Even if there is no points for laps down, remember that people would be
scored based on the number of laps they are down.
So everyone on even laps would be ranked by points and order or finish, then
we would do the same with everyone 1 lap down etc. It would actually be
much easier to score if we could just give the negative points.

Will this be a true points race format, where lapped riders are charged 20
points and can get back into the field and sprint for primes? The 20 points
awarded for lapping the field implies this, but it's a weird (and wonderful
IMO!) race format so some clarification is probably good. Not that I'm
planning on being a lapped rider or anything... but it'd be handy to know if
I should stay in the race or not should I lose contact. Implied in this is
the notion that if a small group succeeds in lapping the field, they are
awarded 20 points and everyone is back on the same lap again and the entire
field can sprint for primes.
