Contingency preference

[Al Fernandez]

What would you prefer, a contingency that pays 100$ per race for 1st or one that pays $1200 for the regional champ? Assume two paying races per weekend, six race weekends in the season, no other positions pay.

Neither. But between the two, $100 per race.

$50 for a win, $25 second, on down would be better. Bigger numbers better still...

#1. Spread the wealth.

[AllZWay]

I agree....the more spread out the better.

Don't change the question lol. I'm a bigger advocate than most for spreading payouts deeper into the field, that's not what this is about. This is about many small prizes Vs one big prize.

What's the purpose of the contingency?
If there is a solid sport design in place you should have your answer.

If it is a choice between, I would go with the pay-per-race. Give's more people an incentive to make a weekend. Midway through any given season, how many racers are really still in the hunt for the regional championship? In Texas 3 maybe 4 CMC and maybe 1 or 2 AI? For sure half the racers are out of the regional almost from the start but "on any given Sunday" anyone can win a points race.
So again, what motivation are you pursuing?
Spotlight on winnerS = pay-per-race
Spotlight on winner = regional

Put the $ where the light is brightest.

I choose pay per race.

I'm still wondering why we don't try to get spectators at these things....

Pay the first three or four places then skip a few places then pay three or four more places..........wait a minute we are already doing that.

Between those two, the one that pays per race. I think more of "us" have a shot at winning a particular race than just the couple that run for the regional title.

Can it be a combination? $100 per race and a small regional champ payout of $200 - $300. But if limited to the two choices, I prefer the $100 per race.
