Default Attn Edgar points ??

can u explain i just read the points rules
how did Jay gain 115 pts in a 3round race (8car field)
10 pts tech
20 pts to stage for first rd
5pts for qual #4
60pts for 3 round wins
to me its comes to 95 total
am i missing something

i just cant understand you call it a 60pt swing for my runnerup
i see 20 pts for 1rd less win
and a -20 pt penalty for going under 10.0
to me it should be a 40pt difference


explain please
i could be wrong

You have found a problem with my points calculating program. I was so confident this class would fill the field I never allowed or an 8 car field.

The reason I call it a 60 swing is because Jay won the final and got 20 points, you lost and did not get the 20 you would have gotten if you won and the penalty is a 20 point loss so that is a 60-point swing.

Not only did Jay get 100 but I gave you 80 and should have given you 60 (20 stage and 40 for 2 round wins. Basically everyone got 20 more than they should have

Thanks for he catch.

Yes if you look at it that way and I will look at it may...it is 60. had you won, you would have gained 20, you not have lost 20 and he would not have gained 20....that it three 20's man.

Anyway, best of luck to you and you are lucky, I am not racing so you should not have any bad luck.

This series needs more races....you gonna disagree with that too? LOL
