1.5.   Championship Rounds : PROVISIONAL TO BE CONFIRMED

1.6.   Scoring:

 

1.6.1.

Provisional points at a Championship Round shall be scored on the  basis of the following formula:

                                                1.00 - (time achieved - bogey time)                   x  10.00

                                                                        bogey time

The competitor with the highest provisional points score shall then bemawarded 10.00 Championship points.

Other competitors’   Championship points will be derived from the above as follows:

                                    Individual Competitors’s own provisional score x  10.00

                                                Best provisional score

The competitor with the highest provisional points shall then be awarded 10.00 Championship points.
Other competitors’ Championship points will be derived from the above as follows:
Where bogey times shall be the best time recorded in previous seasons for the Championship class at the course, to the nearest hundredth of a second, except that the class bogey will be assessed by the Technical Committee to adjust where necessary to make them relevant to the current competitors. In the case of a course new to the Championship, bogey times shall be calculated from the times recorded at the first event, for the following season. Where Championship classes are not represented at a new course, new bogey times may be extrapolated from the other classes, for the following season. In the case of existing courses where bogey times have not been recorded for certain classes, new bogey times may be extrapolated from those recorded from other classes, for the current season. In the case of an existing class bogey time being beaten in the current season by a competitor entered in a class having a lower nomenclature (as defined in 3.2 of these regulations), a new bogey time may be extrapolated from the other classes, for the following season. All extrapolated new bogey times to be superseded by lower actual times recorded, for the following season.
In the case of an existing course which has been modified and the new timings do not vary by more than 25% , then the current bogeys will be used. The new class course times recorded will be used as the bogeys for the following season. Where the new times exceed 25 %, then the course will be classified as a new course.
 

1.6.2. The best five scores shall constitute the competitor’s Championship result and the competitor with the best overall score for five events shall be the Championship winner for the year. In the event of a tie, the sixth best result achieved will be used to resolve the tie and so on.

 

1.6.3. Championship Points Appeal – Section O para 6.3.1, current MSA Yearbook, applies.
