The primary focus of the 2010 Arizona Masters Race Points Series is to include as many Arizona Mass Start Races as possible where the race fields are likely to be more than 10 racers! Team tactics and positioning will be pivotal to optimizing success in this Points Series.
The 2010 Points Series will be geared towards a more competitive environment where small teams will have just as much chance to succeed as large teams. Points will be harder to come by in 2010 trying to keep it close all season long. For points to be awarded a race must have a minimum of 10 racers finish the Masters Race category posted on the official scorebook. The 10 racers can include Registered Masters Racers and Non – Registered Masters Racers.
To encourage greater participation; race fields with more than 40 racers will earn 1.5% points.
