But, they want to ensure that we don't have a tie (or ties) at the end of the year! Not just for first, but down the line.

Thoughts?? How do other sports achieve this?
In weight lifting, the lightest lifter wins in the event of a tie so maybe we could do the opposite.

To break the deadlock: bonus points the heavier the rider
bonus points the older the rider
bonus points the older the bike model
deduct bonus points for every modification made to the bike

Since each of these things give someone an advantage over other riders, it seams fair to use them to break the deadlock.
