Re: Tri Distance Championship - Scoring System

Post by Glenn Larson »

NO SPONSORED RACES
NO CLAIMS RACES
NO RACES AT PLAYER OWNED TRACKS

ALL OTHER RACES ARE ELIGIBLE

Points will be tallied in each division and used to score the tri-distance total as follows (simple spreadsheet)

Sprint Points (SP)
Mid Points (MP)
Route Points (RP)

Tri-Distance Total = SP x MP + MP x RP + SP x RP


Examples:

Horse A scores 300 points in Sprints and 0 in the other categories (300 total)
300 x 0 + 0 x 0 + 300 x 0 = 0 for Tri-Distance Championship

Horse B scores 125 points SP, 125 MP, and 0 RP (250 total)
125 x 125 + 125 x 0 + 125 x 0 = 15,625

Horse C scores 75 in each category (225 total)
75 x 75 + 75 x 75 + 75 x 75 = 16,875

In the examples, the horse with the least total racing points but spread over all distances would win the tri-distance championship.

Re: Tri Distance Championship - Breeding Support

Tu stimulate interest in the championship

Look for quick turnaround blue hen lease auctions this week


When nomination time gets here (first year of nomination would be year 59), I will award a $12.5k breeding credit for every paid nomination of a horse by one of my stallions. This is NOT a refund or rebate. It IS a credit toward future breeding to any of my stallions
