Premium Member Comment by Rob Mcwhinnie on June 7, 2013 at 13:28: is newtons points going up soon?

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on April 22, 2013 at 13:08: Results from Keira 2012 drop out of the rankings today - a big shake up. Cam is just 3 points ahead of Benbro.

Check the Womens and Grom rankings too.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on April 20, 2013 at 18:07: A couple of races have dropped off the rankings as they are now more than 12 months old. Cam is slowly creeping up on Benbro's record for weeks at No. 1.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on November 13, 2012 at 9:59: I've completely changed the backend method for the way the rankings are calculated. There shouldn't be any change to the rankings themselves, so if you notice anything a bit weird, please let me know.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on November 5, 2012 at 11:52: Connor's Birthday Race has been removed as it is now 12 months old.

Premium Member Comment by bernie on September 11, 2012 at 13:40: Charity races are generally how we get councils to give us free or discount access to sites.

I think you need a minimum number of riders (say 16) before prize money counts, otherwise me, Hambo and Boomer will be racing for the same $1000!

Trav,

we will make sure you have plenty to skate in Melbourne.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on September 11, 2012 at 12:24: Trav, the prize money idea is interesting

The idea of points being based on number of riders is simple: more riders means the race is harder to win, and therefore should be worth more points.

Prize money is almost a substitute for number of riders (because more riders equals more income equals more capacity to pay prize money), but is subtly different. First, it encourages race organisers to give back to racers, which is, in general, a good thing. But it also has a direct effect on how hard it is to win the race, because the higher the prize money, the more likely that the best riders will attend.

But I can see a wrinkle - a race might be a high standard but have low or no prize money because it's for charity, or because the prizes are not cash but goods of some kind. Also, some people like to put on races with very low entry fees and low or no prize money because they like the low-key, grassroots, no pressure stoke. Those races might still attract a lot of people and be very high standard, and shouldn't be downgraded just because money isn't their focus.

In other words, while money is important, it isn't everything. Perhaps some sort of hybrid system could be the go, where, for example, a race could be categorised as 4a based on whether it met either of the following criteria:

* 48 or more riders, or
* $1,000 or more for first prize.

Maybe getting a bit complicated? What should the prize money cutoffs be for the three outlaw categories? And do we increase those cutoffs each year in accordance with the CPI? :)
