Points, standings and trophies

Standings are worked out from the final classification of each round and a points scheme you publish. This guide covers series (which have "Seasons" in the sidebar) and club championships (which have "Championships"). A series organiser sets the scheme for a season; a club organiser creates a championship and chooses the events it scores.

Only a final classification scores. If a round has none yet, it shows "Not yet" under "Final classification" and adds no points.

Club championships: create one and choose its events

Skip this section if you run a series. Series seasons are set up in Series and seasons.

1. Choose "Championships" in the sidebar.
2. Under "New championship", enter "Name", "Starts on" and "Ends on", then save.
3. Open the championship. Under "Events scored", choose the events and choose "Save events". Changing the events stores a new version of the standings if a scheme is already published.

Build the points scheme

1. From the season (or championship), open "Points scheme".
2. Under "Who scores and what is scored", enter a "Scheme name" and choose "Who scores" (drivers, co-drivers, or both as separate tables) and "What is scored" (overall, by class, or both). "An unregistered finisher" decides whether the places below close up or are held.
3. Fill in the "Points table": "Points by position", then "Points for every other classified finisher", "Points for starting" and "Points for starting but not finishing".
4. Add bonus points if you use them under "Bonus points": "Power stage points" and "Entry bonus".
5. Under "Dropped rounds", choose how rounds are dropped, for example the best N rounds count, or the worst K are dropped.
6. Set "Minimum starters in a class" and what happens to a class that is short of starters.
7. Choose your "Tie-breaks" in order.
8. Choose "Save the draft".

Set the rounds

Under "Rounds" on the same page each event of the season is listed in date order.

1. Tick "Counts toward the series" for each round that scores.
2. Set "Multiplier in hundredths" for a round that is worth more or less (100 is normal).
3. Choose a "Power stage" if the round has one.
4. Choose "Save the rounds in the draft".

Check before you publish

Open "What-if preview" to see standings worked out from your saved draft. Nothing is stored until you publish.

Publish the scheme

1. Under "Publish", choose "Publish the saved draft". Publishing uses the saved draft, including the rounds.
2. A published version cannot be changed. To change the rules, edit the draft and publish again. "Published versions" lists every version.

Read and share the standings

Open "Standings" (or the season's standings page). It shows the stored version, which scheme version it used, and when it was stored.

• "Recalculate now" stores a fresh version from the latest classifications.
• "Versions and changes" lists earlier versions and what changed between them.
• "Print all tables" and the CSV link give you paper and spreadsheet copies.
• Under "Public standings", set "Standings are public" to "Yes, show the latest stored version to everyone" and choose "Save public settings". Then "View public page" opens the public page. The default is "No, only the series sees them".

Join two entries for the same person

If a competitor appears twice (a different spelling, or an entry under another name), open "Same person tool". Under "Join two competitors", pick "This competitor" and "Is the same person as" and save. The points are counted under one name. "Merges in force" lists what you have joined, and you can undo a join.

Award a perpetual trophy

A perpetual trophy goes to the leader of a standings table and is kept as a record.

1. Open the championship (or season) page and find "Perpetual trophies".
2. Enter the "Trophy name". Use the same name every season so the holders are listed together.
3. In "Awarded to the leader of", pick the table.
4. Choose "Award the trophy" and confirm in "Award this trophy?".

The holder is the leader in the latest stored standings. An award is permanent: an owner can later replace or withdraw it with a reason, but the original stays in the history. On the championships list, "Download the holders as CSV" gives you every trophy and holder by season.

If something goes wrong

• "Standings appear once a points scheme is published and at least one round has a final classification." Publish a scheme, and publish a final classification for at least one round. See Series and seasons.
• The fields are greyed out. Your role cannot manage the scheme; ask an owner.
