Handicaps:
Ideally handicaps are in divisions – AB=1st division, CD=2nd division, EF=3rd division. If it is necessary to combine grades out of their division, add 30m to CD and 70m to EF.
Any handicaps with EF entries can only be 3 laps. Where no scratch man is handicapped, reduce the virtual scratch to scratch and adjust all others by the same amount. AB/CD to be 6 laps.

Determination of the overall winners each race day is –
1st race 1st place 3 pts 2nd place 2 pts 3rd place 1 pt
2nd race 1st place 3 pts 2nd place 2 pts 3rd place 1 pt
3rd race 1st place 3 pts 2nd place 2 pts 3rd place 1 pt
4th race 1st place 3 pts 2nd place 2 pts 3rd place 1 pt

The overall winner is the rider with the most points. If riders are equal on points at the finish of racing, divide the winnings.
If a handicap is raced on the day regardless of grades, the place getters only get the points.
