Autocross Season Scoring and Rules
- Your scored points for an event are calculated by giving the driver with fastest time for a class 1000 points. Each successive driver in the same class gets a percentage of 1000 points based on the formula (Drivers Time / Fastest Class Time) x 1000..
- Only the fastest runs of the day are scored.
- You must score points in at least 3 events per season in a single car in a single class to qualify for the season championship.
- You can compete in more than one class, but you can only qualify for season championship points in one class.
- If an event gets cancelled, the minimum number of events to qualify (3) will stay the same.
- Points cannot be transferred to a different class.
- Class standings are determined by the points total from each driver's 3 best events.
- In the event of a tie in point totals, the season average score (average of the driver's best 3 events) will be used to determine the season championship. If there is a tie in the season average scores as well, then the championship will be determined by the highest average score from the best 4 events.
