DRIVER FORMAT / JUDGING

QUALIFYING (2x Solo Runs Per Driver)

Each solo run is judged on 4 aspects:
Line 10pts - Angle 10 pts  - Speed/Commitment 10 pts  - Clipping Zones 10 pts

Each aspect can be scored with a maximum of 10 points per aspect per run with a combining total (both runs)  max points 80

After qualifying drivers score will reflect their seed placement. Driver with highest score will take seed 1, second highest scoring takes seed 2 and so on.

EXAMPLE:

#1 DRIVER A (80 Points) vs #8 DRIVER E (40 Points)
#2 DRIVER C (76 Points) vs #7 DRIVER B (60 Points)
#3 DRIVER F (72 Points) vs #6 DRIVER D (62 Points)
#4 DRIVER G (70 Points) vs #5 DRIVER H (69 Points)

Higher seeded driver will be allowed to select lead or chase for head to head.

QUARTERFINALS / SEMIFINALS / FINALS ( Lead Run & Chase Run )

Each driver will lead one run and chase one run. Drivers will be judged on each run. 

LEAD SCORING
Line
Angle
Speed/Commitment
Zone Hits 

CHASE SCORING
Proximity
Line Match
Angle Match
Pressure / Commitment

3 JUDGE SYSTEM

Judges will decide which driver from each run they determined won based on their individual scoring and what they are looking for.

EXAMPLE:
Driver A: Judge 1 believes won
Driver B: Judge 2 believes won
Judge 3 believes too close 
= ONE MORE TIME (Max 2 OMT before forced decision)

Driver A: Judge 1 believes won
Driver B: Judge 2 & 3 believes won
= DRIVER B ADVANCES

If OMT is called the car that driver that has the highest seeded placement will maintain chase advantage
