Can someone explain how the points are awarded?  Last week I got one rider correct and scored 92 points.  This week I got three riders and scored 70 points.  Make this make sense.

I guess last weekend at Red Bud, was double points. I don't know for sure but now I'm winning it and am taking it a lot more serious.

It hasn't only been the past couple weeks.  The points payout has been very confusing.

You get a lot more points for the wild card than the other positions, so if that is the one you got right might explain it.

Seems like the wildcard pays out huge, but I had Jett last week and then 1 thru 3 this week.

Thank you!  There must be other points awarded for something.  Those points don't add up for me in a couple rounds.

edit: Finally did some research and reading.  Amazing what you can find when you do this.  Shame on me.

Scoring Breakdown

Points will be awarded as follows:

If a rider places in the exact spot you chose for that rider in your picks, you will be awarded the following points corresponding to each position:

1st Place = 26 Points

2nd Place = 23 Points

3rd Place = 21 Points

4th Place = 19 Points

5th Place = 18 Points

Wildcard = 26 Points

If a rider places within the top five positions and within one (1) place of the spot you chose for that rider in your picks, you will be awarded 10 points.
Example: if you choose Chase Sexton for 2nd place and he takes either 1st or 3rd place, you will be awarded 10 points.

If a rider places within the top five positions but more than one (1) place away from the spot you chose for that rider in your picks, you will be awarded 5 points.
Example: if you choose Chase Sexton for 2nd place and he takes either 4th or 5th place, you will be awarded 5 points.

Points Multipliers
Point multipliers may be announced and applied to specific rounds during the season. Specific rounds may be given multipliers or 2x or 3x points. Make sure to check for announcements of points multipliers throughout the season.

You are in 1st overall? How many points do you have?

Their scoring system is bizarre. Why not award the official AMA points? And the wild card counts as much as picking the OA winner? I'm pretty done with it.
