Points in the series are scored as follows:

The First Place Finisher in each weekly race receives 1000 Points. The remaining finishers receive points based on this formula: Each competitorโ€™s time is divided in to the First Place Finishers time and then that time is multiplied by 1000. All weekly points are cumulative for eight weeks and the competitors with the highest amount of points after eight weeks, will determine our Awards Winners.

Hope to see you there!
