Points system for Weekly races - Opinions please!

[Jugend]

I've been thinking about this for a day or two and I came up with a modified version of the system earlier discussed in the suggestion box.

Boom, you got a point with your remark about this being a series for racers to jump in and out of. Therefore only the last 5 races will be accounted for in the standings. This gives new racers opportunity to quickly advance the ranking to their skill-level. Also this encourages drivers to participate because if they don't they will be given a 0-score that will follow them for 5 weeks and make their total score drop.

Scores calculated as follows:

All times compared (pro-am-beg). Best time gets 100 points and after that 100 is divided with the number of participating racers. ex. 17 racers - the slowest time gets 100*1/17 points, the 5:th fastest time gets 100*13/17 points and so on.. the points-scale will be different in every race.

Class scores: 1st 20 points, 2:nd 10 points, 3:rd 5 points

this gives a max score of 120 points in each race and max 600 overall.

In the following two posts you can see how it will look, results from race 16 and the total standings..

I think a ranking like this can make this weekly-race series more fun, or what do you guys think? If you like this idea and want me to continue with this then please let me know, (let me know otherwise also )

[makaveli2k3]

that seems a cool idea...plus it makes me 6th overall lol

 

[Kelly]

Neat idea! 👍 if you need any help let me know.

 

[Kent]

I love seeing myself in the top five overall standings... but, and a big but...

I say nay/ boo.

The system proposed is a good one, but advances and lowerings in rank should not be based on a points system.

The way to advance is clearly stated in the original registering thread... those who show a consistant ability to out perform other racers in their class will be considered for rank changes.

Also, with your system the fastest drivers are ranked lowly, when in fact, someone like Max E can be the fastest racer here.

Bottom line:

I feel this system is great for fun, but for ranks and honest evaluations of skill, this system does nothing but provide an easy way to advance, or look like the fastest racers here.

I like the idea, but not the practice of that idea. (sounds like socialism to me )

Anyway, sorry to rain on you, I mean no insult.

Also, if you were to continue updating this system and continue your work, I would come back and check it all the time.

But to make this an official system of "grading" goes against what I got into this race for... fun and learning.

In all honesty, I am not too sure about a point system. I remember back when this series was getting formed, there was a big deal brought over by points. . . I have to agree with Kent and his fun and learning expereince over some testosterone scale of me being better then you. . . (no insult intended). Preferably if you want to make a point system, lets start up an autocross or real life race. Now that is something I would be all about. Even missing my miata . I think the idea is good, but it would not be ideal for this race series. I could see another series started up using it though, look into that.

Good points 👍

I liked the idea and the system but like you say it doesn't prove a thing when it comes to skill. Ron pointed that out to me also that it's all irrelevent and proves nothing

It would also be a load of hassle to do the 17 weeks we've had so far I guess some things are best left unchanged
And things would get a little too serious if we start driving for points and it would take all the fun away.

 

[pedrodaman]

Ahh you's are just pissed because im 3rd overall J.K (i Rule )

Im with everyone else here, i like the concept but it just won't work for this series..

I think we should go on as we have been.

 

[Jugend]

Thanks all for your opinions on this. You all got good points about this system, I thought that mabye this was something that could fit in here but since almost all of you are against the idea of a points based driver-ranking this idea will go right to the recycle bin...

See you on the track!

/D

 

[Max E.]

wow. according to this i suck ass
