Thread for discussing a new point system

so the worst part of the points system, the DNF rewards, is the bit the admins refuse to change? Like most of us i expect, i was completely un-aware that an early DNF could still result in full points (final position naturally), and it makes a bit of a mockery of all of us that try fighting to the end of a long race. Also how is it a deterrent to a driver from trying something stupid knowing he can still get a great haul of points despite ending up in a ball of flame with his unlucky opponent.
Like Matteo and others, i disagree with the DNF philosophy but you admin guys do a great job and i really enjoy racing here, so i'll go along with what you decide, just seems an odd call for a racing league

 

I liked the 6th proposal from @Matteo Santini best and since I couldn't find how I could vote separately for this proposal, I am posting it here:
50-40-35-31-27-24-22-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1

The positions between 20 and 30 could then go home with 1 point.

 

Yeah, I'll put a Proposal up. This is just Matteo's #5 but with Points for every position:

1st = 30 Points
2nd = 29 Points
etc.
etc.
30th = 1 Point - Decreasing by 1 per position.

Super short, super simple. But I still like Matteos "Modified MotoGP"/#5 the best w/ points to 20th

 

Dnf should not be awarded for points, other than that, dont really matter to me.

 

Are we allowed to vote for multiple, once it's all setup, like with the Cars/tracks for next season?

 

Ted Hough's Submission for a new "SRO GP" Points System.

This is a slight modification of 2010 F1 points with fewer points gap between positions to tighten it up - Also I like even numbers, sue me.


1st: 20
2nd: 18
3rd: 16
4th: 14
5th: 12
6th: 10
7th: 8
8th: 6
9th: 4
10th: 2

11th-30th = 0

Tiebreaker: Wins
Tiebreker 2: Pole positions

Note: This would work really well in multi-class because it's rare that we get an even 15/15 class split, typically it's one class with 12-18 and the other with 15-20, so, this should work well especially in that scenario. Another thing I think is really strong about this points system is that it makes every single position count for the same amount, therefore consistency and rapidity combined are really well rewarded by this.

 

I'm for a motogp system straight up, 25,20,16....1 for 15th place.

 

I know, that's why I suggested otherwise. Determining points and tiebreaks by anything other than raw driver performance is peurile.

 

Meh, maybe it's because I win so many races but I wouldn't feel good if somebody won the championship on a tiebreak due to a participation award.

Sport is supposed to be meritocratic.

 

I dislike this attitude and this system so much that during the next SRO series I participate in. I will show up every round and If I win the first 5, I'll get pole position for the last one, then not race, and hope the person in 2nd ties me. Then win the championship and make you deal with them when they go absolutely ballistic over it.

Imagine thinking launching a computer game takes effort when it takes 10+ hours of maintenance and two full-time jobs to run an amateur touring car every couple of weekends in real life.

If SRO has problems with lots of people who can't make every race - have them withdraw their entry, or give people 1 Drop-week.

 

Seems like some of you take this way too serious, we are here to race with full grids first, positions second, or least thats what I think. I don't like that people just complaining for points, rules, cars, refering etc., list go on and on. Bring your ass to track, shut up and drive, points can be calculated later if someone even care really...
