Tiebreaks for MAR standings #68

Open johnwheffner opened 7 years ago

johnwheffner commented 7 years ago

Do we actually have tiebreak rules? I think it's by number of individual points, but I'm not actually sure.

jyundt commented 7 years ago

Hmm, MAR tiebreaker might be based on "most MAR wins"?

johnwheffner commented 7 years ago

At least, if we don't have a tiebreak, the ranking should show the same place, not pick one arbitrarily.

jyundt commented 7 years ago

Let's go with similar logic to overall standings:

greater number of "MAR wins" (e.g. 1st place MAR) breaks a tie.
greater number of 2nd place MARs breaks a tie in the event of equal "MAR wins"
greater number of 3rd place MARs breaks a tie in the event of equal 1st and 2nd place MAR results

Thoughts?

I'm going to ask for an official ruling on this before implementing. And that tiebreak scheme can still lead to ties so we need to handle ties, too.

johnwheffner commented 7 years ago

Assuming Jack pays attention carefully to minor mar placings, http://acaracing.com/points16.html suggests that overall individual points ranking is the tiebreak.

jyundt commented 7 years ago

Good catch, I think an official ruling is probably in order.

johnwheffner commented 7 years ago

You and Kirchin tied in individual points last year.

jyundt commented 7 years ago

Does that mean I'm on GPOC now?

johnwheffner commented 7 years ago

Another tiebreak question -- how far down does the tiebreak go? Only as far down as points or all the way? @jyundt, Kirchin has you with one 9th place finish.

jyundt commented 7 years ago

@johnwheffner I think you need an official ruling from someone in the ACA.
