Championship points

[gpstar1]

When is the cut of date for points if your running for a championship? Is it when your region ends for the season, or is their a set date ccs goes by.

[Super Dave]

Yeah, um, when the season is over, that's when the points end.

Some regional championships keep going on after the Race of Champions.  That help?

[gpstar1]

Yeah, um, well, thats what i figured, but i just wanted to make sure. I didn't know if CCS had a set date before the ROC to determin who the champions were for each region and class(s).

[Super Dave]

ROC is a different story itself.

There is a date (SEP26th this year) where points are cut off for the ROC grids.  You could be gridded in the regional champion position but not win the regional championship...again, it depends upon your region.  If you've got races after that date or after ROC.

Question: Do you have to go to ROC to place in class pts...lets say you finish 3rd in a certin class without going to ROC..do you get anything?

The R.O.C. doesnt effect your Regional Championships.  If you dont go, it wont hurt you.

The R.O.C. is a winner take all type of deal for CCS National Championships.

Hi, Scott...

Glad you and Jesse could hook up...  I think that's a good thing...

I think it's pretty silly how CCS determines a national champion. Do 3 regional (or what ever the req to get to the roc) and win at ROC.  You only have to win 1 race to be a nat. champ.  Points don't me a thing...expect for gridding...whooptiedoo!

Ok got it. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm still learning the whole system.

Don't do any regional races and you find yourself at the back of the grid, or perhaps even at the back of a 2nd wave in Mid wt races. IF.. you fought all the way through 2 waves in a sprint race, you OUGHTA be Natl. champ.
By the same token, if you have the most points in your class for your region, you deserve to be on the front rows with other regional champs.

Yeah, but you still gotta win.

Guys have started from the front and not won even though they know the track.

Someone still has to ride the bike, good or bad.  

To be a regional champ, you don't have to win any races, necessarily.  How silly is that?  

Thomas Stevens did it in AMA Superbike in like 1991 or so too.

...whooptiedoo!

Not as easy as it may seem.  Try winning that 1 race!!
