District 4 Championship Formula
The championship in each class is awarded on an earned-points basis, with eligible pilots (more on this later) earning points based on their finishing position at contests throughout the season. There is an incentive to attend a fair number of contests; you can’t just show up at the finals and take home the trophy. This year we currently have 8 contests scheduled in D4. Based on this number of contests, the formula for accumulating championship points is as follows:
1st place = 9 + 1 point for each person you finish above
2nd place = 7 + 1 point for each person you finish above
3rd place = 5 + 1 point for each person you finish above
4th place = 3 + 1 point for each person you finish above
5th place = 1 + 1 point for each person you finish above
6th and beyond: 1 point for each person you finish above
Total is the sum of your best 4 contests plus the doubled District Finals score.
One out of district contest can be counted towards your best 4.
You must be a current NSRCA member for your earned points to count towards a District Championship, even though you can still win the individual contest. Notice: as long as you join the NSRCA before the conclusion of the District Finals, you will be eligible for the Championship Title.
