IE: Actual Finish Time (Minutes) divided by Laps Completed > 30 = Net Laps Scored. EX (1) 235”/ 5 Laps =47 > 30 = 5 Laps Scored(2) 203” /7 Laps =29 < 30 (Deduct 1 Lap) = 6 Laps Scored(3) if T/L = Less than 29.0 Deduct 2 Laps (ie: 231:/10 Laps=22 < 30 = 8 Laps Scored)(C) Ties are Broken by “Actual” vs “Estimated” (ie:4hrs) Finishing Time Differentials Closets to Zero.
