Points in Cactus Series events are awarded based upon two main criteria:
how many days in the event and how many participants in a division.
Event points start with a maximum of 100 points for a
single day event with 10 points added for each additional day. Divisional points are based upon a calculation:
- the maximum number of event points (E)
- divided by the participants for a given division (P)
- multiplied by the finishing position minus 1 (F)
- equals points earned.
- (E - ((E/P)* F)) = Points earned.
As an example, in a single day event with 10 people in the division a third place finish
would earn 80 points --
(100 - ((100/10) * 2)) = 80
A third place finish on the same day in a division of 5 people would result in 60 points --
(100 - ((100/5) * 2)) = 60
