David,
Thanks for posting this, I know this has come up as conversation between many of the regulars out there, I'm sure I am sure you have already thought of it, but would be good to get this on the Monday PIR site so that anyone not understanding the points system can look it up.
Also, to make sure I am not misunderstanding, in your explaination of the points system in your post you wrote, as an example :
"You pick up 4 points in the hot spot (2nd place) and finish 8th
(4pts). So you get 12 points overall. "
Was this a typo ? I would assume I had earned 8 points total for the night (which would then be compared up with everyone else's points to deterimine the final top ten placings for that night which would then be assigned points towards the monthly series?
One last clarification; several riders have asked me why they got a different place for the evening even though they had the same number of points as another rider for the night. My explanation was that the rider who finishes higher on the FINAL sprint of the night determines the tie-breaker between those riders. But want to make sure that is correct.
Thanks for posting this info up David, I really appreciate all you folks do at PIR that allows me to be able to race my bike down there and have fun!
Cheers,
Rick
