Can someone explain the points system?

[gpz11]

OK, I was just looking at the class points and the overall points and things just don't add up to me.

What are the adjusted points vs. points vs. performance index?

Also my class points don't add up the my overall points.

Can someone explain these things to me? I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

You need to read the rulebook regarding what classes are counted towards overall points. (Not all of them are.) This has been covered repeatedly here, but I posted the link to the rules in case you didn't have it.

I did a search for it figuring some one has covered it before but I wasn't able to locate anything.

I also just did a search on the rule book for "performance index" and got no results. I also tried "index" and got no results either. No results on "Overall points".

If you could tell me the page number in the rule book, I'd really appreciate it.

Ok, I just found the answer about the overall points.

From the rule book:

8.2.3 Regional Overall Championships (Amateur and Expert Divisions) will be assigned
in each series by combining all points scored in all SuperSport classes, all SuperBike
classes, all GT classes, Lightweight Grand Prix, Middleweight Grand Prix and
Unlimited Grand Prix by each Amateur ranked rider during the season in that series.
The rider with the most points will be recognized as the Regional Overall Champion.

Section 8.  Specifically 8.2.

There are double points weekends which count for twice the points.

Performance index =

(# of riders - number of riders who finished ahead of you) / number of riders * 1000

For intance, if you came in 3rd in a race of 10 riders,

10 - 2 = 8
8/10 = .8
.8x1000 = 800

Your overall performace index is an overall average of your class averages.

Are they calculating these by hand?

Are they calculating these by hand?

Yes, they use the SuperDave system, however, so they can only count to 21.

I know the performance index formula, but what is the formula used to calculate the P.I.-adjusted points?

I want to make sure mine are correct.  My regular points calculations don't match those of CCS, so I doubt my adjusted points would match.  Additionally the points printed out at the track don't match what is on the website.

since we are explaining the points system:


What does it take to become expert? Top 5 in class, overall, performance index, actual points, a heart felt letter, cookies?

I'm a yellow plated sissy, and I'm on a 10 year plan to eventually become expert (I just like the white plates, that's all).

basically 400 points in 12 months.  I think I'll go for it next year.
