| Club Championship – Points System 2026 |
|---|
- 1st runner in gets 50 points. 2nd runner gets 49 points, etc. The aim is to get the highest score.
- You need to complete a minimum of 4 races or a qualifying race from the categories to get your score. (You will only be scored off your best 4 performances).
- If there is a tie-breaker, the 5th race will be used if available, then the 6th if still tied, etc. If there isn’t a 5th result to go off, then it will come down to the races marshalled.
- Points will be allocated within each division and not across the board.
- Division champions are given the option to be promoted
- New members will be placed in a division based on their performance in their first qualifying race.
