Re: OPA points system
 

Straight from the rule book.

ORDER POINTS
1…………..100
2 ................ 90
3 ................ 81
4 ................ 73
5 ................ 66
6 ................ 59
7 ................ 53
8 ................ 48
9 ................ 43
10 .............. 39
11 .............. 35
12 .............. 31
13 .............. 28
14 .............. 25
15………… 23
FOR EACH BOAT THAT THE FINISHING BOAT DEFEATS, AN ADDITIONAL POINT
SHALL BE AWARDED.

So if there are seven boats in a class it goes like this.

1 - 106
2 - 95
3 - 85
4 - 76
5 - 68
6 - 60
7 - 53

Re: OPA points system
 

OK work with me here Ron maybe I'm a little slow :eek: If I finish 7th in a race I will only receive 53 points and someone that has 2 boats in there class comes in 2nd they receive 91 points? Now after 3 races and the finish was the same order I would have 159 points and the other boat would have 273 points. Now how can I possibly ever catch up after 6-8 races. The worst that boat could get is 91 points per race in a 2 boat class.
After a 6 race series the worst the other boat would get is 546 points for last place. He would have raced against a total of 6 boats.
After a 6 race series and I average a 3rd place not last I would get 510 points but had to race against 42 other boats.
Which do you think is harder to win in??
Maybe I have lost my mind again but the math just doesn't seem to work for me.
If I won every race it works fine but if I break once and come in last just one the seasons over for the points race.
Do the math with 20 boats in one class and 3 in another if that helps.

How about taking away points for teams that break out :evilb:

This is a subject for the winter meeting.

As soon as it snows enough that you can't make it, we'll have the meeting. :evilb:

Re: OPA points system
 

Randy does have a very valid point. It can be solved by using a little math equation. Just give me a minute and I will work it out for you.

That's classic funny. Laughed my azz off. :drink: :drink:

Re: OPA points system
 

Randy knows we love him, even if he is a looser. :D

Actually, Randy has made loosing into an art form. He's taken loosing to an all new level. I guess you could say that Randy is the best looser in all of boat racing. :evilb:

Lets see some good solid suggestions.
