November 8, 201015 yr Hello folks, I want to have a championship but our riders are spread all around the country and are all varying abilities. Does anyone know of a points system that I could use to get one eventual winner???? I would use other clubs events and extract our riders from the results and award points but it's very rare we are all at the same event due to work and logistics. So how can I work out the points with people riding different routes, clubs etc Your thoughts please.

November 8, 201015 yr I initially liked your idea but having given some thought to the point scoring system needed, I don't think it would work. Having the same riders riding in various different events would work quite well, but having one rider in one event and another in a different one would make a points scoring system irrelevant. The severity of each trial would never be the same, even the finishing order would not bear any relevance as one event might attract better riders than another. Is it not possible to get all the interested parties to agree on a set number of events that they could all ride in? This would make a championship a meaningful one. Only my thoughts on the idea.

November 8, 201015 yr I guess you mean a championship for RAF riders across the country, based on your details. One approach you might consider used to be employed on the European Rally championship (maybe it still is ?) - is to have 'co-efficents' for each event. Forget the terminology, it sounds too complicated, but its just a multiplier based on the severity of the event. i.e. SSDT & Scott might be co-efficient 100, a Novogar 50, Normandale 25, centre 15, club 10 or whatever. So 20 points for a win on a (using 20, 17, 15, 13, 11, 10, 9 etc) Normandale would be 500, but so would 10 points for a sixth on a Novogar. Actually now I've started its interesting to think what the co-efficients would be ... hhmm, I need to get out.
