the points are calculated correctly.

The reason they look confusing is that the final positions are different when you ignore drivers from the other formulas.

Leg 1:
1. James
2. Colin
3. Stuart

Leg 2:
1. Stuart
2. Colin
3. James

Total Points:
James 4
Stuart 4
Colin 4

So the results are actually a tie. This is then resolved on car number, which puts James (car 2) first, Colin (car 4) second and Stuart (car 6) third.

It does make sense when you look at it that way - it's just a bit hard to get your head around.

Crikey Blimey....Even the computers turning against me now!! :p

[Colin Williams]

Yep, looks that way ;)

I must remember to keep out of James' way this week - I'm sure he'll be on a charge to get good points if you're not racing :D

Oops - nearly forgot - it's only a Club Meeting isn't it :eek:

Well that does make the points interesting!!! Even looking at the alility there is not much in it.

Last nights results are now on the web site :)
