Scoring System

I was just wondering how the points system works and with the different players I see different levels (Champion, Expert...) there is no place on the form for this.

I modified this from another thread. When I can get around to doing it, I plan to add an explanation of the rank system to the Points System page:
Using an example of 65 players in a competition...
65 * 10% = 6.5 ... decimal is dropped ... 6 Kings: #1 is always Champion #2 thru #6 are King
65 * 20% = 13 ... #13 is last Master: #7 thru #13 are Master
65 * 30% = 19.5 ... decimal is dropped ... #19 is last Expert: #14 thru #19 are Expert
... and so on. This is exactly how SNES and F-Zero X are done. GBA is done the same way, but using 2.5% increments for the top 50% due to the A-D sub-rankings (which is because the membership total is so large). SNES and FZX will be getting the A-D sub-ranks in the near future in the top 50% in the near future.
Hope this explains it well enough.
Dave

Actually my question is about points. The leader Jimmy Thai has 90 pts. Were do these come from. I counted up all of his track standings and for NTSC he has 89 pts and for the overall he has 93 pts. I counted 3 times so I must be doing something wrong

Maybe so, if I'm correct the death race points don't count for the overall. Are you counting those into the total?

Dave's correct ... Death Race does not count in the standings. We keep track of DR times because it is so popular, but since it is a very different type of challenge, we keep it separate.

Sorry about that. It used to be mentioned in a couple of places on the site, but those must have been deleted in the improvement projects I've been doing. I'll put that notation back ASAP. Dave
