Ok TT brains trust... we need to put our thinking caps on! Background: I was at the St George committee meeting last night, and the whole vexed issue of the handicap came up again (for a lengthy discussion, actually). The short version is that nobody wants the handicap system, but they definitely want some way of ensuring that they don't get a string of people on exactly the same points total at the end of the year. This has happened before, and there wasn't a good way to resolve the situation - essentially 2 guys in different classes won every race in their respective classes for the whole year.

Some more info: The points scoring allocates separate points to each grade within a class, as well as each class. There need to be a minimum number of entries for a class to accrue championship points (not defined, but it's usually touted as 10 minimum per class).

So resutls for the meet look something like this. This is for the Clubsport 600 class, and as you can see A&B grade are scored together, but otherwise each grade get allocated their own points (so you are only racing for points against those in your grade).
