is not clear when you have to be a member so I am going to award District
Championship trophies to those that meet the criteria. Which means if you
attended four contests this year as a non-member of the NSRCA but then enrolled
and sent your money in the day before the District Championships... You, in
fact, would be eligible to be awarded the Championship title. Because at
the time of trophy distribution you would be a current member in good
standing.</FONT></DIV>

color=#000000 size=2>The season is worth 100 points (three scores/contests) and
the final contest (District Championship) is also worth 100 points (one
score/contest) and the champion of each class is the best of 200 possible
points. The season (100 points) comes from three contests each normalized
by taking the three best scores and dividing them by 40 (gets the number to be
in 100ths) and then by 3 (minimum contest requirement). The District
Championship event is only divided by 40 to get the number to be 100 or less...
Thus creating a season worth 50% of your final score and a Championship event
worth 50% of your score.<BR><BR>For example: If I attend three contests
and win all rounds in all three contests I would receive 33.33 points for each
contest (4,000+4,000+4,000)/40/3=100 or 33.33+33.33+33.33=100, however, if I
attend three contests and finish with scores of 4,000+4,000+3,980 my total score
for the season would be 99.83. Only those that have won four or more
rounds in any given event will be rewarded 33.33 points which means that you can
finish in first place for an event but not be awarded 33.33 points for the
event.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV></DIV></FONT></SPAN>

NSRCA members accrue Championship points from every contest they enter. The
