AX Point Classification System

[SomebodyDial911]

V - thanks for asking. Very similar to last year, with two primary exceptions. 1) Participation points will be one point per event. 2) The top 6 events will be counted, since we are planning on more events this year (Dave - please chime in if my notes from the AX council meeting are incorrect).

To summarize the system:
First, Second, and Third Place awards will be determined for the 2015 Riesentoter PCA Autocross Championship Series. These awards will be determined with a points-based system that uses a PAX (Professional Autocross Index) system of scoring. This is essentially a handicap system in which a PAX value is assigned to each car class and is multiplied by the driver’s raw run time, resulting in a PAX time. For each event, drivers will be ranked according to the PAX time of their best run and will receive event points using the following formula:

Event Points = (10 Points) - (Rank #) + (1 Bonus Point for 1st Place)
Participation Points = 1 Point Per Event

Final point totals for the season will be calculated by summing each driver’s top six event points and cumulative participation points (no event count limit for participation points). Drivers must participate in at least 3 events to be eligible for Championship awards. Ties will not be broken.

Drivers are responsible for determining their own PAX car classification category using the framework outlined earlier in the thread. Any classification disputes will be resolved by the RTR Autocross Council in its sole discretion and with finality. For any questions regarding car classification, drivers should reply directly to this thread or email axcouncil@rtr-pca.org.
