I've updated the season points totals.
You will notice some changes. I removed the total point table as that simply reflected who entered the most classes. I think it was pretty much useless data.
A Performance Index that determines the best rider in the club is probably better. That's what I did for the North American Porsche series and there will be a refined version of that going into the new British Superbike registration, gridding and scoring system that I'm writing for 2024. Let me know your thoughts on that. I can reuse some of the code. It will even let you compare key data points for up to 5 riders.
When I ran the initial set of results I actually felt really, really bad as people lost points and positions in the overall standings and in many cases were actually pushed out of the points.
What I ended up doing was I just disqualified myself.
When I ran the numbers again it 98% preserved peoples points and positions at year end, so I feel so much better about this.
Unfortunately, I disqualified myself in all classes including endurance, but I just can’t be bothered running it again. I put together a list and sent it to Michale Vinton at to why my bikes may not be legal as justification.
There is also one issue I know of where Alan Burns got credited with some of Marc Reumes passenger points but I lost the email from Michael Vinton and I can remember what to change
Unfortunately, its IBC this week and I’m up to my neck in customer meetings and I have a Presentation and 2 Panels so I’ve asked the CC or Tech Chair to run a simple command against the web site to reorder and make the stuff visible again. It has to be run on something with an 8086 architecture (Windows or Old Mac’s). I do have my Mac with me but it has the new M1Max processor. It'a a completely different instruction set
When its visible – it should be now - please let me know if you have issues.
HOWEVER, BEFORE YOU SEND ME MAILS AND PRIVATE MESSAGES REMEMBER…
I don’t get paid for this. I’m a volunteer.
PLEASE SHOW AT LEAST A LITTLE RESPECT AND TONE DOWN THE COLOR COMMENTARY.
That’s probably the primary reason why SOAR is so appealing as that left a really bad taste in my mouth. I simply did what I was told based on the 2023 rule book. I can post the email thread if you want to read it yourself. I did not deserve that.
Like I said, all you have to do is ask me nicely.
I just had a PM about some lap record changes. It was very polite, nicely written, well thought out and contained actual facts that the person had researched before putting fingers on a key board. It was a pleasure to open. Thank you for that if you are reading this.
