Performance Index Calculation?

[kl3640]

Hi, could someone please explain how the Performance Index is computed and for what purpose it is used in Championship Standings, Promotion to EX, etc?  I couldn't find it in the rule book.  Thanks.

I'm not sure how it's computed in full, but I believe the reason behind it is to help curb buying a #1 plate by just entering all the races. I don't think in anyway it stops it, but it helps bump up those better riders who can't show up to every race and nock off a few points from those that can afford every race weekend and race.

It seems to be:

[(T-A)/T]*1000 = performance index

where T = the total number of people in your races - including you.
        A = the total number of people that finished ahead of you.

What is it again that you teach? :)

History, Government, Sociology, Psych....you know...nice, easy, non abstract math, type subjects

History

Serious question to satisfy my curiosity - was there a math requirement for a history degree?

I had to fulfill two math requirements for my Bachelor's in Modern Social History at Southern. I took a Pre-Algebra and an Algebra course.

I tried desperately to get my brother to take my finals for me in both. He's an architect and all that black-art evil math comes easy to him.

LOL! All this time I did not know I was dealing in the black arts.

ISTR taking about 38 credits of math starting with 200 level calculus as an undergrad (double major - BS physics and math). Even took some while in grad school (MS physics).

I have done worse than figuring out the PI formula.

I think at this point, between both my history degrees, I have 35-40 hours of history, most is either Constitutional History or Social History.  I have 15-20 hours in Pol Sci too...So  I am extra BORING, just ask my students.

More math and physics. Chicks dig physics.

Until they hit about 30 that is!
