Section 7 - Points Accrual
7-1	Eligibility for competition at the dB Drag Racing World Finals is partially based upon a competitor's point's accumulation throughout the season. To accrue points, a competitor must be a member of the dB Drag Racing Association and must compete at an officially sanctioned dB Drag Racing event. (Officially sanctioned events can be found on our event calendar at www.dbdragracing.com.) Points for Standard Classes will be awarded as follows: First Place - 8 Points Second Place - 7 Points Third Place - 6 Points Fourth Place - 5 Points Fifth Place - 4 Points Sixth Place - 3 Points Seventh Place - 2 Points Eighth Place - 1 Point Points awarded at multi-point events will be multiplied as follows: Double Point - 2x the standard points awarded Triple Point - 3x the standard points awarded World Finals - 4x the standard points awarded Points for Mini Street will be awarded as follows: First Place - 4 Points Second Place - 3 Points Third Place - 2 Points Fourth Place - 1 Point Fifth Place - 1 Point Sixth Place - 1 Point Seventh Place - 1 Point Eighth Place - 1 Point Note: Mini Street classes are not eligible for point's multiplication.
7-2	Only competitors who actively participate in a dB Drag Racing event are eligible to receive points for that event. Additional Guidelines: Competitors must compete in the event until they either win or get eliminated from the competition. At a minimum, competitors must establish a qualifying score. Example: If a competitor is the only entry in a class, the competitor must run through the lanes at least one time. No further participation in the event is necessary. If a competitor qualifies for the elimination rounds, and then leaves before he or she is defeated (or wins) the event, the competitor will not receive any points.
7-3	While competitors may switch competition vehicles at any time, at least 50% of the competitor's qualifying points must have been earned with the vehicle that will be competing at the Finals. (For example: If 100 points are required to qualify for the Finals, at least 50 points must have been earned with the vehicle that will be competing at the Finals.) Special Provision: If a competitor's vehicle is totaled in an accident or is stolen, the dB Drag Racing Association may, at the competitor's request, transfer all of the competitor's points to a different vehicle providing the competitor can prove that an accident or theft actually occurred. Typically, a copy of the police report and a copy of the insurance claim will suffice.
7-4	If a competitor is a show promoter (or is employed by a show promoter), at least 50% of the competitor's qualifying points must have been earned at shows other than his own (or his employer's).
7-5	Points are "non-transferable" between competitors.
