If there is a tie for a position, the tiebreaker is as follows: A. Number of elimination wins. B. The rating point system: Each driver will be rated according to his/her position in the standings. The rating system will begin after competition on the fifth point's day (July 7). The rating will be as follows: If a racer is in first place, one rating point will be awarded; second place will receive two rating points, third place will receive three rating points, etc. If two or more racers are tied with the same amount of points for any position, they will each receive the same amount of rating points i.e. tied for fifth each racer gets five rating points. After the sixth point's day, the rating numbers will be increased based upon what place the racer is in. This will continue through the end of the Steve Ficarro's Auto Body Ultra Quick 8 Points Series. On the last points day, if a racer is in seventh place and earns enough points on that day to move him/her into a tie for third place, the racer with the lower rating points will finish the year in third place and the higher rating points racer will be fourth. The only way a runoff will be necessary is if the earned points, number of wins, and rating points are the same. If after the tiebreaker, a result for a position has not been determined, a one-run run-off will occur. NOTE: Top 8 points earners after November 6, 2005 will receive an embroidered Jacket courtesy of Raceway Park.
