DOTY POINTS SYSTEM

Driver of the Year (DOTY) points are calculated according to the following criteria:

• Only South Australian cars and financial members will be included when the points for any event are calculated, however only financial members will be awarded points and therefore be eligible for the DOTY award.
• Drivers will be given to the 31st of March in a given year to become financial. Once financial, points earned in the beginning of the year will then be back-dated and included in the DOTY. Points will not be back dated if membership is paid after the 31st of March.
• The DOTY will be calculated using results from all nominated interstate and local events.
• Interstate races will be awarded 60% of local races, that is each race contested will score the competitor 60 points for finishing the race, no matter the position.
• Each Hill-climb event will score the same as a single race, 100 points
• 20% of points are awarded for a DNF.
• Assessment period to be within calendar year, Jan – Dec.
• For events where online results may not be available, an entry list with times/positions shall be submitted.

CLASS POINTS

Points are awarded based on a two stage formula.
Initial points are awarded based on outright position.

Outright Pos.	Points
1st	1000
2nd	999
3rd	998
4th	997
and so on	996

The outright points are then multiplied by a percentage based on the the finishing position within the class.
The event points are divided by 10 and reported in the table above.

No. of starters	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	6th	7th
7	106	104	102	100	98	96	94
6	105	103	101	99	97	95
5	104	102	100	98	96
4	103	101	99	97
3	102	100	98
2	101	99
1	100

The above table if calculated by 101-((‘class position’*2)-‘total cars in class’)
