TallyChase points for Season 54

Post by JoshM »

The TallyChase points have been updated. Below is an explanation:

Drivers can make the playoffs by doing either of the following:
1) Finish in the top 10 in points at the conclusion of the regular season, OR
2) Finish in the top 20 in points at the conclusion of the regular season AND win a race.

The playoffs will be 5 weeks with 2 cut-off races and a championship race. After the second playoff race, we will cut the field down to 8 drivers. After the fourth playoff race, we will cut the field down to 4 drivers. In the 5th race/final race, the highest finisher of those 4 drivers wins the championship.

Any playoff driver that wins a playoff race will advance to the next round. When the cut-off races take place, we will advance the drivers who won a race in that round of the playoffs, and then go by points after that. So for example, if a playoff driver wins playoff race #1 and then has a bad race #2 and finishes last in points, he will STILL move to the next round of the playoffs, replacing the last driver that would have made it on points.

Regarding bonus points, the regular season champion will receive 3 bonus points in the first round and 2 bonus points in the second round. Also, each regular season win will give a driver 3 bonus points in the first round and 2 bonus points in the second round. Bonus points for wins in the playoffs are available as well in round 1. Any driver winning in the second round of the playoffs advances to the championship race.

Bonus points are also given for points standings. In the first round of the playoffs, there will be 3 bonus points per regular season points position. NOT including any bonus points, the regular season champion would have 30 points, the next driver would have 27 points, and so on.


FOR SEASON 53, we had 11 drivers make the Chase. The regular season points are below:
Driver - Points Behind
1 Chuck McClure --
2 Tim Noftsker -45
3 Grant Wessley -64
4 Jeremy Jeffries -69
4 Joe DiSpirito -69 (tie for 4th)
6 Donnie Garrett -71
7 John Godfrey -76
8 Bob Seminara -79
9 Jessica Shelton -89
10 Josh Metallic -93
16 Dave Melson -132 (made playoffs by winning a race)


And after bonus points, here is how they will start the playoffs:
Chuck McClure 39 (30 for first in points plus 3 points for regular season points championship & 6 points for two wins)
Tim Noftsker 30 (27 for second in points plus 3 points for one win)
Grant Wessley 27 (24 for third in points plus 3 points for one win)
Jeremy Jeffries 27 (21 for fourth in points plus 6 points for two wins)
Joe DiSpirito 21 (21 for fourth in points)
Donnie Garrett 18 (15 for sixth in points plus 3 points for one win)
John Godfrey 12 (12 for seventh in points)
Bob Seminara 9 (9 for eighth in points)
Jessica Shelton 6 (6 for ninth in points)
Josh Metallic 3 (3 for tenth in points)
Dave Melson 3 (0 points for finishing outside top ten plus 3 points for one win)

When we get to the second round of the playoffs, we will again reset the points, giving 2 points per points positions and 2 points per win. The regular season champion will also have 2 bonus points for this round.
