In the races where two mains are run, each main will be scored as above with the best score for the two races determining the order for awarding points. The finish in the second of the two races will determine the tie breaker.

To determine the series winner, the two low scores for the eight races will be reduced to one point for each race that any points were scored. The racer with the most points wins and any ties will be determined by the racers age, with the older racer winning.
