Current rules
6.3 QUALIFYING SYSTEM
Qualification will be run in accordance with the current IFMAR ruling concerning
combined points, specifically;
6.3 a) In each round, drivers will score points based in the laps and times achieved. The
maximum number of points awarded to the best driver will be equal to the total number of
participants plus 5 (five).
Fastest in each round will score: number of participants, +5 points.
2nd fastest will score: points of fastest driver, -2 points.
3rd fastest will score: points of 2nd fastest driver, -1 point.
Down to last position one by one.
6.3 b) In every round, in case of a tie, the points will be equally awarded to each driver, and the
first driver not to tie, will receive one point less per tie.
For example, with 120 drivers racing, maximum number of points is 125.
1st driver will score 125 points
2nd driver will score 123 points
3rd driver will score 122 points
4th driver will score 121 points
5th driver 7 laps, 10:01:00 will score 120 points TIE
6th driver 7 laps, 10:01:00 will score 120 points TIE
7th driver 7 laps, 10:01:00 will score 120 points TIE
8th driver 7 laps, 10:10:00 will score 117 points
6.3 c) In a case of two or more drivers having the same point score, the next best point score
determines position. If still unable to resolve with the next best rounds, then the driver with the
fastest laps and times in his best score will determine position.
6.3 d)
The drivers best four (4) rounds shall be counted when calculating classification's
ranking and points score.
6.3 e) One hundred and twenty drivers (120) will be entitled to a sub-final.
6.3 f) If a driver does not start a heat, he receives no points.
