Points System
Championship points were awarded on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis to the first six placegetters in each of the two classes. Bonus points were awarded on a 4-3-2-1 basis to the first four placegetters irrespective of class. Only the best six scores counted towards the championship totals.
Where a round was contested in two parts, points were allocated on a 20-16-13-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis to the first 14 place-getters in each part and then aggregated. If more than one driver attained the same total, the superior round placing was awarded to the driver who was higher placed in the last part. Championship points were then awarded for the round.

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or system:
“We only part to meet again.
Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
The faithful compass that still points to thee.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
