Re: Vets - New Points System Please

Resolving ties in Vet results:
Perhaps when several vets score max points, we could have a system where the last vet on max points get max points, the next faster vet gets max+1, then max+2 etc.
An odd point here or there will not make much difference to year end rankings, EXCEPT the situation where several people have a clean sweep of 500s from div 2 - if some people have a 501 os similar reflecting that they were a bit faster than the other vets in that race, it would be enough to tip the points in the favour of the vet who wins when several are scoring max.
We could possibly do the same or opposite where vets tie in last place (opposite = fastest gets min points, next gets min-1 etc.) but very often there are vets tied in the middle (or at least above the paddlers with 50s penalties) so if last goes opposite what to do with middle? Actually, I think leave mid field and last place ties alone, it only really makes a difference to ranking for ties on max points.
If we adopt multipliers, the +points should be added after mulitplying so they have minimal effect, just to resolve race day ties and end of season ties.
