How Screwed Gamers Points work for CANZ

[Scav3nger]

It's been a few days since announcing the addition of Screwed Gamers Points, and since the majority of their use at the moment is going to come from CANZ it should be outlined exactly how they are going to be used for the Racing Community.

For every series you enter, the points you earn for racing are added to your points bank in an end of series payout, this goes along with your points for replying, creating threads, and voting in polls. Points will also be earned for taking part in social nights. Team points are tracked in the CANZ database. In future we'll be adding features that will enhance the extra-racing aspect within the community, but rest assured we'll get everyone's input before implementing anything major. To start with, we've already outlined in the regulations that it will cost points to form a team within CANZ but hadn't previously put a price on the creation, team formation costs will occur as follows:

Single driver creation - If a single driver is creating a new team, it will cost the driver 2,000 points from their points bank, drivers can join existing teams and take part in social nights to amass the points necessary or can share in a dual driver creation.
Dual driver creation - If two drivers are creating a new team, it will cost each driver 1,000 points from their points bank. Sharing the cost across two drivers lowers the amount necessary to form the new team, and also fills the line up.

The forums "donations" system allows for members with points to essentially fund another members actions. Say, for example, you introduce a friend to CANZ and both take part in a social night, you can donate the points earned to your friend to help them get a kickstart in their CANZ career.

Current point distribution:
Race meet for drivers: Points equal to those earned as per CANZ points system paid in full at the end of a season (250 for 1st place, 200 for 2nd, and so on)
Race meet for teams: Combined total of competing driver(s) added to team points bank.
Social night: 500 points, bonus 250 for introducing a friend to CANZ
Championship Bonus: 1st place in drivers championship title earns a bonus 1,000 points
Championship Bonus: 1st place in teams/constructors title earns both drivers 500 points each and the team a bonus 1,000 points for the team bank

If a series runs awards for pole positions and/or fastest laps those points will also be paid out at the end of the season.

New team creation costs will be waived until July for any mid-year series starting up. It's taking a while longer than expected for points to begin to amass.
