SCORING
Riders earn race points in each of the motos according to
their respective finish positions. Winners are determined on the basis
of total points earned in all motos, except qualifying and consolation
motos. In case of a tie, the winner of the tie will be determined on
the basis of points earned in the second (final) moto.
For example: Rider A finishes first in the Moto 1, and second
in Moto 2. Rider B finishes second in Moto 1, and first in Moto 2.
Rider B wins the "overall" because Rider B posted a better finish in
the second moto, even though each rider has earned the same cumulative
amount of points.
The rider accumulating the most number of points will be declared the overall winner of the event.
