Championship points will be assigned, and eligibility for awards will be determined, in accordance with the following rules:
SEASON SCHEDULE
Because FAST takes the month of August off, our championship season begins in September and ends at the end of July.
EVENT POINTS
In order to qualify to earn championship points, you must be a FAST member. Points will be used to determine who receives awards at the end of the season.
Points will be awarded to drivers in each official class for finishing order. Order will be determined by the single fastest run time in each class for each event.
- First place – 9 points
- Second place – 6 points
- Third place – 4 points
- Fourth place – 3 points
- Fifth place – 2 points
- Sixth and lower – 1 point
Only regular autocross events (for example, not Endurocross) will be points events.
EVENT AWARDS
Awards will be presented to drivers who finish First, Second and Third in class for each event, and for posting the Fast Time of the Day. Awards will be presented for all classes, regardless of number of drivers in each class.
Awards will be presented at the next event, or as arranged by the winner and the FAST points coordinator.
SEASON AWARDS
At the end of the year, awards will be presented to members finishing First, Second and Third in each class, based on a sum total of points earned in a given class. In order to be eligible for season awards, you must have competed in at least 4 events in a class. Drivers are eligible to win awards in only one class. Awards will be presented for all classes, regardless of number of drivers in each class. Year end awards will be presented at a year end dinner ceremony, or as otherwise arranged.
NEW FOR 2008: The number of events scored per driver will be the total number of points events MINUS ONE. Any driver who has competed in all points events will drop their lowest finish.
OTHER
In the event of a tie, the driver with more higher finish positions will win. For example, the driver with the most first place finishes wins. If first place finishes are equal, second place is examined and so on. If two drivers have exactly the same finish record for the season, then their finishes against EACH OTHER are examined. If there is still a tie, an awards committee will be convened to devise a fair method to determine the winner.
Any corrections for the record – times, finishing positions, classings – must be requested prior to the next event.
