Points
This is a timed event and points will be awarded in each division throughout the series as such:

1st Place = 20 Points
2nd Place = 15 Points
3rd Place = 12 Points
4th Place = 10 Points
5th Place = 8 Points
6th Place = 6 Points
7th Place = 4 Points
8th Place & onwards = 2 Points

Bonus Points
To reward effort, bonus points will be awarded if you can run faster than your previous time:

1 consecutively faster run gets you 5 bonus points
2 consecutive faster runs gets you 10 bonus points
3 consecutive faster runs gets you 15 bonus points
4 consecutive faster runs gets you 20 bonus points

So, this new points system means you could play the strategic game at the beginning of the series. If you are slower on any run your time resets and you will only get 5 points if you beat this time on your next run. If you are then faster on the next run you will get 10 points. Just don’t sand bag too much, otherwise you will miss out on the primary finishing position points.
Even MORE Bonus Points
To reward those who are able to get along to most of the events, we have some additional bonus points to give out.

4 Grand Prix Runs = 15 Points
5 Grand Prix Runs = 20 Points
