New Championship Points Scoring System for 2023
At the 2022 AGM, it was proposed and voted in that there would be a new championship points scoring system for OMRA races from 2023 onwards. This new structure would allow racers to score more points at events that had more entires per class than at other races that have fewer entires. Drivers can obtain more championship points by beating more of the opposition during an event.
Drivers are awarded a fixed point system from 10 - 1 depending on where they place, but they also receive additional points for every opponent they also beat in their class.
The below example is for class that has 7 entries.

It is hoped that this new scoring system will allow a bigger mix-up in the 2023 championship battle. However, non-championship racers can still retain trophies from where they place at an event and championship racers chasing points will be awarded points from where they place against all competitors in their class.
