RANKINGS
OVERVIEW
Racers earn points by competing in any Midwest Paddle League event. Awards will be given to the Top 5 racers in each division - recognition will be awarded at the final race of the season.
How do I qualify? Simple, racers must simply complete more than one (1) event to qualify for season rankings.
How does it work? Racers earn points based on their finishing position. Racers will have points from their best five (5) results calculated. Racers who compete in more than 5 events will have lower results replaced.
Note, no points will be awarded for the final race of the season - just bragging rights!
