Points mean prizes - a new system for 2002/03 : 9/9/02

The League has a new points system for the 2002/2003 season.

The League will still score through the race field and race categories, but now the winner and places in the top 10 have new points scores.

This means that riders have a greater chance of building a rankings lead, last year 1st and 2nd the points difference was 1 in the Senior category and now it is 6.

Seniors
1. 100 points
2. 94
3. 90
4. 86
5. 83
6. 80
7. 78
8. 76
9. 74
10. 72
11. 70
12. 69
13. 68
14. 67
15. 66
16. 65
17. 64
18. 63
19. 62
20. 61
21. 60
22. 59
23. 58
24. 57
25. 56
26. 55
27. 54
28. 53
29. 52
30. 51 and further reducing by 1 point per place

All other categories (vets, women etc.)
1. 50
2. 44
3. 40
4. 36
5. 33
6. 30
7. 28
8. 26
9. 24
10. 22
11. 20
12. 19 and further reducing by 1 point per place

Is this a good idea?
