Yep I found the info I was after, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Two things, first of all Dean Harris should of only received 15 points as he finished second to last so that makes 10 + 5 but he was allocated 20. And Peter you are wrong about the P/C points in Off Shore. Sure it is on merit that the points are allocated but if there are two or more boats of the same class competing they get an extra 5 points per boat. This is where the anomalies are, a person could be running a P2 boat and finish 1st overall and then there could be 5 P3 boats finish behind him and they will gather more points than the P2 entry if he is the only entry. There is no incentive to run a nitro, P1, P2 & PX especially when this occurs. Cheers

Which is exactly why I don't support points systems based on the number of entries. They devalue the effort of those that turn up to support the smaller classes. If people really cared about collecting points they'd all build boats in lesser contested classes and take the easier points. The interesting result would be the re-emergence of some classes, and the sport would grow again.

The current points system has only been in place for the last 2 maybe 3 years. Prior to that it was a set number of points for each placing per event and I think 50 points per record. Events that qualified were records, Nationals and sanctioned events.

Hi Brian the PC point results and workings
