George,
I do believe that the AMA points represented in the spread sheet are for the
current year only. For this to be accurate you would need to know the prior
4 years data for every competitor.
Jerry,
Same question; does your data go back 4 years and does it include all
contests a competitor may have attended, i.e. out of district, NATS, etc.?
The converse is that "a particular does not make it universal". I still
contend that for any statistically based system to work there must be a
central point that can collect and analyze the data with assurance that it
is receiving all of the required input. Any gap in the data collection makes
the statistics unreliable. GI-GO
As has been stated by many, the point system has been made moot because the
vast majority move up BEFORE they point out.
The POINT I was trying to make about the POINT system is that it's
POINTless.

Gene,
If you check the District 6 website and look at the District championship
standings, the spreadsheet includes District Point and AMA point totals for
all participants.

The whole system, as it stands today, is an honor system. It is the

This in itself seems to be a strong argument for abolishing the rule.
