2008 YAMAHA Festival State Cup Series

*Junior Clubman competitors using air-cooled engines have their weight set 5kgs less than those using water-cooled engines, as per the 2008 AKA Karting Manual.

Format
The 2008 Festival State Cup will be contested over 5 rounds for all classes, with classes split up into two groups that will race at separate race meetings. Participant’s final points are calculated from the four rounds in which they scored the highest points (i.e. the driver’s best 4 rounds).

All classes will get 4 heats at each round. The starting position for the first heat will be drawn randomly with the second heat being the reverse of the first. Accrued points from the first two heats (lowest points to the front using 0,2,3 system) will determine the grid positions for the third heat. The fourth heat will be gridded on the finishing order of the third heat. The overall positions will be determined by the accumulation of points from the 4 heats (lowest points = highest place).

Scoring System
The system used for all heats ( and finals when run ) will be the 0, 2, 3, 4 point system with non-finishers being awarded 1 more point than the number of competitors on the grid sheet for the first race. In the event of an oversubscribed class, all non-finishers in the heats are given 1 more point than the number of competitors in their race and non-finishers in the final will be allocated the track density plus 1. Where points are tied, competitors will be separated using rule 19.21 in the current rulebook.

The series scoring system is different to the scoring used at each round. All competitors receive points form each round they enter in, the maximum being 50. The overall winner of the round receives 50 points towards their series score, second place 48, third 47, fourth 46 and so on down the field. Where there is a tie in the overall series points, the competitor with the most number of 1sts (50 points) wins the tie. If they have no firsts, then ties are separated by number of seconds, thirds and so on until they can be separated. If the tied competitors have exactly the same result, then they will be separated based on the number of race wins, seconds, thirds and so on from each individual round.

Competitors should note that only the points and races from their four eligible rounds will be factored into a tied situation.
