Here is a draft of the format and points system for the league which we intend to start in July with a test run to thrash out any issues and new ideas
Initially we will be running league format races to determine the starting rankings for the league’s different classes. Pilots will be ranked according to performance in races. This will allow new players and those with little experience to race against players of similar ability
Season Format:
Each season consists of 4 races per month
A Season will consist of 3 months
After the 4 races, the points are tallied for each player and points will accumulate per month for 3 months.
Only the player’s top 2 races are scored per week
The top 2 players from each class (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) at the end of a month will move up to the next class for the next month.
The bottom 2 players from each class will move down to the lower class for the next month.
The remaining 2 players from each class will stay in their respective classes for the next month.
At the end of the 3 month season an individual championship will be held as a separate event, with start classes and positions determined by the final total scores for that season
Overall Season Scoring:
At the end of the 4 seasons, the overall winner is determined by adding up the points from all seasons.
The player with the highest cumulative points across all seasons is the overall winner.
The year will finish with an open championship in all classes, using the random draw for the heats based on the MSFS2020 official series format
