Re(1): Tied for 2nd Posted on 10/13/2014 at 12:52:38 PM by Jeff L.
Don's analysis is correct ... Kyle went +2 over Charlie after qualifying - then Charlie got those 2 back by finishing 2nd to Kyle's 3rd. The #7 and #11 tie in points.
MSA has the following tie-breaker procedures (last section of the rulebook)...
In the event of a tie in points, the following procedure shall break the tie:
a. Number of feature wins for the season
b. If a tie still exists, number of heat wins for the season
c. If a tie still exists, average qualifying position for the season
By Rule (a) above, Charlie Schultz is 2nd in the final points standings, and Kyle Edwards is 3rd.
A similar tie happened last year for 3rd place between #77 May Motorsports and #49 ACME Racing ... with #77 May Motorsports getting the nod to 3rd place by virtue of Rule (b) since neither the #77 or the #49 had features wins ... #77 had 1 heat win, #49 had 0. Replies:
